No new extras are included but this set does ship with a booklet and a cool lenticular slip box. All of the supplements are carried over from the included, previously-released Blu-ray from 2012. Of note, this does have an included booklet with stills from the film as well as some production notes. 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. discrete overhead elements, instead using the top layer to gently reinforce elements as is prudent to do so. On the other end of the spectrum, there'sJaws 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 movie was so powerful it created a cultural shift in feelings towards sharks. The mysterious creatures were always feared, but not as much as after Jaws debuted. Shark fishing tournaments became more commonplace and the movie continued to propagate non-factual sentiments that sharks are man-killers and therefore a danger to humanity. Further, the UHD handles challenging scenes with ease, such as a foggy nighttime boat trip in chapter 10 where light pierces through fog with no sign of 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).

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. I sold my beautiful digibook in preparation for this after its recent cinema rerelease and after hearing nothing assumed it wasn’t happening. By the way, it’s also interesting to note the restoration team actually created another film print of Jaws for archival reasons.
