Jaws 3 [Blu-ray] [1983]

The 4K ULTRA HD Blu Ray disc version of this film has greatly improved sound and picture quality over the standard Blu Ray disc version when played through a 4K ULTRA HD Blu Ray player and a 4K ULTRA HD TV with HDR (High Dynamic Range).

Love the jaws films each one different story great actors good story lines would recommend

Despite the back of the box saying Jaws 3D is on the blu ray, there is no blu ray with it.

The Bluray presents us with the 2D and 3D version of the film presented in full Bluray 3D not red/green anaglyph. This it is an important film for its use of 3D at the start of the early 80s "Resurgence" of the process. 1980s 3D is what would now be called "Native 3D" in that it is not converted to 3D using computers but is shot with 2 images at the time to get the left and right eye. Back in the day 3D would be used to the full with things poking out of the screen at every opportunity, often in ridiculous ways, just to give effect and in this context Jaws 3D does not disappoint. The depth of field is often HUGE and one or 2 shots are some of the best you will see, most notably the outdoor shots when the celebrity hunter arrives and the severed arm. Some of the shots make you go a bit cross eyed because they are so extreme, and often cutting between different depth of field set-ups caused my eyes to have issues readjusting at times. Even so, the 3D makes this enjoyable whereas in 2D it's a lacklustre and comical affair with poor effects and things poking at the camera for no apparent reason. One thing to note is that the 3D process here produced the 2 images on the same piece of film with each image compressed into one half of the frame. The drawback of this is that you get twice as much grain (and grain twice the size) as you normally would from a 35mm print. The grain is visible but actually much less noticeable on the 3D version than the 2D where it is distracting at times. This is most likely down to the grain from one image cancelling grain from the other. It's not digital noise it's the grain of the original film and it appears to have been faithfully reproduced here, too much image processing may have reduced the clarity of the image. This is definitely the best quality version we are likely to get. 2 stars for the 2D version, 4 stars for the 3D version.

Got for my shark obsessed son

Item has been advertised wrong no 3D Blu Ray as stated on case only the 4K disc.

a great action movie that looks great on blu ray at a good price.

This has to be the worst Blu-ray transfer I have ever seen, down there with Freemantle's Straw Dogs abomination. The DVD was poor to start with but somehow this HD "upgrade" is even worse. I'm all for a bit of natural grain but the dark scenes here are so smothered in white dots it's like trying to watch the film through a snowstorm. I can't comment on whether the 3D version looks any better as I don't have the technology to watch it but it's obvious that Universal haven't done any restoration on any the three Jaws sequels for Blu-ray (although films 2 and 4 were decent enough prints on DVD and so fare much better in HD).

L'immagine HDR10 è uno spettacolo, soprattutto se paragonata al discutibile blu ray PULP/UNIVERSAL che peraltro possiedo di qualche anno fa. Qui l'immagine è pulita e luminosa anche nelle sequenze notturne cosa che nel blu ray sopracitato erano orribili.La traccia inglese DOLBY ATMOS e più che ottima,insomma acquisto più che consigliato. N.B. la traccia italiana non è presente.

Don't buy, the betamax video has better picture quality, very very very bad, the man who restored this movie to blu ray must have been really drunk or high

Une excellente surprise ! N'ayant vu aucun des 3 Dents de la mer (=Jaws), j'ai longtemps hésité (les avis en ligne étant très différents) avant d'attaquer par le numéro 3, pour découvrir déjà la série, et retrouver Bess Armstrong 1983, si brillante dans High Road to China. J'ai donc découvert ce film directement en blu-ray, dans l'éd. allemande : Der weisse Hai 3, cop.2016 Universal Studios. TV Sony OLED 65 pouces et lecteur Panasonic 4K. Images épatantes, une surprise à ce point : belle technologie, foin des grincheux. Son, OK ; aspect fun bien supérieur à l'aspect pseudo-terreur, qui est tout à fait au second degré, cool, du moins en la version 2D, celle qui m'était accessible sur ce matériel récent mais prévu pour la 2D. Le scénario est astucieux, la progression est crédible, et les acteurs sont très bons ou excellents. Pour moi, la palme revient à Bess Armstrong, en jeune biologiste (senior biologist ! ) qui introduit le chic, le charme discret, et l'humanité à bon escient. Elle tient le film. Louis Gosset (as : Calvin Bouchard, l'exploitant du centre aquatique géant) est également excellent, tout comme Simon MacCorKindale. En supplément/bonus : la version 3D, pour laquelle je n'ai pas l'équipement nécessaire. Donc, film vu en 2D, VF, avec ensuite de larges retours sur plusieurs scènes en anglais, avec sous-titres anglais : là, Bess Armstrong apporte encore un plus. J'avais sous-estimé l'aspect voix, car la VF est déjà bonne. Plus qu'une découverte, un film que je pourrai revoir avec agrément, certainement en VO. Aucun risque !

Although not mentioned here at Amazon this local release of Jaws 3 on Blu-ray also includes the 3D version of the film (of course you still need all the relevant tech). It’s in the “special features” part of the on screen menu. What a treat to have one of the iconic 80’s 3D films for home viewing. The movie is what it is and if you’re looking for high brow cinema you are viewing the wrong film. Enjoy it for the popcorn and cheesy-ness. 2 stars for the film with an extra star to Universal for giving us the 3D experience.

Der dritte Teil war für mich schon immer der beste „der weiße Hai“ Film. Er wurde in 3-D gedreht, daher ist die Umsetzung auf DVD beziehungsweise Bluray schwierig. Die Bluray hätte trotzdem besser sein können. Ich vergebe trotzdem fünf Sterne, weil das Bild nicht wirklich schlecht ist und der Film immer noch spitzenmäßig gut.
