The third film in the series follows a group of marine biologists as they attempt to capture a young great white shark that strays into SeaWorld Park in Florida. However, it later emerged that the shark’s 35-foot-tall mother was also a SeaWorld guest. What follows is the serious damage caused by sharks to park visitors.

Movie review:
- Potential Kermode: **When in doubt – point the stick at the screen**
- These 3D adventures are a lot of fun. Whenever the plot slows down, the actor randomly picks up a long stick and points it at the camera.
- This movie is no exception. Whenever the plot moves slowly, a character points a long stick at the camera for no apparent reason.
- Dennis Quaid and Beth Armstrong do most of the stick pointing here – she needs a _strong arm_ to pick up random objects and point them at the camera as often as she does.
- – Potential Kermode
- r96sk: Yeah…not good. I do not like “Jaws 3-D” Still, as most people apparently do.
- The cast of Dennis Quaid and Beth Armstrong is actually pretty good, and none of the actors behind them are anything noteworthy but serve a purpose. I will say I didn’t like the plot, but only because it lacked anything worth watching – it was bad, but not terrible. People want more sharks, but I personally would say the same about the first two movies.
- The worst part of this 1983 film is the special effects, especially the one at the end. There’s also some poorly done green screen, and obviously, it’s a terrible cover. There’s no doubt that this film was made as a money grab, which is basically the only reason to make a 3D movie, but a money grab doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad movie; In my opinion, it’s not. This is simply too bad. The cover is really hilarious, though.
- CinemaSerf: Any fan of the original Jaws (1975), or even the sequel (1978), need not bother with this completely unrecognizable nonsense. Believe it or not, there is still a “Brody” – “Mac” (Dennis Quaid) who wants anything to do with the ocean. His previous death-defying experience did not deter him! Anyway, he works in a newly opened ocean world where a baby great white shark has found a way to eat a quick meal through a broken sea gate. But where is mom? She can’t go far! The baby shark was captured, but died quickly, as if the larger shark knew, and let’s just say she was severely restrained. Aside from some decent underwater photography and some talented people doing aquatic acting, it’s a terrible stain on the series’ reputation. The opening titles provide a clue as to the 3D effects, and I do remember sitting in the Odeon Theater in Glasgow, wearing cardboard glasses, wondering what all the fuss was about 40 years ago. Now I know – it was just a poorly constructed, poorly performed stunt that was both terrible and forgettable.
