      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Also known as "Jaws 3" and "Jaws 3D."

    Story Synopsis:
    In "Jaws III" police chief Martin Brody

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that looks much older than 20 years. Shot with 3-D exhibition in mind (and released under the title Jaws 3D for those presentations), viewing this 2-D image is unimpressive, not to mention a lot less fun. At times, the picture can be painfully blurry, with smeared details. Colors are generally well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. Viewing in a completely blackened room is highly recommended, if only for the dark underwater footage leading to the film

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #30 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because of the honest reviews on home theatre components and the great one-on-one interviews. I subscribe to several home theatre magazines, but hands down Widescreen Review is always a must-read every month, and for that I thank you.
