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.
