The Shark is Still Working: The Impact and Legacy of Jaws – 10 featurettes running at 1 hour 40 minutes. 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. For the week that ended on July 4th, Paramount Home Media Distribution's Sonic the Hedgehog held the number-one spot on the Blu-ray-only chart. A live-action adaptation of the popular video game, Sonic entertained audiences during its release last February, grossing ...
The Shark is Still Working: The Impact and Legacy of Jaws– In this we get some interviews with the cast and crew as well as director Steven Spielberg. Some other filmmakers such as Kevin Smith and M. Night Shyamalan chime in as well. Broken up into ten chapters, we get a look at pretty much everything that went into the making of this monumental classic and it’s a must see for any fan of the film. Jaws: The Restoration– This refers to the restoration of the Blu-ray and not the 4K disc. 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. promotional materials gallery, and a closing note on the film's legacy. The UHD case and the booklet ship inside a sturdy, good looking slip box with For its 45th anniversary, Universal brings Jaws to the UHD format with a practically impeccable 2160p/Dolby Vision UHD presentation.

From the Set– A UK featurette hosted by Iain Johnstone that shows us a bit of behind the scenes footage and a brief interview with a much younger Steven Spielberg. movie was based, cast and crew bios, filmmaking facts, a dissection of John Williams's score, notes on building the shark, storyboards, script excerpts, 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. brand new life on the UHD format. Steven Spielberg's early career masterpiece is a visual and aural delight. The picture is practically perfect and the 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.

The only problem with this restoration of Jaws is that it needed at least one more pass to fix all the dust spots and artifacts. The imperfections are more evident the larger the TV, but pop up throughout the film (see the examples below). With a movie of this significance it’s hard to believe the spots were missed. That isn’t to belittle the amount of work the restoration team put into Jaws though. Watch the bonus feature about how each frame was examined and repaired, some taking up to 2-3 hours each!
