Pretty chuffed with this transfer, sound and vision near perfect for a movie this old. Well worth the long wait. What do you guys reckon? Hope Indiana Jones gets the same treatment. Can't wait to see them also.

When will this be available in a regular BD case? I don't like the digibook cover.

Great buy!

Worth noting that the original 2.0 mono soundtrack is available. It's not listed on the back cover which worried me, but it's on the disc, which rules. It's great to see the film with its original sound mix. The remastered sound mix just sounds off...

My only concern is the lack of grain. It just doesn't look very filmic to me.

Hey mate went and watched this last night and i thought it had no grain either till i had a closer look. Its there. But its a fine layer. Looks like they may have done a tiny bit of grain scrubbing. Dont know why everone is jumping down ur neck for pointing this out.

Yeah I saw it at Big W, it was $19 something, though I'm sure you would be able to find it for $15-$16 at some other retailers.

Just watched the Blu-Ray again last night just because I felt like watching this classic once more this time with the orignal mono mix. Does anyone think that in terms of PQ that the third act of the 3 guys on the boat hunting down the shark, shines the best? I mean the bold deep colours and textures of the boat interior, the yellow vivid barrels, the fine detail of the water, the several medium shots and close-ups etc. The third act is demo material stuff that looks consistency more pleasing then everything previous in the film (which still looked great, but not quite as stunning.)

Does anyone see what I mean?
