Rating: Summary: "Feed the makers to Sharks, they tried to rip-off 'Jaws'"! Review: Let me get straight to the point.It's so amusing how theytry to make a big climatic scene at the end like Jaws, only to makethe biggest anti-climax in cenema history. I have never witnessed such terrible acting. The blonde guy speaks so quietly you can't hear a word that he says throughout the entire movie and he can't act to save himself from drowning. The computer generated sharks look real but they don't act it. They start to do totally unrealistic things. Everything together just makes a really bad movie LL Cool J shouldn't (well mabey should) give-up his day job to turn actor. He at least atempts to be humorous. The most frustrating thing about this movie is that the story could have been quite good. People are farming genetically modified sharks for medical reasons. That's about the only belivable part of the story. The farm is in the middle of an ocean, slap-bang in the center of a hurrican belt. That is just asking for trouble, and it comes. Oh, and the computer generated sharks are well done. For hardcore shark fanatics and LL Cool J fans only. Totall mindless garbage.
Rating: Summary: Shallow Blue Sea Review: The best part of this DVD was being able to watch the scenes that Renny Harlin cut, as he deemed that scenes that merely developed the characters were redundant to the plot. Big mistake. The animatronic Sharks were very good, but they didn't have to deliver any of the dreadfully corny dialogue. LLCoolJ put in a good performance, Samuel L Jackson (an excellent actor) should have read the script a little more closely before signing his contract, and even Michael Rapaport nearly had us convinced that he could outswim a shark. However, Saffron Burrows should stop trying to be Gwyneth Paltrow and Sigourney Weaver roled into one - she was totally unconvincing. Renny Harlin's commentary also revealed that he didn't want to make Burrow's character sympathetic in any way, unfortunately for Harlin, none of the characters really earned any sympathy at all. It's a shame that the rest of the movie didn't live up to the opening sequence, which was by far the best scene of the whole sorry film. It doesn't deserve a star rating at all.
Rating: Summary: Deep Blue Sea is GREAT Review: Well after i heard about another Shark movie I was almost not going to go see it. But I did and to my surprise it was a great if not one of the best Shark movies ever! Deep Blue Sea was not just about a shark killing a lot of people but, instead the scientists created the syrom or something the increased the brain size of the shark which then enabled it to be maybe 10 times as smart as any ordinary shark. I mean the sharks were swimming backwards. I would recomend this movie to anyone the first of all likes all of the old Jaws movies, and second for all of you people that like the real sci-fi stuff that makes you laugh. Thank you for your time and I hope that I have been helpful!
Rating: Summary: Deep Blue Sea Review: This is a Very Good Film. Great acting all round. Amazing Special effects. It makes jaws look like a yellow rubber duck floating in your bath. This is the first shark horror film I have ever seen. I have seen the Jaws films all of them, they are interesting but no cigar. This goes with on the shelf with the all time good horror, suspence and action films. Buy it.
Rating: Summary: Superb flick. Review: I've got a bone or 2 to pick with this film, even though its great, Deep Blue Sea has it's problems. Why did only 2 people live in the end? Why is there so many shark attacks? Why did they have to kill the cute birdie? Oh well. Welcome to Aquatica, home of the big, mean, smart, fast sharks. Unfortunately, there is a storm and the gang there find out that the sharks have broken out and are now looking for something to chew on! Who's gonna make it out? Who will kill those .... sharks? Not telling, you'll just have to sit back, scream and enjoy. 'Deep Blue Sea' is the best shark flick ever. See it!
Rating: Summary: TOTALLY BRAINLESS... BUT IT'S FUN ! Review: If you wanna some diversion, some movie to laugh a lot with no preocupation with acting, plot, etc, you'll enjoy this ride into a underwater lab where there are three genetically altered smart sharks! Very fun!
Rating: Summary: PURO ENTRETENIMENTO - SHEER ENTERTAINMENT ! Review: MAgnific ! renny Harlin did a fantastic action movie. The "bad guys" used were sharks, but this isn't the main factor: the fact is that this is a great action film! Thomas Jane is fantastic as the "action-hero" and if he keeps picking up his scripts with care from now on he can really turn into an action movie-star. Jackson is stunning, totally convincing, as an investiment rich man, even being in a short appearance. Some special effects are not so good, but in general they are. In the opening sequence, harlin gives somekind of tribute to "JAWS", mking it clear that he doesn't want to copy anything from that classic. I have only 2 complains: 1) Who the hell cast Saffrom Burrows for the main female role? She's awful, no acting at all, it seems like a robot; 2) The movie ends and I still don't know how one of the first sharks (shown in the opening sequence) escaped the complex, to be captured again by Jane's character (Carter)
Rating: Summary: Very enjoyable with twists! Review: I thought this was going to be really cheesy, but it was not that bad. It was a lot of fun to watch. If you are a fan of these types of movies then you must check it out.
Rating: Summary: Missing Much Review: The director's commentary on the DVD goes great leaps toward explaining what was intended in this movie. I do not feel that the characters were well developed. I did not feel sorry for them when attacked by the shark. Some of the deleted scens would have helped to understand the relationships between characters. The Computer Graphics were OK, but nothing stunning compared to movies of late. Basically, I feel that they should have tried harder. It could have been much more interesting.
Rating: Summary: Just another action movie Review: This is a bad action flick. The basic plot is they (scientists) try to cure Alzheimer's and other brain diseases. There is a serum in the shark's brain, but to make adequate amounts, they break some code of ethic (it is named in the movie, but it escapes my memory). Well, in the process of doing so, it makes the sharks smarter. It is a very run of the mill action movie, bringing little invention to the genre. It's a Jaws wannabe. One redeeming factor, however, is it will surprise you on who will live and who will die. During one scene, a character is making a good speech, and then WHAM! Everything JAWS tried, it succeeded. I've heard the sequels are terrible, but I haven't seen them.. But if you hold this against JAWS, this fails terribly. There is no suspense or terror in this movie as in JAWS. It saddens me that Jackson, a fine actor in his own right, was in this movie. He is also another redeeming factor in this movie. The cast does an alright job, bringing the script up a little - but still, a pretty dismal effort.
