Agreed. It's definitely up there with the best. A true talent instilling real fear. I've said it a million times before, when a movie can terrorize people so much that it makes TONS of people afraid to even step in the water then you know somebody did something very right.

Yep, and every time I watch the movie, I can still feel my heart rate increase with the tension of the film. The movie is pure genius.

I take it you havent seen Bigger Jaws?

Yeah, I can pretty much get behind your summation of the Jaws series. That sounds about right.

This doesn't say there won't be any "restoration". It's definitely going to look better on Blu-ray to some degree. Up until Blu-ray, no other media format has been able to show off the detail that 35mm captures (the way they filmed the movie way back then). So there will still be definite resolution improvements.

What he means here is that there will be no touch-up work to possibly hide flaws. Take for example some old sci-fi movie that used strings to suspend a model UFO for filming (due to the limitations of technology) back then. Nowadays, when putting it on Blu-ray the studio would go in there and edit out those strings. Or some others might use CGI to digitally touch-up other flaws like that in other movies.

This will have none of that type of stuff. That means they're not going to end up using CGI to enhance the shark. This may mean you notice flaws better and it looks more fake, but at the same time you don't have to put up with a CGI shark placed over it.
