re: JAWS re-release
How are these Fathom events now? Are they using higher res projectors than they were a few years back, when people would routinely complain about seeing the screendoor/pixel structure?
Are the films 2k or 4K? |

Are the films 2k or 4K? Q: Will this be the restored 4K print screened? How will this film be projected? Fathom: Our Jaws event will include the complete restoration of the feature and will be distributed to the theaters via digital hard drive. |
re: JAWS re-release
The digital hard drive sounds better than satellite transmission, but people shouldn't be seeing aliasing artifacts (jaggies) for the price of the tickets these days.
Great film to see with an audience- but I'm going to celebrate the anniversary by staying home and making a larger screen for my HT. |

To people who saw this: Did the audience still scream out when Brody was chumming the water?

People screamed when the head came out of the boat.

Enter 6 black caps on the site listed above. Make sure when you select what product it came from you choose Minute Maid juice. It will not work if you choose any other product. Once you have entered 6 look at the notification box in the top right corner. Click on it and it should tell you that you have earned a free movie ticket. You can earn up to 5 tickets per account. The promotion is through Hollywood Movie Money and valued up to $13 per ticket. Some are saying on the MCR thread that some of the newer cap codes do not give you the option of what product to choose and it comes up automatically as Coke Zero(or whatever product I assume). Promotion is supposed to be good through 6/30, but I would not wait that long to try for the tickets. edit: Also forgot to add that you do not receive points when entering these codes. So you have to decide which more important, the 3 points or the tickets. |
re: JAWS re-release
I'm always surprised at how many people have never seen JAWS when attending its revival screenings.

re: JAWS re-release
I saw a trailer for this the other day before Jurassic World and it looked pretty horrendous. I hope that the movie itself is projected with a better picture.

re: JAWS re-release
Saw the 2:00 show today @ AMC and they left the house lights on for the first 20 minutes. It took me out of the film, because all I could think about was how I was going to chew their asses out when it was over. $12.50 for a matinee & leaving the lights on is inexcusable. Needless to say I got a free pass for another film.

Fuck me, I didn't realize this was today! I would've put in for the day off :sad:.
Wonder if there were any actual 35mm prints? Doubt it. If this is same master they struck for the Blu-ray and the same DCP I saw elsewhere, then it's a real stunner. |

the DCP actually has the 7.1 mix that is on the bluray.

re: JAWS re-release
I missed out on this, but a local theater will be doing some 35 mm screenings in July (including a midnight one) so I hope to make it to that.

I've seen Jaws many times and I still always look away (and plug my ears) when Quint does his chalkboard thing. *shudder* :lol: I had a great time at this showing. It was nice seeing it up on a big screen with a crowd that was really into it. But Fathom should've made it known that there was also a Ben Mankiewicz outro (about John Williams' score) after the credits. A lot of folks had already left by then. |

"Universal is honored to have been a part of so many extraordinary, unforgettable Steven Spielberg films over the past 47 years, including Jaws in 1975, E.T. in 1982 and Jurassic Park in 1993," said Jim Orr, president of domestic theatrical distribution for Universal Pictures. "No filmmaker, it's fair to say, has had a greater or more enduring impact on American cinema or has created more indelible cinematic memories for tens of billions of people worldwide. We couldn't think of a more perfect way to celebrate the anniversary of E.T. and the first Universal-Spielberg summer blockbuster, Jaws, than to allow audiences to experience these films in a way they've never been able to before." |
Re: JAWS re-release
I'm not as interested in the IMAX presentation as I am the RealD 3D showing.

Re: JAWS re-release
The 3D conversion was pretty good. Some scenes really showed a good amount of depth. There are some stereoscopic edges present in some scenes and a stutter with scenes involving fast moving action (people running or moving their arms around quickly.) But overall it was a good experience. Especially if you took advantage of the $3 Saturday.
I've seen Jaws a few times in 70mm, so I skipped the IMAX presentation. Didn't care to experience the remastered sound. :shrug: |
Re: JAWS re-release
I went to the IMAX since I don't care for 3D being a distraction. The explosion at the end really packed a punch.

I've seen Jaws a few times in 70mm, so I skipped the IMAX presentation. Didn't care to experience the remastered sound. :shrug: I saw the movie during its initial theatrical release. Now that I'm older, I spent more time enjoying the details in the film. One things I noticed on my Saturday (non-IMAX) viewing: At the end, while Brody is shooting at the shark with the rifle, there's a quick shot of the shark with a voice over of "blow up!". I don't remember this from the initial theatrical release. Of course, I was only nine at the time. Possible that I missed that detail on my initial viewing. FYI - Quint's Indianapolis speech remains one of the best monologues in movie history *. I read that he was drunk during the initial shooting of the scene - and rambled on about his wife and various other topics. The footage was unusable. He returned to reshoot the scene the next morning - and just nailed it. * I think it's up there with Rutger Hauer's Blade Runner speech and Peter O'Toole's address to his sons in The Lion in Winter. |
Re: JAWS re-release
Went to the IMAX, since the gimmick 3d wasn't worth the $3 the ticket cost. Anyone else notice some weird focusing issues in portions of the screen? I remember noticing it a few times, most notably when Brody is walking down the sidewalk talking to the mayor and bumps his head on a hanging sign. The names on the sign were completely illegible. I only noticed because I noticed being able to see a lot more detail throughout the movie than I ever had before when seeing it on the big screen.

Re: JAWS re-release
I didn't notice it. I wish I had known beforehand, I would've looked for it. I think we are the only two to see the IMAX one.

Re: JAWS re-release
I got the 4K for Christmas last year and showed it to our oldest at their insistence and they dug it. We went to a RealD 3D show today, their first 3D movie in a theater, and had a good time. The 3D worked well and the movie is, as always, wonderful. Lots of "You're in the water, too!" 3D effects.

Re: JAWS re-release
Back in theaters August 29th in IMAX for it's 50th anniversary
Even though I have it on 4K disc and digital, I was only 2 when Jaws came out and never had the opportunity to see it in the theater. I think I will do this. |
Re: JAWS re-release
Jaws will also be available in 4DX and 3D on the 29th

Re: JAWS re-release
Just bought my 70mm tickets. One of my absolute favorites that I've never seen on the big screen

Re: JAWS re-release
Wow. Where is it playing in 70 mm?

3 are in California. In your parts, there is one in Fort Lauderdale. |
Re: JAWS re-release
Damn it's not playing in any of my local AMC's. Hopefully they'll add it in, I missed the IMAX screenings from a few yrs back.(what anniversary was that for?)

They make such a big deal about quality but then there are so few ways to experience it. Why do they rigorously determine the quality of the film and the cameras where it is so much trouble to even film scenes in IMAX but then whore out their names to Subpar screens that are nowhere near large enough to take advantage of filming on true IMAX film? It seems like its universal for AMC theaters that IMAX screens still have the terrible old seats too. At least my theater finally fixed the big tear that was in the screen for years. |
Re: JAWS re-release
I saw it for the 40th. It was my first time on the big screen.

As I said earlier very few theaters have 70MM |
Re: JAWS re-release
Looks like it’s playing in IMAX just a few miles from my house. I’m going to take my son. He’s never seen Jaws and I’ve never seen it in the theater!

Re: JAWS re-release
Watched Jaws@50 last week. It was decent. Fun seeing a bunch of big name Hollywood insiders get interviewed but it's mostly just a puff piece. The Shark is Still Working still reigns supreme for Jaws documentaries. I can't imagine I'd ever rewatch it, unlike TSiSW.
