Renny Harlin's first feature since The Long Kiss Goodnight reinvents the rampaging shark movie for the digital age. Echoing Alien and Deep Rising, a typically motley crew is trapped and terrorised in a remote ocean research station incapacitated by storms. Saffron Burrows' scientist has devised a means of using shark brain-tissue to fight Alzheimer's Disease, but it has the unfortunate side effect of increasing by fivefold the intelligence of the station's three test sharks. Once the sharks escape captivity, their captors become prey and Burrows, along with Thomas Jane's diver and corporate sponsor Samuel L. Jackson, are pursued through the station's maze of corridors. LL Cool J also appears as the most unlikely action-movie chef since Steven Seagal in Under Siege, chanting Biblical passages to his pet parrot and choosing the perfect omelette recipe as his message for posterity.As the bizarre premise indicates, this is not a film for those seeking great acting or rich narrative complexities, but it does deliver action and effects in abundance, particularly with the state-of-the-art computer-generated sharks themselves. While they'll never attain the iconic status of Bruce in Steven Spielberg's Jaws (still the granddaddy of all screen sharks), Harlin's swift predators are clever enough to open doors and operate an oven. As the water level rises, Burrows indulges in some Sigourney Weaver-in-Alien-style disrobing, there is one of the great surprise-death scenes, shocking and funny in equal measure, and all concerned keep their tongues firmly in cheek. This DVD version also features commentaries from Harlin and Jackson, deleted scenes, a "making of" feature and a documentary on sharks. --Steve Napleton

Format:Blu-ray
A handsome transfer onto Blu Ray - and it has to be said - you notice it straight away too. But I must emphasize that 'DBS' looked great anyway for the vast majority of the time on my trusty old DVD. It's just that on BR you do notice the clarity far more.
And the audio...wow! It's huge. A packed 5.1 Soundtrack that is much improved over the DVD delivers a mighty surround-sound punch - especially when all hell breaks loose in the corridors of the flooding marine facility (which is often).
But the truth is that you'll be enjoying yourself too much to be looking out for any print difference. "Deep Blue Sea" is a hugely entertaining watch and a very satisfying thriller into the bargain. It mixes great set pieces with characters you route for - and even supplies its genetically modified toothsome frights with genuinely funny moments too. So when the gorgeous Saffron Burrows gets into the water at the end of the chase to lure Mister Big Nasty People-Munching Shark to her side for a chit-chat (dialogue above) - you'll be biting your nails to beat the band...and cancelling that snorkelling holiday...
To sum up - if you're a fan of "Deep Blue Sea" - then the Blu Ray of Renny Harlin's sharks-with-brains caper is definitely worth the upgrade. And even if you're coming to it for the first time, then you're in for a bit of a treat.
Reasonably priced and better than a slap across the kisser with a wet mackerel - treat yourself to this watery wonder film-lovers.
And stop feeding your goldfish spinach...ask Samuel L. Jackson...

If you are a fan of this film, then the blu ray disc is a worthwhile upgrade. The picture quality is much improved over the DVD and many scenes are super clear. The audio quality is also a big improvement with a robust DTS MA 5:1 soundtrack that excels in all the right places and offers clean, well balanced dialogue.
The great thing about the DBS is it doesn't take itself too seriously and there are a few moments for laughter between the awesome action.

Origanally I thought this was prabably going to be just another Jaws movie. But was I wrong this film Has the ability to scare you half to death at same time there are some great action scene's as well. The film ends in the most unexpected way. The sharks in this film are so good you think your actually there the plot twist and turns in ways that total take you by surprise I recommend this movie to any one who wants to watch a truely scarey Shark movie. Deep Blue Sea is a must have purchase because its heart pounding thriller of a movie. For me the exolosions in this movie are out of this world. The extra features for this film are interesting and and worth watching.

Deep Blue sea (Shark version)
An excellent film full of action & shocks. It also had a moral lesson for humanity, but not pressed hard enough to spoil the film.
