Why is this movie so legendary ?!

Rating: 6/10 (14 October 2016)

1975. must have been really lousy year for Hollywood. I mean, what kind of crap was filmed that year if this one was nominated for Oscar ?! OK, movie isn't bad, but it's nothing special and definitely not Academy Award material. I had no trouble to watch it till the end, it's not that awful, but at any moment I could easily stop it and walk away never wondering how it ends...
I wouldn't give it even 6/10 if it were not for scenes eye to eye with a shark. If those were even bit worse done I would definitely give up the movie before it ended.
