Shot anamorphically on mostly 35mm with Panavision Panaflex cameras and lenses, the film has been given a brand new 4K digital intermediate of its new restoration which is what has been used for this release. It houses a native 3840 x 2160p resolution image in a slightly reduced 2.35:1 aspect ratio (notes state that theatrically it was released with a 2.39:1 ratio) that also utilises 10-bit video depth, WCG and HDR10 grading (no Dolby Vision), all of which has been encoded using the HEVC/H.265 video codec. For more about Jaws 2 4K and the Jaws 2 4K Blu-ray release, see Jaws 2 4K Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on July 6, 2023 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5. Because of some of those shooting problems, it has some issues baked into its very source – the underwater scenes look softer than those above the waterline and certain shots have been given a strange hazy look to them. These remain present in this restoration because they are as much part of the source as the image itself – so it is likely that expectations may need to be managed prior to viewing. Colouring is amazing, there is a rich vividness that really pops, the blue skies are like looking out of a window on a sunny day, the red of the blood, the green of the grasses; must be one of the best uses of HDR and WCG I’ve seen.

Jaws 2 4K Extras

Note: this set includes the new 4K UHD disc and the same 1080p disc from the previous 2016 release, so comparisons between the two releases can be made below. 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. There are English SDH, Italian, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish subtitles available.

I suppose it was funny at the time, but if you like corny humor, then maybe this is up your alley. 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. And if we have JAWS 2 swimming towards us on 4K, what about JAWS 3D which turns 40 this year? And - try as some might - let's not forget JAWS the Revenge.
