Deep Blue Sea [Limited Edition] [4K UHD]

One of the cheesiest yet most entertaining movies to come out of the 90s, Deep Blue Sea is so much fun to watch - especially if you like Jaws. With its basic plot and thin writing, you wouldn't think someone would be able to make an entertaining movie out of it. But Renny Harlin does just that, and the actors do a fine job as well, making well-rounded 3D performances of their characters. Standouts include Samuel L Jackson and LL Cool J (my fav character in the film) However, one thing to note about the seller is that I didn't receive the item pictured, instead I received the two pack Deep Blue Sea 1 & 2. Two movies for one price, though. Not complaining, although the first is way better. Overall: if you like creature/disaster movies, buy it!! It's awesome!

Good purchase, reasonable price and it arrived on time. This movie has to be one of the most underrated shark 🦈 thrillers. Great casting, definitely the best role LL Cool J has done as an actor. The rest of the professional actors give great performances as well. Samuel Jackson, Thomas Jane, Stellan Skarsgard, Saffron Burrows, all excellent performers. The sharks are very stylish and they think—before they eat you, lol. Great fun, highly recommend it.

Giant killer sharks, what’s not to love

BOTTOM LINE: For dumb scary fun, DEEP BLUE SEA is a pretty good popcorn flick. Head & shoulders above the tidal wave of giant killer shark movies you'll find floating around video stores and thru online retailers. But don't get soaked. Buy it used for cheap and be happy. 4 STARS THE STORY (contains spoilers): Eggheads working at a refurbished WWII submarine refueling base on the Pacific ocean are trying to synthesize a drug that combats the debilitating effects of Alzheimer's, using fluid from the genetically-enlarged brains of three Mako sharks. After spending many months & piles of cash, they're close but have no concrete results. The entrepreneur backing them gives the crew just 48 hours to produce viable results or else he'll shut them down and write off the project. At the proverbial 11th hour the scientists surprise even themselves, creating a protein from the shark brain fluid that seems to reactivate Alzheimer's damaged brain cells ...but their success & celebration is incredibly short-lived when a powerful tropical storm hits the sea base. The three huge, abnormally-intelligent test sharks take advantage of the opportunity and orchestrate a fiendishly clever plan to trick the scientists into unwittingly releasing these mutant apex predators back into the Deep Blue Sea. Trapped out in the middle of the ocean, with no way escape or call for help, the heavily damaged complex inexorably sinking around them and three huge, highly intelligent sharks looking for a quick snack before heading out to sea, what will this handful of very smart but also very weary and very scared people do? Who will survive? THOUGHTS: This is another of those silly yet fun nature-on-the-loose movies in the tradition of ANACONDA & LAKE PLACID where you just put your thinker in neutral and enjoy the mindless mayhem. You'll have to suspend your disbelief, because the F/X in DEEP BLUE SEA are quite dated since this was filmed during the adolescent days of CGI. Many shots are pretty cringe-worthy now, but no more so than stop-motion effects were way back in the day, I suppose. Just use your imagination and go with it. Thankfully, the full-size animatronic sharks kick things up a notch, as they are very cool and believably realistic. Most of the acting ensemble (among them a woodenly macho Thomas Jane, amiable Michael Rapaport, L.L. Cool J, and soon-to-be Thor's pal, Stellan Skarsgård) seems to be having a good time, delivering silly dialogue that's cornier than a silo full of Jiffy Pop, (but that usually goes hat-in-hand with this kind of film). Samuel L. Jackson is the most polished member of the cast, and gets what has to be one of the greatest death scenes ever put on film. (Certainly one of the most memorably shocking!) Director Renny (DIE HARD 2) Harlin engineers the entire movie like one, long cinematic spookhouse funride. And it works for the most part. THE BLU-RAY: Nothing to exactly cheer about, the Blu-ray for DEEP BLUE SEA is a decent if unspectacular affair. Good sharp picture and a solid level soundmix help make this a worthy purchase if you have a Blu player but don't yet own the film. If you've got the DVD then I cannot fully recommend a double-dip. The bonus features have merely been ported over from the DVD; (audio commentary with Renny Harlin & Samuel L. Jackson, 2 mini-featurettes, deleted scenes & the theatrical trailer).

This is a classic, feel-good movie with that old-school charm. It’s entertaining from start to finish and makes for a perfect summer watch. Packed with memorable lines and a few great jump scares, it’s an all-around awesome film.

Good

Classic 90's shark movie. Doesn't get any better.

I enjoyed this movie for several reasons, including the choice of actors - I thought everyone did a good job with their individual characters (spoiler - most of whom get eaten). This is one of those films about: "Look what stupid humans did to create monsters (in this case, sharks) for our own profit (in this case, for Alzheimer's drug research), and lo and behold, our creations turn on us in the most horrible way (they eat us)". The special effects (the sharks) won't wow you, but they're pretty good. The story is somewhat unbelievable, but it's real enough to keep you engaged. And let's face it, everybody fears being eaten by a shark, no matter how close they ever come to the ocean, so the constant scrambling by the characters to avoid this fate is sympathetic, at the very least. Saffron Burrows, as the scheming, hard-assed doctor in charge of this doomed crew, is very good. She gives the term "ice cold bitch" new meaning. Samuel Jackson as her financial backer, trying to decide if he will pull his funding after an "accident", is a great foil for her. Worth a rental.
