Synopsis
The third film in the successful Jaws franchise follows yet another great white shark with an appetite for humans, this time invading the opening ceremonies of a marine park in Florida. The brand new complex offers visitors the chance to view the undersea kingdom from the safety of glass tunnels on the seabed. When a 35-foot great white breaks into the structure--seemingly in revenge for the death of its progeny--a group of marine biologists must do battle with the mighty mother beast.

Customer Reviews

A brilliantly fun, scary, popcorn movie.
FILM: Or "Jaws 3D" as it was in the cinema. Now, if you can get past the obvious 3D effects that don't translate well to a 2D screen at all, this is an incredibly fun film! It may not have the original cast, but Dennis Quaid et all do a superb job, and the script ties in elements from the first two films into little character pieces here and there, which is a great touch. I love this movie! It's just brilliant fun from start to finish, with a great mid-film twist (spurred on by what happens in the observation pool, which has actually happened many times in real life) and a relentless climax. The shark is HUGE, looks fantastic, the music is great, the suspense is back after it got lost with Jaws 2, the cast are all lovable and it rattles along nicely. It's not a cinematic masterpiece, no, but sequel-wise, you just don't get any better than this. (What a pity the 3D isn't in it anymore though...)
EXTRAS: Only trailers, but the DVD transfer is superb and worth the admission price! It's always been very grainy before (due to it being a 2D version of a 3D film) but this is a lovely cleaned up version, with brilliantly crisp sound and true widescreen. They really put a lot of work into bringing this to DVD - which begs the question of why they didn't create more extras. Oh well.

Don't take it too seriously
I actually find this film entertaining as a b-movie schlock horror, rather than a tense thriller that was the original. Just to remind people about the effects: yes they are shoddy, but then again the shark in the original is unconvincing too (when it appears). This film was shown at cinemas as 'Jaws 3D' and was supposed to be viewed with those red/green spectacles, hence the rather perplexing scenes such as the fish head or when jaws smashes into the control centre.
If you view it as a horror fan, there are some great death scenes; the shark is really quite ominous due to its ridiculous proportions and there is great shock value at some of the grisly deaths meted out to unwary divers. Best/worst death is Simon MacKorkindale's (Holby city/casualty) character's ( you just know that the English guy is going to die in the most horrible way!) : he is attempting to lure jaws into a vent to trap her (she's a mother, after all) but his life-line snaps and he gets trapped in the vent with her...he then somehow ends up (still alive) inside her over-sized mouth. You then hear his bones cracking!! Truly disturbing, even if it's totally absurd as well!
Don't know if I'd buy it, perhaps best to watch it on channel 5 ha ha!

An exciting, gruelling, accelerating Jaws movie
Jaws 3 deserves more credit than it's got. It has its critics, but in its own way, it's a really good film (especially if you love sharks like me). The models of the shark are superb and the film couldn't be set in a more attractive part of the world than Sea World, Florida. Mike Brody and his team really are in trouble when a 35 foot great white enters Sea World via an open gate and gives birth inside it. Okay, it doesn't compare to Jaws, but it's still one to watch and expect a classic film which is centred once again around the world's most feared man eater.
