Next, the all-new Dolby Atmos audio mix here blows the lossless 7.1 surround mix, found on the previous Blu-ray release, away or perhaps right out of the water? The addition of height channels and still keeping the four rear channels works out exceptionally well. This can go from being one very over-the-top intense mix to being subtle at the drop of a hat. The height channels, here in Atmos, get used for the sound effects and especially for the beautiful original score by John Williams. This mix is certain to please anyone.

AFI has ranked the film score No. 6 among its Top 25 in history. John Williams’ two notes (E to F, or F to F-sharp), albeit often with a humorous tone, have been forever fixed in our memories as a sign of danger ahead.

The screenplay was adapted by Benchley himself, for the first three drafts, along with the help of Carl Gottlieb. Gottlieb is known first (and foremost to fans of the film) as the character “Meadows” in the film, and secondly best known for co-writing the screenplay and story to the film “The Jerk” (1979). Lastly, it’s certainly with noting that Gotltlieb also wrote the book “The Jaws Log” (1975) about the making of the film itself. Sure, I imagine come around the 50th anniversary they will do another restoration, likely in 8K by then, and that is the only way I think this film will ever look any better than this. That’s just my honest opinion here, folks. It is one very nice upgrade and worth making the jump from DVD or Blu-ray to a great 4K presentation of the original 2012 restoration — in all of its glory.

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.
