Researchers on the undersea lab Aquatica have genetically altered the brains of captive sharks to develop a cure for Alzheimer's disease. But there's an unexpected side effect: the sharks got smarter, faster, and more dangerous. After a big storm damages their remote research facility, they must fight for their lives.

There's quite a cast assembled for _Deep Blue Sea_, not what we've come to expect from the Asuylum-soiled genre of shark movies in this day and age. It's not a fantastic movie, but it proves more watchable that 90% of its company. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole_.

Great watch, would watch again, and do recommend. This is probably my favorite shark movie. I know "Jaws" did a thing back when, but I like this better.

**Peak corny shark goodness!** 🦈🦈🦈 Deep Blue Sea falls prey to every shark movie trope and has a blast doing it.

If you haven’t seen this one, I guarantee you will be surprised by who survives and who doesn’t.

The science behind this may well be plausible - that cures for human ailments may well rest elsewhere in the animal kingdom. To that end Saffron Burrows ("Susan") enlists the help of millionaire philanthropist "Russell Franklin" (Samuel L. Jackson) to develop a cure for Alzheimer's using sharks captive in a converted offshore submarine refuelling base. When he arrives at the facility he meets the ...
