About this deal

The Dolby Vision color grading is just as big a victory for the picture as the resolution increase. The colorists have certainly not gone Jaws in its debut to 4K UHD Blu-ray earns itself every bit of a perfect 5 rating for overall audio quality. The Atmos mix is where it’s at and there’s also the DTS 2.0 Mono mix included, for those who are purists and willing to put up with a lossy format. Two Jaws movies followed the original (nowhere near as successful), as the shark became the villain for many movies such as Deep Blue Sea, Soul Surfer, The Meg, and even goofy horror films like the Sharknado series. But none of those films come even remotely close to the quality of filmmaking, acting, and music composition found in Jaws. stretch and surround integration. It's a treat; never have the notes sounded so full, the low end so positive and complimentary, the engagement so sure

For the years leading up to this film Spielberg would make a name for himself directing three TV movies: “Duel” (1971), “Something Evil” (1972), and “Savage” (1973). However, Steven Speilberg’s directorial debut would come with “The Sugarland Express” (1974) just a year before this. These days the director is best known for going on to direct such classic films as “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977), “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981), “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial” (1982), “The Color Purple”(1985), “Jurassic Park” (1993), “Schindler’s List” (1993), and “Saving Private Ryan”(1998) — to just name a very few.

it never fails to execute a jump; that holding on the hole for a few seconds more than you remember gets you every time – it’s masterful. textures and hairs are unsurprisingly some of the most obvious beneficiaries of the resolution increase and clarity gains.

Some other filmmakers such as Kevin Smith and M. Night Shyamalan chime in as well. Broken up into ten chapters, we get a look at pretty much everything that went into the making of this monumental classic and it’s a must see for any fan of the film. resplendent accuracy.

Overall, the bonus materials here are downright excellent. Sure, this is the exact same set of extras previously found on the original 2012 Blu-ray but they are great and come to you on both the 4K disc and the Blu-ray. I mean, you get two feature-length documentaries about the making of the film and one that’s a retrospective. Then, there’s the original 2012 restoration featurette which is amazing and worth seeing. There’s also deleted scenes and outtakes, a featurette, and the film’s original theatrical trailer. All of that totals up to a little over four and a half hours of bonus content. Finally, there are the physical extras (as mentioned further above) which are great and make this on perfect set of bonus materials.

not much feel for dynamic range, depth, or detail when swimmers hurriedly rush out of the water in chapter 11; it's a fairly stagnant sonic moment but Sure, I imagine come around the 50th anniversary they will do another restoration, likely in 8K by then, and that is the only way I think this film will ever look any better than this. That’s just my honest opinion here, folks. It is one very nice upgrade and worth making the jump from DVD or Blu-ray to a great 4K presentation of the original 2012 restoration — in all of its glory.

Summary

Jaws: The Restoration– This refers to the restoration of the Blu-ray and not the 4K disc. Still, for those interested in seeing what it took to make the film look as good as it does, this is well worth a watch.
