Sandy beaches are a highlight; even at distance, there's a tangible gain to overall definition and clarity, giving some added life to what is and there's a party every few feet. But Police Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider, reprising his role) cannot shake his fear of another shark

And finally, the finer colour textures and enhanced clarity also work to better resolve the film’s inherent grain. Much finer now and much better resolved, it doesn’t clump like it did previously at times on the previous release (especially when looking at screenshots of it), instead now looking like the fine and organic DNA of the very image it should be. 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 The Making of Jaws 2– This 40 minute documentary entitled (aptly enough), The Making of Jaws 2 has some interviews with the cast and crew, this tells of the headaches it took to get the movie made as well as following a movie like Jaws. Essentially, it tells you everything you wanted to know about the movie and then some.

Overall, the HDR grading brings bolder yield to the screen, especially in the period attire where reds, blues,

There are some shots where the difference in the sky can be quite dramatic, transitioning from 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. LFE channel. Band music and crowd applause at the opening ceremony struggle to find much clarity. Splashes, crashes, and gunshots aren't too terribly

Very, very good. This is not a modern film with modern technical foundations, but the core film elements thrive on the UHD format.

Across the hour or so’s worth of video material here, there’s some decent insight into the behind-the-scenes nightmare that was production and those involved. But it really would have been nice for something new, especially as there has appeared to be numerous interviews with various cast members popping up on YouTube recently to celebrate this film’s 45 th anniversary.

Williams' trademark theme -- duh-dum, duh-dum, duh-dum -- is at least impressively detailed and fairly deep, even without the added benefit of an There’s nothing new here, what’s included are the same series of supplements found on the previously-released Blu-ray. The color grading is very good, too. The HDR tones deepen the palette but also bring some minor corrective coloring to the film, for example adding Plot: What’s it about? Video: How does it look?

Will he be proven right at the cost of precious life, or will life go merrily on for Amity's unworried seafarers and beachgoers?The on-disc extras, that are the same for the Standard and Collectors Editions, are on the 4K UHD disc and are all ported over from the previous 2016 release: alarms fall on deaf ears, and he doesn't help his case when he draws a gun and frightens beachgoers when he believes a shark to be in their midst. The “French” Joke – Essentially this tells of how the title had to be changed in France to accommodate the translation. I suppose it was funny at the time, but if you like corny humor, then maybe this is up your alley. Because of some of those shooting problems, it has some issues baked into its very source – the underwater scenes look softer than those above the waterline and certain shots have been given a strange hazy look to them. These remain present in this restoration because they are as much part of the source as the image itself – so it is likely that expectations may need to be managed prior to viewing. 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
