By John Lindsey
Format:DVD
This is one of the three underwater sea critter flicks from 1989 with " Leviathan" and " The Abyss", it's about these underwater explorers who are in a research sea station under the water, exploring underwater caves then unleashing prehistoric gastropod monsters.
Actually a fair little Sci-fi movie with cool looking Crab monsters and Miguel Ferrer from " Robocop" in a little role.

Format:DVD
If you're looking for an old fashioned "Oh, crap, we woke up a monster!" movie with all the pluses, this is for you!
Excellent special effects and GREAT characterizations (Ferrar steals the show as the wimp you love to hate), it's well worth the price and the time you'll spend watching it.
The gore is limited, so it's great for a family night of popcorn with the teens, and much better than most would lead you to think.
The only downside is that it isn't in widescreen, but it's still a sleeper classic.

Format:DVD
The story begins in an underwater facility, roughly two miles beneath the ocean. Not far from the facility, and the small crew operating it, a monstrous crab-like creature resides undisturbed in its cave, but when some missels from the facility are unintentionally launched into the ocean and detonated, the angry creature is forced from its home and is out for blood! Needless to say chaos follows, and the creature eventually finds its way into the very facility responsible for the launch!
I don't want to give away what happens after that, but aside from this movie's obvious low-budget, it does deliver some pretty good thrills, and humerous moments, though the humerous ones were probably unintentional.
All in all, I'd say Deepstar Six is worth a look at on a rainy day, or if there's nothing better on t.v. This DVD looks no better than vhs, it comes with no extra features, and its in fullscreen! So there isn't really any reason to buy this one. I'd sooner buy Leviathan, which is a much better movie, and a nicer DVD.

Wrong format
I asked for the 2007 widescreen release of this film and you sent me the old 2001 release that is fullscreen I hate fullscreen. This is why I ordered this one. Read more

Dreadful
Ah, the only movie I have ever hated SO much that when it was revealed that the lead female character was pregnant, I rooted for the monster to eat the fetus. Read more

This movie escaped, it was not released!
OK, read the other reviews for the story synopsis and get the real rating here. I did give this movie 3 stars for effort. It just did not cut it. Read more

DeepStar Six
This movie is a copy of such films as Leviathan and The Abyss. It is entertaining but lacks the true suspense and quality effects found in The Abyss. Read more

Fun movie but so so DVD
Deep Star Six is a fun monster movie. I am really surprised that it got a DVD release. Too bad the DVD is not up to the high standard. Read more

Guilty-pleasure movie. Silly but fun.
This, like "Leviathan" released the same year, is kind of a silly knock-off of "The Abyss" with a touch of "Alien" thrown in. Read more

WoW! Horror that Grips you and Leaves you Breathless.
This horror show is gripping! So gripping it leaves you breathless. I highly recommend seeing this movie. The acting was very good and the creature wasn't too bad.

Misguided premise deepsixes DeepStar
DeepStar Six would have been better served had it simply tried to go the way of an Irwin Allen style disaster flick instead of the monster movie route, ala 'Alien' and 'The Thing'. Read more

A great midnite horror flick!
It's a shame that "Deep Star Six" is out of print in the U.S. video mainstream; I'd purchase it in a second if it were! Read more
