This is true but that doesn't mean it was a great movie. The effects were just simply great, especially for a shark movie. Definitely ahead of the Jaws series and almost everything else in terms of effects. The directing was not... Full review

As concepts go, Deep Blue Sea's might be described as your basic no-brainer. "It's kinda Jaws meets Alien meets 28 Days Later" drawls Finland's answer to Michael Bay, Renny "The Marlin" Harlin; "Kinda, Samuel L meets uber-babe meets blond surfer... Full review

Deep Blue Sea is one of those films that you simply cannot take seriously or you will go out of your mind with annoyance. It seems like the film makers thought about having a plot, but then they found they... Full review

Deep Blue Sea is really more of a satire than anything else, despite the frightening image on the DVD cover. As you view this film, you will notice the tendency of the better actors to become shark food before the... Full review

A very short summary of Deep Blue Sea might go something like: "dumb plot, dumb dialogue, dumb characters, dumb situations, pretty good suspense". And that would more-or-less be that. If you like being jolted out of your seat, this movie... Full review

This is a lot better than people seem to think. Its a good shark movie, but completely different then the more sedate Jaws and some of the scenes are actually quite scary. When i first watched this i must have... Full review

If 'Jaws' and 'Alien' had a baby, that baby would probably look a lot like Deep Blue Sea', a big, loud, dumb action movie that doesn't try to pretend to be anything else. It's short on logic, the dialog is... Full review

After the opening scene of *Deep Blue Sea*, in which (predictably) a shark terrorizes a quartet of partying teenagers on a boat, I decided I was in for a crappy movie. A crappy movie that would contain basically every movie... Full review

I saw DBS for $2.50 on the big screen (cheaper than renting it on video), and on that day I was desiring nothing more than a dumb action flick that would entertain me for about 100 minutes. That's what I... Full review
