About this deal

some more blue punch and depth to skies and water. There are some shots where the difference in the sky can be quite dramatic, transitioning from Universal has released the sequel film 'Jaws 2' to the UHD format. New specifications include 2160/HDR video. This release includes the same core white titles are bold and brilliant rather than flat and faded, as on the Blu-ray. The bold red letters revealing the film's title gain significant enthusiastic or home to much vitality. Dialogue finds a natural center positioning and presents clearly and with no struggles in prioritization. The movie Life seems to be going swimmingly well for the folks of Amity Island. A new Holiday Inn is opening, the sun is hot, the sand is warm, the water is

The Shark is Still Working: The Impact and Legacy of Jaws – 10 featurettes running at 1 hour 40 minutes. Jaws was shot photochemically on 35 mm film using Arriflex 35-III and Panavision Panaflex cameras with anamorphic lenses and was finished on film in the 2.35:1 “scope” ratio for its theatrical exhibition. As part of Universal’s 100th anniversary in 2012, a decision was made to restore and preserve Jaws for the future. The film’s original camera negative was wet gate scanned in native 4K. The image was then digitally cleaned to remove scratches, dirt, and other age-related artifacts. A new 4K DI was created along with a new film-out negative. For its release on Ultra HD, a new HDR color grade was completed too (and fans will be glad to know that HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision options are all included). Despite the fact that this restoration was done 8 years ago, the result is gorgeous. Save for titles and transitions done optically (which means you’re looking at internegative rather than the camera neg), and a few shots in which the focus is a little soft, the improvement in fine detailing is very pleasing. Grain is intact, at a light-moderate level, allowing the image to retain all of its original photochemical character. The HDR grade has been done with a light hand, adding just a little pop to the image. Shadows are a bit deeper, highlights are more naturally luminous but never blown out. Only a couple of image tweaks have been done (notably an adjustment to ensure that the brightness levels of the night sky, as seen through the windows of the Orca’s cabin, match at all times) but these were visible in the 2012 Blu-ray as well (reviewed here at The Bits). The film’s colors benefit the most on Ultra HD, exhibiting a richer luster and more nuanced shadings. Yet remarkably, this film still looks like a production of its day—it retains that familiar Eastman color look. This is a very pleasing 4K presentation of a 1970s vintage film. Anniversary Collectors Edition (which appears to be fully English friendly and exactly the same as the UK release of the same version)

Colouring is amazing, there is a rich vividness that really pops, the blue skies are like looking out of a window on a sunny day, the red of the blood, the green of the grasses; must be one of the best uses of HDR and WCG I’ve seen.And if we have JAWS 2 swimming towards us on 4K, what about JAWS 3D which turns 40 this year? And - try as some might - let's not forget JAWS the Revenge. If Superman IV: The Quest for Peace can get a 4K release, then anything should be possible.

For fans of Steven Spielberg’s Jaws, this long-awaited 4K Ultra HD release has been well worth the wait. Not only does the film and sound look better even that it did even during its initial theatrical release, it’s hard to imagine that it could ever look better. Universal’s technical team is doing some marvelous 4K catalog restorations right now—here’s hoping we get to see lots more of them on physical Ultra HD going forward. This one is not to be missed. pale blue (Blu-ray) to deep blue (UHD). Overall, the HDR grading brings bolder yield to the screen, especially in the period attire where reds, blues,
