Summary: Deep Blue Sea DVD Review: It's no jaws but it's pretty good
Review: I can still remember when "JAWS" was released and each movie I was scared as hell. I swore that I hate sharks and even though I surf, I still don't like going far deep because of my fear of sharks.It has been 25 years later and "DEEP BLUE SEA" has been released. I wanted and I didn't want to see the movie because sharks scare me. Even hearing the ghost shark stories in Hawaii...scary! The colors were cool and the 5.1 sound is very nice. I guess what was most shocking is who lived and who got killed. Some scenes were well done and a good shock value especially the Samuel L. Jackson scene. They did a good job with this film and to make the sharks terrifying was made believable by the hard work they put into this movie. You can see the work in the filmography. The documentary was very insightful with the director and Samuel L. Jackson giving their commentary on the movie. All in all this movie will freak you out, scare you and for a group of not-so-popular actors (aside from Samuel L. Jackson), they did a good job including LL Cool J. If you have a craving for another cool shark movie, "Deep Blue Sea" would be perfect for you.

Summary: Deep Blue Sea: When Will the Shark Cook Dinner?
Review: Deep Blue Sea is just plain awful. Borrowing themes, scenes from other movies, what are we to make of this movie? I think it works as a comedy, for it didn't scare me and wouldn't scare a five year old. The big problem you would think would be its strength: the special effects. In Jaws we rarely see the shark, a good device to build suspense. Take the first night attack scene in Jaws(one of the most frieghtening in history) and compare it to the "scarey" scenes in Deep Blue Sea and Jaws is a work of art compared to this trashy sea-slug. The digital sharks look phony, and more so the more we see of them. The actors save one woodenly sleep-walk, wading waist-deep in a poor scripted downer. The only actor that was entertaining to me was L.L.Cool J, funny and real as the cook, and when these sharks with "human intelligence" get him in the stove and turn the control knobs to try to roast him alive, all credibility was lost, as I giggled to the preposterous end. L.L.Cool J. hopefully will be given more movies, for he has real charm, and somehow you feel, while watching him in Deep Blue Sea, that he is not taking this mess too seriously and I suggest viewers follow suit, buy Jaws and see how real terror of sharks began in the cinema.

Summary: Superb Horror and action flick!!!!
Review: This is a great movie. When I first saw it, I thought it was dumb. But after thinking it over, it turned out to be one of the best scary movies around. It's about these Rescearchers in this underwater lab that are studying a cure for alzheimer's disease. How they do it is they mess with the sharks' brains and put a serum in it which makes them more big and smarter and also more agressive. After that all heck breaks loose. I don't wanna tell you any more, you will just have to buy it and see it for yourself. Buy it!!!

Summary: Just when you thought it was safe...
Review: Renny Harlin brings us another in a long line of really bad action/adventure movies (Remeber, the man is responsible for "Cut Throat Island") and while "Deep Blue Sea" isn't nearly as bad as "Die Hard 2" there's little redeeming value here. The plot centers on a floating research lab (formerly a U.S. Navy submarine re-supplying station) in the middle of the Pacific. While trying to find a cure for Alzheimers disease, the scientists have created super-smart sharks in order to harvest chemicals from their brain stems. Let's see how many Jaws rip-offs/horror movie cliche's we can pack into the first 15 minutes? Well, one of the sharks escapes and attacks ("this was no boating accident") two couples out for a sail before a very Quint like shark wrangler saves the day with some tranquilizers. The mad scientist (She has to die, it's her fault, call it the poetic justice rule of horror films) begs to be allowed to complete her work despite the danger to human life. The crew of the research station heads to shore. ("We run a skeleton crew on the weekends.") Suffice to say, that later, as Sam Jackson's character delivers a diatribe on the nature of survival, you pretty much know he's going to end up as chum. What else...Well, according to this film, you can keep a zippo lighter underwater for about half an hour yet have no trouble at all getting it to light. Nearly an hour after the expository lines on the former Navy station, we're treated to an underwater shot complete with a sunken submarine, if you weren't paying attention you might wonder why it's there. In the spirit of Joe Bob Brigs, awards for quality performances go to Sam Jackson on being lost in an avalanche, "Ice is a powerful thing, but it's nothing compared to a man." Saffron Burrows as the mad scientist, "it may be super smart, but it's still just an animal. Come to Mama." L.L. Cool J on revenge, "You ate my bird!" and Michael Rappaport as the Shark is being lifted into the station for research, "Anyone order the fish?" There's nothing here that you haven't seen in better movies before.

Summary: NO COMPROMISES - It's just funny and brainless
Review: Watch this movie without prejudice and taking in consideration that is not a artistic movie, and you'll have a good time.

Summary: Great action movie!!!
Review: This movie is great. It centers around genetically engineered sharks. When the sharks rebel, all hell breaks loose. The shark gets free, causing the gruesome death of crew member after crew member. It will keep you interested the whole time, and hey, Samuel L. Jackson's in it, so it can't be all bad, right? Just an excellent action-packed thrillride.

Summary: Deep Blue Sea... one of the best DVDs I have ever witnessed!
Review: Where should I start, well I guess the story and characters, and all that mumbo jumbo should be left alone. Let's talk about the DVD itself. The picture quality is near reference quality; only some minor film grain make it somewhat "inferior" to reference discs. The sound; well, this is more troublesome. Why? because it's low in dialouge scenes, yet way too loud in the action scenes and the so-called "Shark Attack" scenes. Then again, the dialouge is so cliche-ridden (except for some very juicy twists), the sound IS reference quality after all! Anyhow, to the extras. What can I say, they are mixed bags. The documentaries are OK, but just OK. Don't get me wrong, they offered good insights into filmmaking (the film that is), how they created the lackluster CGI sharks, and their far superior counterparts, and they do offer some brief, but good, behind-the-scenes production footage. The still gallery is also just OK, even though it does contain nice set and production photographs. The deleted scenes are actually somewhat interesting, yet the picture quality is so bad, you can hardly see what's going on in the scene; in total, there are about maybe 15 minutes of deleted footage in these scenes cut from the final cut; check them out they prove to be, suprisingly, very much worth your time. OK, here's were we're getting to the really "Sink Your Teeth Into Special Features" the disc somewhat tantalizes you with. First of all is the Star/Director commentary provided; It's highly entertaining and hardly dry or boring. In the director's side, Renny Harlin provides the viewer with Visual FX information, some casting insights, he tells us the little twists he put into the film, and some production information. Samuel L. Jackson on the other hand, talks about HIS character most of the time in the commentary, ironic isn't it. Now we get to what I think is the best supplement, the film's theatrical trailer. Sure, you might think "What the Heck are you saying," but it's true, this trailer provides everything about the film and never gives away the plot, most of the time; and in traditional "Hollywood Action Films", or should I say in traditional "Jerry Bruckheimer Action Films", the film's "intense" sequences are played in hectic fast motion. Did I mention the music in the trailer fits the film perfectly, almost as good as the score fit in the faboulous Ever After trailer(no, not the film, the way the film eas shown in the trailer!). Oh yeah, one more thing, Amazon.com., I think you didn't quite tell the thruth when you wrote in your "Edition Details" box, that production notes were included. As for the filmmographies, I honestly don't find a purpose for them to be included in DVDs, unless you're going to put an easter egg or make up the bios of the cast and crew, ala The Limey DVD.

Summary: Better than 'Jaws'
Review: I dont believe it, everyone said Jaws was a masterpiece. Now here, you have a great film. Deep Blue Sea is the only shark film that had me hooked the whole way through, and had me scared and shakin' in my boots. It is simply the best shark movie of all time, no question. The special effects are ingenius, the acting is great, the sharks are scary as ever, and the cinematography is perfect. However, too many people die. I think that maybe more than 2 could of survived in the end. Anyway, that's my thoughts on Deep Blue Sea. Hope you liked my review and found it helpful!

Summary: Don't expect a clever battle.......
Review: Anyone who watches this movie will ultimately compare it to Jaws. Given this, you would expect a better film since Jaws is a whole generation old. Unfortunately this is not a better movie. I wanted to enjoy Deep Blue Sea, but couldn't get involved enough. The character development is near non-existent, the sharks while beautifully presented do not come across as clever (as they did in Jaws) and the plot is simple. With the success of Jaws, the director presented himself with a huge challenge with DBS and unfortunately failed. What I believe we, the viewer, would like to see is a clever battle between man and beast including characters well developed (remember those in Jaws?). The plot was too simple (go from A to B via X obstacles). The biggest bonus was the extra features on DVD - while we are in this transition phase (VHS to DVD) it seems that extra features are exactly that - extra. Anyone who includes them should be applauded to give incentive to others. My advice would be that you watch this movie before buying.
