      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 #84 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Let me tell you a story about a man named Mike. Overwhelmed by components, can't believe marketing claims. And then one day while surfing on the net, up came a page with an interesting claim... Knowledge that is. Reference material. Widescreen Review. Well, the first thing you know old Mike's signed up. Getting monthly coverage and in-depth reviews. He thought Widescreen Review is what we all should read. So now I'm reading Joe Kane and spouting ISF calibration, that is. Image quality. SMPTE bars.
