Storyline
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.

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.

This movie's entire raison d'etre (that's French for "shark meat") is to toy creatively with the "rules."
