Unlike the first “Jaws” movie, “Deep Blue Sea” isn’t scary, it is without suspense and the special effects are unrealistic. Although better than all of the “Jaws” sequels I didn’t care for this movie much.

In “Deep Blue Sea”, we learn that at a special research facility some scientists are trying to find a way to get of Alzheimer’s disease using sharks but there is a side-effect, the sharks are getting smarter. The sharks soon start tearing up the place and the people at the facility must find a way out before they drown and before the sharks snap them up. So through various ridiculous antics we see person after person die in some of the most amusing death scenes I’ve ever seen.

Thomas Jane (“The Punisher”) stars as the shark wrangler Carter. He’s an average action hero and is sadly probably one of the better characters. Samuel L. Jackson (“Snakes On A Plane”) stars in this movie about fighting back against nature, which isn’t nearly as good as his other movie about fighting back against nature; “Jurassic Park”. He’s just okay in it. LL Cool J (S.W.A.T) is alright at best in this movie. The rest of the characters are mediocre at best. The sharks themselves look unconvincing.

The special effects in this film are laughable. Unlike “Jaws”, it’s only a matter of minutes before we get to see the sharks in this film. The suspense just isn’t there. In a movie like this I should care about when someone gets eaten, I found myself laughing as the unconvincing effects made way for some of the most hysterical death scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie. Again although it is nowhere near as bad as the sequels to “Jaws” and is probably one of the best movies about sharks ever made it just isn’t very fun to watch and you don’t get anything from it.
