Jaws - 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital [4K UHD]

Gonna need a bigger boat! This is a classic summer watch for our family (even the kiddos) for its age the special effects are amazingly good, Spielberg was a genius. Picture quality is great and having optional subtitles is always a nice bonus

"Buy thIs for the new documentary alone!" I suppose that my blurb is kinda old-school, and perhaps even contrived, but after watching the "Jaws @ 50" definitive documentary, created by Laurent Bouzereau, the undisputed king of feature-length movie 'making of' supplements that have graced so many physical media releases of classic and iconic films through the years, I think I just experienced one of his very best pieces, if not 'the' absolute best work of his career. Understand, that already owning and collecting numerous versions of this film on every type and size of disc imaginable in every conceivable resolution offering, I was hesitant to purchase this, but then I learned that the third disc would be a brand new documentary commemorating the 50th anniversary of the film, and being a collector in every sense of the word, it was a no-brainer; I was absolutely getting this, and when I saw Mr. Bouzereau's name super-imposed at the very beginning of this, I got very excited, and knew without a doubt, that I had made the right decision.However, I was not prepared for just 'how' good this would be! There are other documentaries about the making of "Jaws," and I really appreciate them all, but here's what was missing in them, that is a 'huge' part of "Jaws @50," and that is the brutal realities and hardships of making a film, by a young Director, within an industry that can be very unforgiving, and the emotionally draining experience that this was for Steven Spielberg, simply because the odds were so against him in actually completing this film, especially when a powerful studio appears to be just one more day away from shutting your movie down.Other writings and documentaries have alluded to this fact, but "Jaws @ 50" puts the viewer through the spirit-crushing reality of this seemingly inevitable conclusion for Spielberg, but then we get to feel the powerful triumph that he experienced, when the film became a phenomenon, simply because he put aside his fears of the looming end of his career, and stayed not just aboard what appeared to be a sinking ship, but commanded it as well, either to its doom, or in this case, sailed it right into movie history, as one of the most successful and beloved films of all time. What a vindication and finally, in this documentary we get to experience this, as if we have been right there with Spielberg all along!"Faith is believing when common-sense tells you not to" - "Miracle on 34th Street" - 1947 (May I add, the year of the 'Roswell' crash)What I really loved about "Jaws @ 50" was hearing the words, demonstrating without a doubt, the immense pride and mutual respect and admiration that so many associated with "Jaws" had and have for one another, and Spielberg says it best and in the most heart-felt way imaginable, as this documentary comes to a close, in so many words, that he sincerely hoped that everyone involved in the film, especially in it's 50th iconic year, can feel his deep respect for this movie, suggesting to me anyway, that it wasn't 'him' that made "Jaws" such a great movie, but 'all' of them, made it 'great' together. Those were not his exact words, but that's what I got from what he said, which I think is the very definition of humility. I can honestly say that I got choked up, as if I had just experienced "Schindler's List" all over again. That may be a weird analogy, but I'm just being real.Putting aside all of that, "Jaws @ 50" also contains countless statements from numerous a-list filmmakers and actors, and a "Jaws" aficionado's early-Christmas present of an extensive collection, scattered throughout, of never-before-seen pre-production, production, post-production and home-movie footage. People that appreciate the Shark itself are not left out either, as this film includes interviews and footage of the efforts of many to bring back the often-misunderstood Shark population.I could go on and on about this, but I'll stop and just say for the record: Do not hesitate for one second to purchase what is admittedly, basically the same fantastic special feature-loaded Blu-Ray / 4K package release from five years ago, but the third disc, which is this new documentary, makes it worth every cent to buy it all over again! The original gorgeous one-sheet artwork that graces the slip-cover and the actual keep-case, seals the deal! Bottom-line, I loved it!

Great graphics on 4K!The sound also terrific and you get to pick either the original sound or the remastered sound.

I watched JAWS as a child in 1975, read the book the year before (it was my first adult book and my divorced parents had to discuss whether or not to even let me), and I've owned the movie in every modern format (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray). Still I bought this set. Why? For the extras, the documentaries. And I am not a film nerd. I would never buy a set just for the extras - except this one at this time. This is the 50th Anniversary, and they threw everything at this: the original, matchless,1995, Laurent Bouzereau "The Making of JAWS"; the very good 2007 follow-on "The Shark is Still Working"; and the just-released (2025), Laurent Bouzereau retelling, "JAWS @ 50". This is stupendous. Such a rich compendium, a trove, of insights, details, candid and warm and genuine anecdotes - if you love JAWS, or even just great movies, you must get this set even if only for the extras. There is no way you'll ever regret it.

It's a classic and must watch during the 50th year!!!!

I really enjoyed revisiting this classic movie and watching the bundled feature-length documentary which was on its own separate Bluray disc.There was minor shipping damage to the corners of the outer cardboard sleeve. Otherwise everything was in pristine condition.

JAWS is great and scary movie that makes me not want to go near a large body of water!!Great Action movie to watch!!!

A classic movie everyone should have in their library. It’s still thrills after 50 years! Highly recommend, especially at this wonderful price
