The scenes in natural light are the most impressive in terms of color, with improvements in saturation and luminance not possible on traditional Blu-ray without HDR (on this 4k Blu-ray edition delivered via Dolby Vision and HDR10+). By the way, it’s also interesting to note the restoration team actually created another film print of Jaws for archival reasons. The height channel speakers get used for sound effects really effectively in ways to make things such as waves or a boat sounds later on in really fill the room. It’s nothing excessive, just something that does the film justice in terms of sound, it’s worth stating that John Williams’ original score here sounds excellent with a very thunderous amount of bass at times, a nice rear channel usage, and just a perfect level of height channel now added. This Dolby Atmos mix is truly amazing and by far the best this film has ever sounded. This is remarkable to hear a 1975 film that originally was released in Mono in a sound mix now even more intense and justifiable than the previous 7.1 mix (found on the 2012 Blu-ray). The 4K UHD Blu-ray Disc includes the following bonus materials, presented in a variety of HD and SD video quality with Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo sound:

overboard by redefining the film's color temperature or fundamentally altering any component. On the contrary, this is a perfectly natural grading that Jaws” was a 1975 film directed by Steven Spielberg, in what would be his second effort as a feature-film director, and in turn would be the film that really launched his career. 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. For its 45th anniversary, Universal brings Jaws to the UHD format with a practically impeccable 2160p/Dolby Vision UHD presentation. In the It’s at around 48 minutes in when the original score (by John Williams) can get pretty deep and so do some sound effects, resulting in a pretty nice amount of low-end bass coming from the subwoofer. Next, is an underwater scene that comes with even more bass and a great amount of use of the height channels as well. This all as the music itself gets used, along with sound effects, throughout the height channel speakers of this Dolby Atmos mix. It’s a pretty damn good mix in terms of encompassing the viewer (listener) in a complete box of sound in their room, so-to-speak. 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.Plot: What’s it about? Video: How does it look? Audio: How does it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line Plot: What’s it about?

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.

Jaws: Other Editions

Next, the all-new Dolby Atmos audio mix here blows the lossless 7.1 surround mix, found on the previous Blu-ray release, away or perhaps right out of the water? The addition of height channels and still keeping the four rear channels works out exceptionally well. This can go from being one very over-the-top intense mix to being subtle at the drop of a hat. The height channels, here in Atmos, get used for the sound effects and especially for the beautiful original score by John Williams. This mix is certain to please anyone. Of course, Speilberg directed Jaws based on the novel by Peter Benchley and shouldn’t be solely responsible for the demonizing of sharks. In fact, he was not the original choice for director. But nevertheless, Speilberg took the script and turned it into one of the most frightening and influential thrillers of all time. Jaws begins with a night scene in which we see the first victim of the giant great white, and in terms of video quality isn’t exactly the way you want to show off the capabilities of 4k. But when the movie switches to daylight there is a noticeable improvement in sharpness, finer grain, and color depth. Coming from the same restoration efforts done a few years ago, the original 35mm camera negatives have been remastered to a brand-new 4K digital intermediate, and the results are nothing short of marvelous. Naturally, the native 4K transfer still shows a few age-related issues, like a couple soft scenes here and there, but on the whole, the 2160p picture displays sharper, more distinct definition in the hair and clothing of the cast, revealing the tiny wrinkles and pores in the faces of actors. We can plainly make out the smallest detail and object in Quint's boat, from the scratches and imperfections on the wood to the bottles and fishing tools hanging along the walls. disc has the same supplements as seen on past digital discs and the last Blu-ray (see our comparison

Next, the movie was shot on 35mm film using the Arriflex 35-III and Panavision and Panflex cameras. The film then, after the 2012 4K restoration, received a 4K digital intermediate (master). During one of the best scenes in film history, when Quint and Hooper are comparing scar stories while waiting for Jaws to resurface with a barrel attached, we find the true test of HDR. The hull of the boat is dark and not evenly lit, and much of the scene is shadow. But with High Dynamic Range some of those details in the dark areas are more evident.

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. and balanced. Additionally, the stage stretches gently, but naturally, to include seaside atmospherics, such as rolling waves and beachside din when
