Great movie of sharks. U don't see many shark movies that are good. This one is. It's an 6 out of 10, but 1 star taken away cause of some terrible graphics.

Set in an isolated underwater facility, a team of scientists carry our research on genetically engineered Mako sharks to help fight Alzheimer's disease but this go awry when sharks go on rampage and flood the facility.Director Renny Harlin's delivers a B-movie premise that's good fun. Although the CGI shark effects are a bad as they were back on its 1999 release, the practical shark effects still hold up and are impressive even today.There's plenty of shark action and the cast boasts both Stellan Skarsgård and Samuel L. Jackson in small pivotal roles. Leads Saffron Burrows and Thomas Jane play it perfectly straight and are solid enough. However, Donna & Wayne Powers and Duncan Kennedy's screenplay add comedy moments mostly in the guise of LL Cool J who is memorable as Sherman the cook 'Preacher', instead of it being totally serious throughout. There's some good set-ups and surprise deaths, an ominous attack on partying teens, shark smashing stretchers against windows, shark casing through flooded shafts, helicopter crash, think The Poseidon Adventure meets Jaws 3.Although Deep Blue 2 followed - it's less squeal and more of remake, recycling some of the story setups and script only without the budget and tension. Stick with Harlin's original.

Deep Blue SeaIf sharks were smart they'd be getting Shark Week royalties.This thriller, however, maintains the motives of shrewd sharks would be less financial.When a test shark escapes from the submerged sea-lab where it's being studying for an Alzheimer's cure, the financial backers send down a company man (Samuel L. Jackson) to investigate.His inquiry uncovers the scientists have increased the sharks brain mass causing them to revolt. Trapped below the waves, the remaining survivors (Stellan Skarsgård, Thomas Jane, LL Cool J) must keep the genetically enhanced animals from independence.More hilarious than horrific, this Renny Harlin directed creature feature is as corny today as it was in 1999. While it was one of the first movies to showcase digital sharks, it also came with hollow acting and a horrendous soundtrack from LL Cool J.Lastly, the best way to dumb down acute sharks is with heavy doses of marijuana.

He really does. To be completely honest, LL Cool J is the only redeeming quality the movie has. "Preacher," LL Cool J's character has two traits: he delivers sassy one-liners and believes in Jesus. It may be telling of the overall quality of the movie, but LL Cool J's character was better developed and more interesting than anything else that happens. The movie wants to be Jurassic Shark very badly, but failed miserably at delivering a comparable experience to Spielberg's classic. LL Cool J survives to the end, which was very important to me.tl;dr: Movie sucks, LL Cool J blows up two sharks, and I wish I was drunk when I watched it.
