The 3rd dimension is tepid


Jaws 3 (1983)

Directed by Joe Alves this second sequel in the shark franchise stars Dennis Quaid, Bess Armstrong and Lea Thompson. The eldest son of chief Brody is now working at a marine park which is menaced by a shark on it's opening weekend.

The plot for this film is fairly average with there being little to ender the characters to the viewer. An action film like this lives or dies on it's special effects and this film was part of the 80s revival of 3D, unfortunately the 3D technology does not age well and looks pretty horrid when watched in 2D. Moving to a high tech under water park certainly provided some scope for a decent film but saddly one was not delivered.

2/5
