Disappointing that there’s nothing new on-disc, but what’s here is fine. Just…fine. Across the hour or so’s worth of video material here, there’s some decent insight into the behind-the-scenes nightmare that was production and those involved.

Next, is an underwater scene that comes with even more bass and a great amount of use of the height channels as well. This all as the music itself gets used, along with sound effects, throughout the height channel speakers of this Dolby Atmos mix.

It’s nothing excessive, just something that does the film justice in terms of sound, it’s worth stating that John Williams’ original score here sounds excellent with a very thunderous amount of bass at times, a nice rear channel usage, and just a perfect level of height channel now added. This Dolby Atmos mix is truly amazing and by far the best this film has ever sounded. This is remarkable to hear a 1975 film that originally was released in Mono in a sound mix now even more intense and justifiable than the previous 7.1 mix (found on the 2012 Blu-ray).

The addition of height channels and still keeping the four rear channels works out exceptionally well. This can go from being one very over-the-top intense mix to being subtle at the drop of a hat.
