Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my all time FAVORITE MOVIE. I saw this when I was abt 9.. and it’s been my favorite movie ever since. It’s made me love sharks. I’m 17 now and I’ve seen a lot of movies... and nothing has ever topped this. This movie is a true masterpiece. The score is amazing. The actors are amazing, there is so much suspense- even when there is practically nothing happening, you still get chills. Robert, Roy, and Richard did SUCH an amazing job in this movie. I have chills when they see the shark for the first time, the way they acted makes it truly an amazing scene. I will NEVER get tired of this movie. And if you haven’t seen it, LITERALLY GO WATCH IT NOWWW! lol. I’m in love with the score as well, John Williams is a genius and he is truly a talented man. This is the best score for any movie ever in my opinion. I don’t think anything will top it. This is just such a powerful movie, Steven Spielberg did an AMAZING job directing this. It’s just... a masterpiece.

I know it is controversial to say, but Jaws may be one of the best shark movies ever made, dare I say second best after Sharkansas Women’s Prison Massacre (note: do NOT watch Sharkansas.) In all seriousness the best shark movie ever is Quint’s story about the sinking of the Indianapolis. Robert Shaw makes it absolutely riveting and terrifying. So if there are any issues with the film it is two things the first is that at times the music is so jaunty it feels like it’d fit better in The Goonies. The other thing is it could use more Quint. Shaw owns every frame he is in, it is one of the most captivating performances in cinema. It holds up perfectly 45 years later. It is a real shame Shaw died three years later as most actors would love to have a role with Quint’s staying power and he never even had a chance to get a hint of his legacy. The 4K transfer does what it can but it can only do so much with all the daylight scenes and murky water. The night and underwater scene do really shine. It is still the best looking version I’ve seen. Jaws is about as perfect as films come, especially the back half which is the most engaging three dudes on a boat have ever been. The disc has some great special features and the included booklet has some great photos and information. The lenticular packaging looks super sharp.

Jaws is a CLASSIC, and I've seen it in the theaters on VHS, DVD and Blu-ray. I have to say I was not completely impressed with the Blu-ray restoration. The picture was much improved from DVD, but to me, it lacked in sound. So I was guardedly excited when I heard about this remaster. WOW! I was so impressed with the visual aspect of the movie. The movie was markedly clearer and sharper than it's ever been, but the most impressive part was the Dolby Atmos soundtrack. I heard mutterings I've never heard in all the times I've watched the movie. I recommend this movie for a few reasons: 1. It's a great, timeless movie 2. The 4K remaster brings out the color and clarity we've never seen in this movie 3. The soundtrack is the best it's ever been, maybe the clearest I've ever heard in an older movie.

In my humble opinion (what do I know?) JAWS is the greatest movie ever made. It was a combination of talent, happy accidents, not-so-happy accidents, and filmmakers at the top of their creative peaks that resulted in a truly magical film. Presented in 4K, the film is the best it will probably ever look. Wondered what it was like to see JAWS on June 20, 1975? Here you go. The sound mix is built off of the one done around the year 2000 which features modern sound effects like knife hits and gunshots. Not a fan to say the least but I'll take it. This 4K package includes a reprint of the booklet from the DVD special edition which featured that sound mix for the first time. Highly recommended for fans of classic films, Spielberg, or just good stuff in general!

Just about every film buff is familiar with JAWS, so I will limit my review to the quality of the 4K restoration and it's a stunner! Jaws has probably never looked or sounded this good. While the first part of the film is extremely dated (and it should be it's 45 years old) the moment the Orca sets sail it becomes an epic battle between man and shark which could have been filmed last week. Grain has been left intact. I opted for the 45th Anniversary Limited Edition with the "Collectible Book." Steelbook collectors may have purchased Best Buy's other option. Either way, if you have 4K collection, JAWS is a must own addition. Highly recommended.

This classic film should be in everyone's 4K library. The transfer of the film is perfect. This is quite arguably one of the best looking 4K movies that anyone could own. The movie itself is amazing. It doesn't age and still holds up. After all these years and numerous times of watching it, Jaws can still strike a cord. What more can anyone fan of movies ask for? The score on the 4K has never been better. It adds a different feel to an already wonderful experience. If you don't own this movie already, then what are you waiting for? Even the Blu-ray edition in this set is an upgrade from previous releases.

What a classic this movie is. One of the all time greats. I never tire of watching it. One of the first blockbusters too. Seeing this as a kid back in 1975 and than seeing it again on 4K blu-ray brings back back a lot of nostalgia. I thought the 1080 version was incredible, yet this 4K transfer improves on it even further. I mean it really ups the ante again. The sound is impressive too. It has a nice 5.1 track, but includes the original mono track. I prefer the mono track because it has more of the original bass in it. There you go. Folks! you have to pick this up. It needs to be in your movie library.

One of the best films ever made, even though it was released in 1975 - it's a timeless masterpiece, like Godfather 1 & 2. Although it put a lot of irrational fear in people in regard to Sharks, I believe most of the facts in the film are still proven correct about sharks. Quint's piece about the USS Indianapolis is close enough for Hollywood for historical accuracy, and encouraged me to research further - tragic event of the Pacific Theater. FYI - the consensus of science in the early 20th century told the public sharks were no threat to humans in the water - groupthink at its finest.

I loved Jaws as a kid. It was suspenseful with wonderful characters. Spielberg knows how to tell a story and, more importantly, he knows how to develop the relationships with the characters in very charming ways. (I’m thinking of the scene at the dinner table with Brody’s young son.) This was the movie that spawned my son’s love of sharks. Even though the shark’s behavior is far-fetched, especially for Shark Week fans, it is a great movie. Spielberg did not have the technology there is today, but he pulled off an iconic masterpiece. Holds up beautifully even after so many years!

The great thing about old movies is that they are shot on film, so they can have true 4k digital intermediates. This film is no exception. It is truly a beautiful remaster of one of the greatest and iconic movies of all time. I wont get into the movie, im sure all of you have already seen it. But I will talk about the A/V quality. Holy smokes! Dolby vision really brings out the depth of colors and details that I have never seen before. The atmos track is good, but dont expect reference quality Atmos sound from this. This is a MUST own for physical media fans out there.

THIS is how you restore a film to 4K. I love seeing older movies re-released on 4K, but not every transfer is a home run (e.g. Terminator 2). The blu-ray version of Jaws already looks great, but this 4K edition really transports the viewer back to the summer of 1975 when the shark first dominated theaters. The movie itself is a classic; and I’m sure you’re not reading this for a review of the film. Grain is intact but not overbearing, and the balance of the iconic sound effects and John William’s masterful score is perfect. I would highly recommend picking this up.

JAWS, Steven Spielberg's action packed masterpiece remains a motion picture every film buff should own, and an absolute must in 4K Ultra HD Blu Ray. This is still a nail-biting edge of your seat action thriller from beginning to end, and the great white shark (Bruce) is as real as one can imagine. What's an even bigger treat is a highly interesting documentary extra about the making of this film masterpiece, and it's worth the affordable price of replacing your former film copy, as a second Blu ray disc is included.

JAWS is a classic. No doubt. I hadn't seen it in years. I did enjoy rewatching it, and I have little doubt that this 4K UHD presentation is the best it has ever looked. My disappointment is perhaps due largely to the glowing reviews online from professionals who adore the film. For them, seeing it look so clean and detailed was enough, and deserving of high praise. What I found was that the HDR was lacking here. It looked like another good transfer, but lacking HDR specular highlights. Maybe it wasn't graded at a very high nit level, or the highlights were not bumped in order to attain the original theater-like presentation. If that were the case, then a 4K HDR presentation only brings minor improvements over a 1080p Blu-ray since the resolution doesn't make that much of a difference to most people given the size of their display and the distance they sit from it, along with their visual acuity. Some color improvements could be gained, but that's it. Don't get me wrong. It looks good. It probably is an improvement over the 1080p Blu-ray, but not a huge one. Still, at the price point, and for the bonus features, it's not a bad deal, especially if you don't own the previous Universal 1080p Blu-ray disc.

To put it succinctly, this is one of the best movies ever made, so it is only appropriate that it receive royal treatment. The transfer is fantastic, based off of the 2012 restoration, which was done for a second-to-none BD as it is (which is also included in this set). The packaging is also great (I used custom artwork of the original poster art), although the shipping packaging was insufficient for protection (I got lucky... the only crease looks to have been done at the factory). Get it while you can!

This is by far the best version of JAWS that has ever been released. The 4K is just stunning and has never looked better before. The previous Blu-ray that was released by Universal did look good as it was restored, but this, on the 4K TVs, wow. The overall package is great with the lenticular outer sleeve that houses the 4K disc/Blu-ray, then you have the very nice booklet all about the movie with pictures. Comes with a Digital copy also. Highly recommended for those above the age of 12.

A great horror movie. A great family movie. Great acting, great cast, great music score. Unique in its explanation and release to the world of The USS Indianapolis ship and the story behind it. In fact one of Peter Benchley employees called off work the day after Jaws was premiered. She never knew how her son passed in WW2. This was top secret until Stephen Spielberg was allowed to place this information into his movie. No other shark movie comes close to this movie.

You hear people say that the upgrade doesn't matter, and that may be true for generic drops onto 4K... but when you have a legacy title that has been carefully restored and upgraded to true 4K - it's amazing. This was my first 4K purchase, and now I'm a total convert. The film looks incredible. For generic titles, I stick to Blu-Ray, but for legacy films and collector's editions where you know they've done a real overhaul... go for 4K!

I love Jaws, and I think if you are like me you will buy this 4K release! I also suggest checking the digital releases since those also look comparable to the Bluray and I sometimes watch my digital version just because it's more convenient and also looks really good. Can it look better? Sure. And I hope we will get a better transfer down the line, but for now this is the best this movie looks and sounds!

As par the course, Universal's release and 4K transfer of one of their highest grossing and extremely popular movies gets the makeover it deserves. The image for this release is the best it's looked on home video, and the Atmos mix which may be a bit extreme for a movie that essentially went out in mono sound in 1975, John William's score benefits greatly from an even wider room filing aural dimensionality. A+ Universal ! highly recommended!

Everyone knows jaws. With 4k everything looks better. Still as suspenseful as ever. If you haven't seen before. This will be a treat. And seeing young Steven Spielberg in behind the scenes stuff is a oh wow. So young. I personally hadn't seen a lot of the behind the seens. That makes it worth it too. The seems on the water look so wow. If not a better way of putting. It. You will love it and noce addition to my collection
