3D

Jaws (1975) is the movie that ushered in the summer blockbuster. In theory it makes perfect sense to do a 3D conversion of the original Jaws movie. Please don’t get this movie confused with the third Jaws movie which was released as Jaws 3D in 1983. Jaws 3D (1983) is terrible movie, but the 3D makes that movie fun and entertaining to watch. So how is it to watch the first and greatest Jaws movie in 3D? Unfortunately its not awesome. Don't get me wrong, it's fine for a conversion. It's nowhere as deep as Marvel's recent conversions and pales considerably to being filmed directly in 3D. The opening shark attack is too dark for good 3D depth. That being said the movie has several bright scenes in daylight that look nice in 3D. The movie also has some scenes on the water and underwater that look good in 3D. Overall the 3D aspect of Jaws (1975) is fine.

Final Verdict: Good 3D

Movie

Jaws was an instant classic in 1975, and it's still a classic in 2022.

The plot of Jaws is fairly simple. A great white shark makes Amity Island its hunting ground a week before the fourth of July holiday. After a young woman's chewed torso washes up on shore, Sheriff Brody (Roy Scheider) wants to close the beaches, mayor Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) doesn't think the risk warrants losing the summer tourist income for the town. After a couple more shark attacks, the town finally hires scruffy fisherman Quint (Robert Shaw) to hunt down the killer shark. Brody and a marine biologist Hopper (Richard Dreyfuss), board Quint's boat and they all go to the sea and hunt down the great white. Jaws is one of the greatest movies of all time. Jaws has an incredible script that still works nearly 50 years later. Jaws has perfect casting with likable and relatable characters that all give wonderful performances. The score of Jaws is iconic and is some of John Williams best music.

Jaws is a must see movie for anyone interested in cinema or wants to watch a great shark thriller. If you can only see this in IMAX, go for it.
