To be honest, I didn't notice a significant change to Jaws. Are the colours more vivid?

Thanks, I am just contemplating buying the current digibook and going with that one if the new release is not going to include the theatrical cut (my preferred version)

You've didn't noticed a significant change to Jaws on blu-ray, compared to the DVD? It's been overly remastered, the blu-ray looks awesome!

Perish the thought, slimdude -- I quite agree that it looks wonderful and inhabits a different universe than the comparatively abysmal DVD.

The previous poster was discussing revisionism by directors, specifically related to colour changes, and wondered what I thought about what had been done to Jaws.

I didn't notice any shift in the colours, particularly. He said he missed Jaws' previous "hazy" look as opposed to the crystal clarity of the blu-ray.

Yes ... But it's an amazing transfer ... Just different. Less 70s .. Which I am torn on.

Exactly ... And the water look a bit more blue ...

... I think.

Wow this looks great. I love it when old classics look amazing. How much room for 'improvement is there? Ill just be keeping the digibook regardless.

The colour timing on the Jaws Blu-Ray isn't that different from previous editions, the only difference is that the colours are better balanced and less washed out. It still has a 1970's 35mm theatrical colour palette. If you want a good example of a drastically changed colour palette, look at the Top Gun 3D transfer. Everything's teal and orange on that transfer.

Teal & orange...one of the reasons I'm not supporting that release.
