Shark Week-25th Anniversary [Blu-ray]

A must see!

My son loves sharks---I got this for him---I know its awesome but there is no way in 'the hot place' that Mom is gonna watch this. Um, no thank you!!!

If you have never seen any of the episodes on this disk then go ahead and buy this as all the episodes are very good. The problem (as others here have mentioned) is that 3 of the 4 episodes were already published on previous DVDs. Here are the episodes: Blood in The Water - this episode is about the shark that terrorized the New Jersey area in 1916. There were several fatal attacks in Matawan Creek and the surrounding area which most people believe was caused by a great white shark. This true story became the basis for the movie JAWS. Ultimate Air Jaws - this episode has lots of video showing great white sharks jumping high in the air while going after either real or decoy seals. Chris Fallows, the photographer and shark reseacher, takes lots of risk to film these sharks jumping high out of the water. Mythbusters Shark Special - a mostly silly but interesting look at some myths about sharks. Do magnets act as an effective deterrent for keeping sharks away? How easy is it to poke a shark in the eyes to stop an attack? They build a pretty nice robo shark to test this idea. Great White Shark: Uncaged - this is the only new episode. Shows a group of divers determined to swim with sharks without the safety of being in a shark cage. Does it seem like they are taking unneeded risk and putting people's lives at risk? Yes, but it is fun to watch from the safety of your living room. This was my favorite episode.

Awesome movie! It was so good, I bought a copy for a friend for Christmas! I purchased the blu-ray because I live in Germany and unfortunately Shark Week is not aired here!

Meh. The only real piece of new info for me was that they were taking dna samples from fins to use for proof against poachers of shark fins who might try to get away with saying the shark fin was from a non-protected species. The mythbusters part was funny testing out their giant shark trying to see if they could find the eyes during a simulated attack. I guess having studied sharks so much I was really hoping for way more. I love great white sharks, but there are so many different species that are just as worthy of documentaries too. Greenland sharks are so prehistoric looking and how crazy the Thresher sharks look, and a porbeagle?! I want to see more oceanic whitetips and makos and blue sharks. The last good doc I saw that heavily featured blue sharks was the one Ron and Valerie Taylor made testing out the chainmail suits with them. Shark week has become more of a monster truck jam and i would love to see it go back to featuring good content and actual new knowledge about all sharks.

This was a birthday gift for my cousin.She's really into sharks and she loved this DVD. It was a perfect gift for her.

It doesn't get any better than this shark movie. It changed everyone who went to the show 25 years ago. I happen to have a grandson who is really into sharks. He loved this gift. It's good to be the Grandmother.

Purchased as a gift for my daughter and son in law who are crazy about shark week
