Excellent 4k release! I have watched it quite a few times and then some more with friends. Classic movie brought into the 4k spotlight.

Little need be said about the many ways “Jaws” pioneered a whole genre, set new standards, and remains thoroughly enjoyable in its own right. And this 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray edition makes use of the best technology yet to capture what this movie has to offer, and bring it into our homes. From the opening scene, the images are so sharp and vibrant, they are more lifelike than ever. This 4K transfer reveals a rich palette of details and subtle nuances that I had never noticed on the DVD—which is the reason for the title I gave this review. From the sense-fueled beach party at night to the scenic views of Martha’s Vineyard by day to the showdown with the shark at sea—with these images, you are all but right in the middle of things. (Oh, and I meant Amity Island, of course.) The sound was already great on the DVD. Now that we have this 4K Blu-ray, the picture has pulled even with the sound. Add to that a generous lineup of bonus features, and you will find that this edition is the one of choice. PS: The Movies Anywhere code is nice to have, but the video is somewhat pixelated on my 27’’ monitor.

Excellent quality on the 4K disc over a standard Blu-ray edition. You will see, hear and feel a difference. Many times an older film like Jaws doesn't really look all that great in 4K. But not with this edition. They took much time and energy to make it have the look and sound of a new release. So, that's why you should get this one. Here's why you should pick up a steelbook copy of anything from Best Buy at curbside or in store: They ship steelbook editions in a bubble envelope. No cardboard slats on each side, no bubble pack. This won't be very cool if Grandpa's heavy Betamax is getting shipped right beside it, and lands on it. It could really be damaged easy with what they use to ship.
