Product Description

From Amazon.com

With a voracious trio of mako sharks wreaking havoc, Deep Blue Sea dares to up the ante on Jaws, but director Renny Harlin trades the nuanced suspense of Spielberg's 1975 blockbuster for the trickery of the digital age. In other words, why build genuine terror when you can show ill-fated humans getting torn into bloody chunks? The aforementioned makos have been lab rats in an effort to harvest a miracle cure for Alzheimer's disease from the brains of sharks, but the research has an unfortunate side effect: the sharks get smarter, and they're determined to break out of Aquatica, the deep-sea complex where they've been penned.

Model-actress Saffron Burrows plays the researcher; Thomas Jane pulls double-duty as shark expert and action hunk; Samuel L. Jackson's the corporate sponsor who chooses the worst time for an Aquatica tour; and rapper LL Cool J is nicely cast as Aquatica's cook and comic relief. Michael Rapaport, Jacqueline McKenzie, and Stellan Skarsgård round out the cast, most of whom are turned into shark food as the makos turn Aquatica into a floating junkyard. Harlin takes devilish pleasure in providing sudden, unexpected shocks--no small feat in such a derivative thriller--and as a series of action set-pieces, Deep Blue Sea never disappoints. It's inevitable that Burrows should end up in her underwear like Sigourney Weaver in Alien, but even then the movie offers a credible reason for the strip-down; that Deep Blue Sea can be simultaneously ridiculous and sensible is just another one of its shlocky charms. --Jeff Shannon

4.0 out of 5 stars No Jaws, in a class of its own, Jun 13 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Deep Blue Sea (Widescreen) (DVD)
Deep Blue Sea is one of those new millenium type shark movies.
Little character, big action- lots of CGI monsters and guts.
But don't get me wrong, its all good, well, mostly.
The acting from the main cast (Saffron Burrows, Thomas Jane, LL Cool J, Samuel L Jackson) is reasonable enough for this type of movie.
The effects are mid-range. Absolutely awesome robotics is hindered by poorly crafted CGI sharks.
Explosions and debris abound, all well presented and created.
Some 'shocking' deaths of important characters when they shouldn't have, stunted people's ideas and viewing pleasure, but had some very good action sequences, example the shark attacks in the elevator shaft and Burrows' bedroom.
Relatively well done directing from Renny Harlin, okay script-with some good emotional and comedic moments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Shark Movie!!!!, Jun 11 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Deep Blue Sea (Widescreen) (DVD)
I really liked this movie!It is one of my favorite movies!You dont have to worry about renting it,just go ahead and buy it.You wont be sorry!It has lots of blood,gore,action,and great effects.Its about some scientest and shark experts doing tests on 3 huge sharks.But the tests are making the sharks meaner and smarter.Now the sharks are flooding the building(its in the middle of the ocean)and eating the people one by one.A very great movie to see.Youll want to watch it over and over.It is so cool!
