Summary: Original and Unpredictable
Review: This DVD bears no comparison to "Jaws", except for having sharks in it. Whereas Brody tricked the shark into eating the compressed air tank in "Jaws", the three sharks in "Deep Blue Sea" actually flee from the sight of a shotgun. Furthermore, you could pretty much guess who would make it out alive and who wouldn't, but your guess would be wrong. There are many welcome surprises to the action/survival cliche. Watch for what happens when Jackson gives the regular pep talk to motivate everyone. Think that the chicks would survive, no doubt? Think again.

Summary: Sharks go to college
Review: While this film is not based on the original "Jaws" film, and even tough it might borrow a few dramatic excerpts from it, the thought of enhancing a shark's intelligence to gain materials which will advance the cause of modern medicine does present us with a new perspective. While the movies "Jaws" and "Orca" created their drama using the involvment of the male and female relationship between these species, and did so with quite good effect, it seems that the idea of a society of sharks with superior intellect takes this one step further. In the movie "Jaws" and in the movie "Orca" the conflict was very viable as we came to see the shark and Orca personified. In "Deep Blue Sea" the story turns into one of survival of the best of the species. And, what most seperates this film from the films of "Jaws" and "Orca" is that these sharks have an agenda, an intelligent agenda. This film starts out and grabs you, takes you in, and doesn't give you much time to think before it moves into some excellent action scenes. The soundtrack is excellent, the acting balanced, and the direction is well done. This may never be a classic, but it certainly hinted of more things than the film makers brought out in their final presentation. But, for that, and the possibilities left behind. I would have to give it four stars for almost getting there.

Summary: Jaws 2000 has arrived!
Review: I heard about this movie way back in 1998 and I was dying to see it. A year later it was released over here and me and my friends went to see it. It is one of the best Horror/Sci-fi Thrillers I have ever seen. It has everything you need to keep audiences on the edge of their seats and more. It has jumps. gore, great acting and the story twists so much you don't know who is gonna get it next. This is a superb movie that i would recommend to all!

Summary: The best shark movie since JAWS !
Review: What another shark movie? After four "Jaws" movies, we thought it was safe to go back in the water. Well this could be the movie that makes sharks scary again. "Cliffhanger" and "Die Hard II" director Renny Harlin takes us to a top secret lab where a group of scientists are trying to harvest a "miracle serum" and save humanity from Alzheimer's. The only trick is that they have to extract it from a shark's brain. Ok, the plot is ludicrous at best but how it's pulled off is quite a ride. Echoing "Jaws", "Aliens" and "Jurassic Park", Harlin's thrilling disaster movie with sharks really gets the adrenaline pumping and never looks back. The only question you ask yourself is "Ok, who's gonna make it?" and that's all you need to be captivated. The visuals in this film make every "Jaws" movie look like the shark I used to play with in my bathtub. These sharks are phenomenal. A standout performance has to be the new heroic portrayal of shark-wrangler "Carter Blake" played by newcomer Thomas James. A cross between Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford, James delivers us a hero not seen since "Indiana Jones" last jumped across the screen. The type of hero we like to jump out of our seats and cheer for. As for the rest of the cast they sum up like this. Saffron Burrows plays the head scientist who thinks of nothing but her career even if half the people are dead. Next, we have LL Cool J's preaching cook who is there for comic relief. And finally we have billionaire Russell Franklin who wants to shut the place down if the cure isn't harvested during his visit. But put these aside and the rest of the cast are never explored and should we say "lunch".

Summary: Hammy horror
Review: I went to see this movie with my best friend. To us it sounded like a remake of "Jaws". But when we saw the movie, we realized how wrong we were about that. To both of us "Deep blue sea" was a VERY black comedy, unlike Jaws. We both knew about how the special effects were made but that didn't affect our opininon on the movie. If you like to laugh at inappropriate times, or watch people getting ripped apart by sharks, then this is the movie for you.

Summary: A Truly Thrilling, Unsettling Horror Film
Review: This film would make an ideal pairing with _Lake Placid_, since both of them deal with our primal fear of the water and of being eaten by something larger than we are. In this film, however, the emphasis is placed on action and suspense, with relatively few moments in which to catch your breath. This is a very intense, suspenseful film, with numerous shocks and surprises. It's nice to see director Harlin (_Cliffhanger_, _The Long Kiss Goodnight_) back with the sort of film he does best, after such flops as _Cutthroat Island_. The effects work is top-notch, with several very gruesome, gory deaths, caused by the swift-moving sharks. Another plus in the film's favor is that it appears that everyone is fair game-there are no certain survivors among the film's cast. Anyone may be attacked and eaten at any given moment. There's little in the way of comic relief in the film, although the character played by LL Cool J does add some humor, as he bemoans his fate (to be stranded in a sinking research facility) and makes various deals with God to pull him through successfully. Other than Samuel L. Jackson and the recognizable face of Swedish actor Skarsgard (_Ronin_, _Good Will Hunting_), most of the cast is made up of unknowns, with Jane in the lead role. Before this, he'd mainly limited himself to smaller, avant-garde productions, but here makes a convincing action hero lead. Sort of a pseudo-update of _Jaws_, _Deep Blue Sea_ proves there's still a lot of potential in films featuring man-eating sharks. This film is strongly recommended to those looking for something to get their pulses racing.

Summary: WAY OVER-RATED!
Review: This movie was not action packed like it says. It is about some sharks that all of a sudden get "smart". I dont know if it seemed to short or to long but they atmosphere never changes. The reason I gave it 2 stars is because of the actors and it showed alot of graphic material. I would not reccommend buying this movie.

Summary: MAKES JAWS LOOK LIKE FLIPPER!
Review: Great movie, especially if you are a shark lover or like shark topic movies, shows, etc. i thought the effects were great, although i think they could have done a better job with the samuel jackson scene. that looked a little fake. but i thought it was great. i wonder how much jaws would have been with all of the technology nowadays. wonder if spielberg would consider remaking jaws now with computers and new tech. how about a mega shark, some huge 50 ft prehistoric monster shark that returns from the abyss due to an underwater earthqake in search of food! anyway, deep blue sea is the first quality good monster movie since jaws.

Summary: What an awful movie!
Review: I can't understand why this movie has a 3 1/4 star rating. What movie did the people who reviewed it really watch? The script was awful and could have been written better by a highschool kid. The special effects were that of a 32 bit video game. I am glad I rented two video's and received this one free or else I'd want my money back! Oh yeah, the ending was increadibly stupid!
