Summary: Jaws + Frankenstein
Review: On the surface, Deep Blue Sea is a fair successor to Jaws. The action is intense enough to keep the viewer guessing, and it's abrupt enough to keep your eyes riveted to the screen. However, logic fails often along the way (for instance, when considering the ease with which the sharks navigate the shallow waters of the lab) and the deaths -- including the alleged shocker in the penultimate scene -- were fairly predictable. Worse yet, many of the computer-generated scenes of finny death were cartoon-like and therefore unconvincing. On the plus side, Saffron Burrows strips down to her undies. Deep Blue Sea is a fine way to pass an evening if you're looking for a surface-level thriller. Just don't expect much depth.

Summary: Even if you don't like rap, BUY IT!!!
Review: Star of the TV series In the House, and rap artist, LL Cool J plays the part of the cook for the underwater research center. His acting is good in this movie and he has a couple of humorous sceens. And don't worry, he does NOT do any singing in this movie.
All the other characters are great and the special effects are fantastic. YOU WILL NOT FIND ANOTHER MOVIE THAT HAS MORE REALISTIC SHARKS!!!
There were sceens that actually made me jump back in my chair, and I am not someone who ususally gets startled by a scary movie.

Summary: the Deep will keep you chasing throughout the movie!
Review: Simple enough, Deep Blue Sea is about "smart" sharks who starts to attack people. Of course there is a plot behind all this, but i will not spoil them here. This movie stars LL Cool J, Renny Harlin, Samuel L. Jackson, Saffron Burrows, and Thomas Jane. This movie is a non-strop thrilling ride. This movie will also give you a few laughs. If your a fan of Sharks, and underwater creature movies, or just love movies like I do, then I definitely recommend this movie. This movie also contains neat EXTRAs > Samuel L. Jackson and Director commentary, deleted scenes, stills gallery, filmographies, theatrical trailer and more! This movie is not a merry-go-round. Dive in and enjoy the movie :).

Summary: Underrated; Action filmmaking at its best
Review: Deep Blue Sea is one hell of a movie. I don't care how much criticism this underrated film has endured. It succeeds enormously in both presenting thrilling action sequences as well as developing characters, story, and plot. It's not just a glorified video game posing as a film. Firstly, the acting is top-notch. The hero and heroine, respectively, are played by indie actors Thomas Jane (Boogie Nights) and Saffron Burrows (Timecode) the latter of whom actually portrays a doctor, not just a beautiful woman impersonating one (where are you Denise Richards, ahem, The World Is Not Enough...). Samuel L. Jackson, LL Cool J, and Stellan Skarsgard leave lasting impresssions too as the crew members fending off hungry sharks on a floating research base. LL Cool J in particular has a charismatic and convincing screen presence. Not only is this film supported by a talented cast, but Deep Blue Sea also avoids cliche of horror/action flicks. The script successful ommitts any trace of romance among characters, or a villainous human character trying to con the rest of the group, and literally, you have no idea who will make it to the end...it's that unexpected. In turn, the Jaws influence is relatively non-existent. For a movie titled "Deep Blue Sea," the action director Renny Harlin generates is original. I never knew action filmmaking could be this inventive until I saw Deep Blue Sea. If people can sit and call trash like "XXX" "guilty fun" than most intelligent thinking people won't have a problem with calling an entertaining, well-helmed movie like Deep Blue Sea real genuine fun. A thrilling foray into the action genre.

Summary: I can't believe I watched the whole thing
Review: To call this film preposterous is to add a new definition to this word. To call it bad is to single out a film that Ed Wood would have been embarrased to make. Every movie requires a certain suspension of disbelief. I have accepted warp travel, pyrokinesis, and time travel more easily than the hokum of this film. The sharks are ridiculous, the plot preposterous beyond belief, the setting asinine, and I found myself cheering, actually cheering, when Samuel L. Jackson, a world-class actor, was eaten by the shark JUST SO HIS CHARACTER WOULD SHUT UP! The dialog is beyond painful to nauseating. The special effects are laughable. I have never been so upset spending money on a film in my life. If you value your pocket book, your latest meal, and your belief that movies can tell a decent story, do NOT buy this film. You have been warned.

Summary: Use this film as shark bait
Review: Horrible. The only good thing about this film is that it looks good. But the premise is ridiculous. Stupid story. Absurd action events. I can't believe I stayed in the theatre for the whole thing. Watch out! It's a genetically engineered super-strong genius shark! Don't waste your time with this one.

Summary: Bring me some sushi!
Review: Ok, what we have here is one of those underestimated action films. Yes, it has sharks in it but that doesn't make it comparable to Jaws. Jaws and Deep Blue Sea are quite different films, simply because the approach is different. Deep Blue Sea is about a group of scientists who work in a submarine research lab known as Aquatica, somewhere near the Mexico coast. Aquatica is usually filled with people, but during the weekends it is shut down. Not this weekend, though. The head scientists are in a hurry and they need to complete their most important experiement, which is to get a cure for Alzheimer and they claim they can get it from a protein that exists only in the brain of white sharks. So we stay with the skeleton crew only: the founder of the project (Samuel L. Jackson), the chief scientist (Saffron Burrows), the tough ex-con turned into the guy who feeds and takes care of the sharks (Thomas Jane), the wise neurologist (Stellan Skarsgard), the systems engineer (Michael Rapaport), the radio woman (Aida Turturro), the executive officer nurse (Jacqueline McKenzie) and the cook (LL Cool J). They work hard all Friday to get their sharks ready for testing on Saturday night. We're talking about genetically engineered sharks, giant sharks with bigger brains so the scientists can get a larger amount of the protein they need. But they don't count on the sharks getting more intelligent than they expected. And the sharks are not interested on helping out the scientists, what they want is to get free, to get out of the cages they keep them in and escape into the deep blue sea. So in a really freaky accident, the sharks get loose, they get out of their cages and swim around the flooded Aquatica. And while the whole lab is sinking, the skeleton crew has less and less space to move and what's worse, the sharks take over more and more territory. These guys need a way out, but not all of them are going to make it and even if they do make it, they also need to kill the sharks before they can escape and reproduce. Now you're in for a gory adventure, and if that's your thing, you sure are going to love this movie. All actors are great in their roles, especially watch out for Rapaport as the nerdy tech guy and Thomas Jane as the ex-con. I know Renny Harlin is the responsible for some lousy movies (Cutthroat Island, Long Kiss Goodnight) but he has been involved in great action movies as well, such as Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger. If those two are your idea of a good action/adventure film, you might as well check this one out. The DVD was released in 1999 so it's not as good as the ones that are released these days, but it is fairly good for its time. Deleted scenes, featurettes, et al. Also, if you're a movie buff, you're in for a treat with Trevor Rabin's score! Just keep in mind this movie might not be very realistic, but it's entertainment. If you're looking for realism, look somewhere else; if you're looking for fun... then Aquatica is your kind of place!

Summary: Fake, cheap, and just pain pathetic. Watch Jaws instead!
Review: I remember when this flick was released in theaters and how I wanted to go see it so bad and never got to go. But I did rent it when it came out on home video and I'm glad I didn't go see it at the theaters. Why? Because it stunk! It was a huge disappointment. The sharks in the movie look so fake, infact, faker than the Great White shark in the movie Jaws, which was a heck of a better movie than this one. Jaws was a much better movie than this! However, gore hounds might get a kick out of it. It is definetly bloody but I could really care less. A movie needs more than just blood & guts to make it a winner. And this was not a winner. The sharks in this movie look a lot like a cartoon or something. The acting is poor. The plot is stupid. And this movie is a dud! If you want a good shark movie, then watch Jaws or something. But avoid this.

Summary: awsome movie...awsome DVD features
Review: this is not your typical shark movie.
these sharks, 3 mako sharks are genetically enhanced to produce a certain chemical to help cure alzhemiers disease, but there's only one problem. the shark's got smarter.
this movie is similar in it's message. don't mess with mother nature. just like the dinosaurs came back to kill in Jurassic Park, the sharks come back to kill in Deep Blue Sea.
awsome movie with some great actions scenes and very suspensful scenes. DVD features include behind the scenes and the making of Deep Blue Sea. this includes live footage with actual sharks, and the making of the mako sharks, tanks, Aquatica, interviews with all of the characters, and much much more. the best part of this movie, is that you have absoulelty no idea who is going to die. just because the movie had LL Cool J and Samuel Jackson, doesn't mean that they are going to make it out alive. this isn't your typical cheesey movie where the main characters or big named actors live, it's pretty surprising what happens in this movie. you have to watch it so see what i am saying.
some scenes of the sharks are computer generated, but some of the scenes aren't. they actually built an entire shark that could swim and move on it's own. pretty cool. awsome movie, great surprises, and awsome death scenes. tons of blood, people getting bitten in half, just awsome.
and then to top that off, LL Cool J's awsome theme song comes out in the end..."My hat is like a shark's fin." only problem with Deep Blue Sea is the ending, which is a total rip off from the 1st Jaws. but other than that, great movie. awsome movie.

Summary: deepest !bluest! my hand is like a shark's fin!!
Review: Sharks eating people. How can I lie? This is exactly what 90% of the movie is about. However, some how the director pulled it off in an intriguing and unexpected way. This isn't your average Jaws movie. There ain't no music to tell you when it's coming! It just comes! and yes there are times when you'll jump in your seat. This movie is full of irony. There are many surprises. One major surprise, LL cool J makes it!Can you believe it! Finally we are not the first to get messed up on screen. Yeah baby. You gotta see this movie. Don't forget to sing along to LL cool J's theme song at the end!
