Deep Blue Sea


Deep Blue Sea, one of the more famous shark movies, and one of the better ones... The story is alright, and works well. It puts the sharks in a human environment, and most of the time it works. It's pretty scary seeing sharks swim through flooded corridors to attack humans. Imagine if this happened in Titanic or Poseidon Adventure, it would've been cheesy(and historically inaccurate for one), but pretty scary.


Perhaps the film's greatest asset is its production values. The sharks all look great, thanks to a good blending of practical and visual effects. The shark attacks are well done and unexpected. It's a fun game trying to guess who's going to be killed next.


"Please don't kill me!"


I really enjoyed this movie, it's one of the more well made shark movies out there. It's a solid, fun action/adventure movie.
