Deep Blue Sea (1999)
On a remote former submarine refueling facility called Aquatica, a team of scientists are searching for a cure for Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Susan McAlester genetically engineers three Mako sharks, intending to increase their brain capacity so that they can harvest the tissue as a cure for Alzheimer's. Unfortunately, the increased brain capacity also makes the sharks smarter, faster, and more dangerous. Aquatica's financial backers are skeptical and nervous about the tests, and send a corporate executive to visit the facility.

Reviews

Newsweek -
Deep Blue Sea gives good rush -- earning its stripes as one terrific junk movie.
|
|
Dallas Observer -
Not everything in the film happens according to the traditional, overly familiar blueprint.
|
|
ReelViews -
It proves capable of doing something that many more artistically ambitious films fail at: entertaining an audience for nearly two hours.
|
|
Film Threat -
If distinctly uneven CGI, minimal originality and overly convenient plot devices turn you off, this may not be your film.
|
|
Washington Post -
This movie's entire raison d'etre (that's French for "shark meat") is to toy creatively with the "rules."
