Summary: Great suspense and action sequences
Review: Deep Rising might not be a classic horror/action movie along with others such as Jaws or The Sixth Sense, but it's still a good movie. Really, it's more of a B-movie than a regular blockbuster. It's about some hijackers that board a rich cruise ship hoping to find some jewelry, but they soon find out that some mysterious monster has killed most of the passengers. The two groups of people eventually have to join forces once they all see the monster and know that it's what's making all the other people disappear mysteriously. The constructor of the cruise ship is also on board and helps everybody by telling them which way they need to go to escape from the octopus. Deep Rising is one of the best B-movies to come out in a long time. The suspense is the best part of it and the special effects are also good. Unlike many movies, when you finally get to see the monster up close, it's not a disappointment. Joey is hilarious and gives the movie a comedy twist that makes it even better. All the way from the first sign of the monster to the end sequence where Treat Williams and Famke Jennsen have to ride a jet ski to get away from the monstrous explosions of the ship, Deep Rising is non-stop action and suspense. If you like horror/action movies with a lot of suspense and non-stop action sequences, give Deep Rising a chance.

Summary: A GREAT B-MOVIE!
Review: I just get a kick out of this movie! It's loads of fun with lots of gunfire, gooey special effects, monsters galore, and explosions. If your expecting "Citizen Kane" then rent something else. If you want to be entertained without having to think for one hour and forty five minutes then this is the perfect film for you. Treat Williams, Kevin J. O'Connor, Wes Studi, and Famke Janssen make up a great cast. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the gigantic pot hole involving the character Pantucci and his girlfriend. Other than that, enjoy!

Summary: This movie really scared me
Review: When I watch a monster/horror movies I want to be scared. This movie does just that. It's not the most original story but it is great fun to watch. It builds the tension from the very first and gets scarier and more gory as the story progresses. You really have no idea what the monster really is until the classic scene where the hero confronts it. The special effects are excellent(expected) and original(rare). The movie is visually beautiful and the soundtrack is very good. I would like to have seen more development of the love interest between the two characters but that is not the reason you see a movie like this. Shakespere in Love this is not. This is a very fun movie with no redeeming value and there is nothing wrong with that.

Summary: "CREATURE FEATURE" FAN HUGELY DISSAPOINTED
Review: I am a massive fan of monster/creature movies, therefore, I really looked forward to seeing this movie. However, when the end credits finally scrolled, I can only describe myself as being dissapointed. Sure the effects were okay (but did still seem a bit computer generated) and the movie does offer its fair share of gore; I even liked the idea behind the story 'prehistoric sea creature attacks ocean liner'. But I really didn't like the script, it was just too corny, the acting is unconvincing and the movie didn't build enough suspense. It would have been much better had the film concentrated more on the creature attacking the ship rather than the annoying rag tag bunch of crims that make up the film's cast. Still the movie is fairly enjoyable for a one off viewing but I definately reccommend renting before you buy.

Summary: QUITE BORING
Review: I have this DVD and the last time I watched it was well over a year ago. Every set looks the same as the last and it's just so dull. It should have been gorier and milked it's hardly original concept for all it's worth. The dialogue simply stinks too. Jerry Goldsmith's music is below par also which is strange for him. All you get on this non-anamorphic DVD is a trailer. Watch out for Sommers' next movie "The Mummy" it's also garbage. Some nice effects though.

Summary: It's Peter Benchley's Beastly Poseidon Adventure
Review: I love monster movies and I loved this movie from the moment I saw it. DEEP RISING benefits from an excellent Jerry Goldsmith score and a really icky (albeit obvious CGI) monster designed by the legendary Rob Bottin (the creator of John Carpenter's THE THING). Also the humor actually works for a change and did not irritate or distract me with mood destroying kamp komedy. Sommers also nicely satirizes the cliched sequel set-up ending. Its just a dumb fun monster movie, the best mega-budget piece of schlock Roger Corman never made.

Summary: Not that bad...
Review: I know what you are thinking. "What! " "Three stars? " "Are you nuts! " Well, some gave it five which is really overreaching a bit. This is a fun film if you like monster movies. Not as terrible as I thought it would be. Sure it suffers from the routine "Alien" plot rip-off to a vast degree as it chronicles a bunch of armed-to-the-teeth mercenaries who raid a wealthy cruise liner only to get a lot more than they bargained for. The whole ship is dang near empty! It's worth a rental to find out why. But one has to admire this sort of genre to a point of course. I wouldn't recommend this to the average moviegoer but I liked it and that's enough for me.

Summary: Princess
Review: An excellent and humorous monster-adventure-mystery-thriller for someone seeking sheer wild and exciting entertainment value. So exciting that it is easy to forget that the "monster" is a cross between an octopus and the "Audrey II" from Little Shop of Horrors. The destruction of the cruise ship is a magnificent visual effect, the bad guys are appropriately disposed of and the ending is refreshingly unpredictable. Performances by all cast members were fantastic.

Summary: THE COOLEST HORROR / ACTION MOVIE EVER
Review: Beat this Deep Blue Sea! This movie was the coolest movie I've seen since ID4. I was surprised by Treat William, and how cool he was despite the fact that he hasn't been in a big time action movie. The special effects are enough to keep you watch. It's neat to watch these monster sliding down the hallway of a 'Titanic size ship. The plot isn't close to being complicated which is why this movie was called a B-grade film, but it is very entertaining and that is what a movie is surpose to be. I've considered myself as a pretty taugh guy when it comes to horror movies but I found myself asking the TV to skipe to the next scene, but in this movie the next scene wasn't any prettier. If you just sitting around with nothing to do then you should go out and rent this.
