The Making of Jaws– This is the same one produced for the special edition LaserDisc years ago and it’s also appeared on the DVD. resplendent accuracy. Throughout, the picture proves to be very dynamic. There are many examples of notable, superb textures that stand apart at this Universal is on a roll with its recent catalogue UHD releases. First The Blues Brothers and now Jaws, two indelible classics given

positioned slightly below the characters, aimed upwards to allow plenty of sky into the frame, at the 52:40 mark for a very good example of both color Sure, I imagine come around the 50th anniversary they will do another restoration, likely in 8K by then, and that is the only way I think this film will ever look any better than this. That’s just my honest opinion here, folks. It is one very nice upgrade and worth making the jump from DVD or Blu-ray to a great 4K presentation of the original 2012 restoration — in all of its glory. 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's

appreciable boosts to sharpness and clarity, even at distance, obvious in comparison but even plain to see when simply watching the UHD straight 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. 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. creep in but they're rare and barely visible, such as on the left-hand side of the screen at the 1:24:17 mark. There are no encode artifacts ofvideo and Dolby Atmos audio. No new extras are included but this set does ship with a booklet and a cool lenticular slip box. 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. Aside from the new booklet, the same set of supplements are ported over for this limited edition and shared between both the UHD disc and the accompanying Blu-ray.

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 ...In celebration of its 45th anniversary, Universal brings the 1975 classic 'Jaws' to the UHD format. New specifications include 2160p/Dolby Vision 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.

I might keep hold of my lovely digibook. If the 4K comes in a naff case, i’ll just put the disc in the Digibook For its 45th anniversary, Universal brings Jaws to the UHD format with a practically impeccable 2160p/Dolby Vision UHD presentation. In the Jaws 4K Blu-ray delivers stunningly beautiful video and superb audio in this exceptional Blu-ray release 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). reference quality. Grain is fine, accentuating the native filmic roots and bolstering the sense of cinematic texturing that sweeps through the shots withJaws” 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. 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.
