Summary: Good Action Suspense Thriller
Review: In a lot of action thrillers, like say, Diehard, you have a pretty good idea of who will be standing at the end of the movie and who won't be. Ok, let's be honest, you know exactly who will be standing and who won't be. There's no way Bruce Willis dies in Diehard and there's no way the bad guys are gonna make it either.

In Deep Blue Sea, by the end of the movie, you won't have a clue as to who's going to be alive and who isn't. Nobody is sacred. If you can kill off Samuel L. Jackson within the first half of the movie, you can kill anybody! I certainly didn't expect LL Cool J to be standing given the cardinal rule about "brothers" in these types of flicks (they never make it).

Everything else, including the storyline was very good. The only part of the movie I didn't like was the beginning which I didn't really find very interesting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not as good as Jaws, but totally entertaining in its own!
Review: A movie that is jam-packed with stunning special effects, talented actors, and a wonderful mix of elemental storylines and twists in its plot. Deep Blue Sea begins with the quest of a scientist who wishes to find a cure for the disease Alzheimer's. The man who funds the project ventures out on a visit to the test center Aquatica, far off the coast of the United States in the Pacific. After the discovery that the process of extracting protein from the shark's brain is a success, a tropical storm bears down on the test station, and that's when the things begin to go wrong. The film contains a combination of elements from The Poseidon Adventure, Jurassic Park, and, of course, Jaws. The characters are believable, and the actors play them to perfection in the most heightened moments of the film. The special effects, with the exception of a few moments, are seamless, though scenes in which humans are devoured underwater tend to have a computerized look to them. Trevor Rabin, who composed the score for the 1998 asteroid flick Armageddon, has come up with a truly intense and terrifying theme for the sharks as well as a brilliant score to accompany the movie's many intense scenes which will have you holding your breath. The plot takes many twists and turns, and you may be thinking one thing while something totally different is going to happen. The DVD release of this movie is one of the best in my collection. The anamorphic widescreen format hosts brilliant colors and solid blacks and blues. The Dolby Digital soundtrack is masteredin 5.1 surround, but if your receiver is only Dolby Pro-Logic, don't fret: the sound is still tremendous. You can't even tell the difference, and you are able to hear each boom or scream. There are tons of special features on this DVD, including a theatrical trailer, two featurettes on the making of various projects, scenes that didn't make it to the final cut, and even audio commentary to accompany the film. If you need a film full of suspense and tension that will have you surprised at every point, then this movie is a must.

Summary: Deep Blue Sea kicked some serious
Review: This movie was one of the best shark movies I have seen!......Well...there really isn't that many shark movies though. But if you are a fan of special effects, then you come to the right place. Deep Blue Sea is by far the best special effects that I have seen since The Matrix and The Mummy.

Summary: AWSOME!
Review: This is my first R rated movie I saw and I loved it. This is a great movie to watch because it has one thing most horror movies don't have: a storyline. I highly recomend this movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Gag!
Review: This movie is soooo not worth seeing! It is not the least bit scary, the JAWS movies were WAY better than this! If your smart you won't waste your money on this!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: As big of a mistake as the sharks themselves horrid movie.
Review: The reason why Jaws was a cinimatic masterpeice is the simple fact that there was a powerful suspense to Jaws.But not just that you had to have patience to watch it because Steven Speilberg made you wait as long as he wanted you to to see the shark.Now here we are a quarter of a century later some mediocre director want's to try his hand at making his own Jaws.Instead of a penumatic shark movie magic has replaced it with digital effects to make well more violent scenes. Yes they still had to make there own sharks but a lot more relistic with todays advances in robotics and animatronics.

Our story begins with a woman telling her boss that she may have a cure to alzhimers , the answer lies in a sharks brain not just any sharks bio and genetically alterd sharks.

Then we go to a huge biological labratory it's purpose to genetically breed sharks to get , a chemical from the sharks brain to cure alzhimers .Succesufully we see that the scientist in this

movie actually achive it from these 50 foot man made mosters.This is a great start to a movie that could have been good.As Deep Blue Sea sadly turns into a pathetic gore fest the next hour of the movie is pointless and just trying to get cheap imitation Jaws thrills from the audience. It's a good thing that when people watch this when they have Dvd because people will want to slow his death down with slow motion incredible and pathetically fast.Saffron Burrow's and LL COOL J are the only things that make this movie worth seeing , they act suprisingly good for such a poor and down right horrid script and terrible movie.

The little Hbo docudrama is far more entertaining then the movie it self and the DVD is impressive.But all in all Renny Harlin should go back to film school if he thinks his film is a Jaws for the 90's and learn something from a very good masterpeice director like speilberg.This film stinks you just get it any better then Jaws.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Shallow Blue Sea but fun to watch
Review: This is a fun movie. I really enjoyed watching it and the special effects are great. DVD definately brings out the best in the film.

This is a great movie to watch when you aren't looking for anything too serious.

Although I am dissapointed that they didn't put LL Cool J's video on the DVD aswell. In this digital age and with the extra options they put on DVD disks you'd think they would use it for a better interactive experience for the viewer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: NEVER MIND THE SHARKS!
Review: Check out British supermodel Saffron Burrows as she tries to electro-cute the shark (and the audience)! AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH...! (God bless her!)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: this is just bad
Review: i am so glad i missed this at the cinema. the movies idea is a good one, finding a solution to mental deseases. but it soon loses the plot. the sfx are really bad and that is a shame as it could have been the movies saving grace. but so often it looks cgi, the sharks rarely move like real ones. many of the situations are unbelievable each one trying to top the next. really there is nothing new here. it is in many ways a jurassic park idea. i recommend renting it before buying. then you can make your own mind about the film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great DVD
Review: A not to be taken seriously movie but it's fun and entertaining. Great special effects and makes you jump in a few scenes. Good extras on the DVD
