Jaws 3-D Ratings & Reviews
- Riggs_FamJuly 25, 2025Hey… Jaws at sea world. I’m in! It my favorite jaws, but can’t be missed.
- ርልዪረFebruary 26, 2025The 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.
- Kevin WardJuly 25, 2025This is still pretty terrible, but it did make me miss my 3D that crapped out a couple years ago. 😢 I’m still holding onto my 3D library with the hopes that 3D TV’s make a come back again. Had totally forgotten that Dennis Quaid, Louis Gossett Jr. and Lea Thompson were in this.
- ZokkiieJuly 16, 2025Pretty rough watch. The 3D effects are super dated, the shark looks ridiculous, and the plot just kinda flops around. It tries to be tense but ends up more goofy than anything. Only worth it if you're into bad '80s sequels.
