Jaws 3-D

About This Movie

Jaws 3-D, directed by Joe Alves, takes us back into the waters with a hefty dose of that classic shark terror, but this time it's set in a SeaWorld theme park. The atmosphere has a mix of amusement and dread, with the park's bright colors contrasting the looming menace of the thirty-five-foot shark. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but there are moments where the tension builds nicely, especially with the practical effects of the shark itself. It's not the same serious tone as the original, but it has its own charm with some interesting, if not cheesy, performances. There’s something about the 3D aspect that adds to the experience—definitely a product of its time, for better or worse.
