"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! Good for you!"

I don't have a 3D TV, so I watched the Jaws 3 non-3D Blu-ray, and it looked terrible. We're talking some ridiculously fuzzy, dark, crappy-looking shots that should have looked far better. Doesn't look like a lot of care was put into the transfer. Jaws 2 looks pretty good, though not fantastic.

That's probably due to the way it was shot in 3-D, using an over/under filming system. Since one strip of film is used for both left and right images, you only get half the resolution of a typical 35mm film.
The 3-D version of the film on the blu-ray is amazing, though. There's a little more grain than I'd like during some scenes, but overall it's a great example of the kind of cheesy 3-D schlock that the 80s can be counted on to provide. While watching, you can tell the filmmakers just wanted to have fun with the format, compared to the mild and boring 3-D on most releases in the last couple years. Jaws 3-D was meant to be seen in 3-D, and only in 3-D.
I think one of the better uses of 3-D I've seen from the modern 3-D revival was in the Fright Night remake from a few years back. You could tell they were having fun with it, too.

I actually saw Jaws 3-D theatrically when it came out. I was 12 and still have the 3D glasses! The 3D effects were glorious on the big screen.
