yes, i know that. but it can't be helped. sure if we all liked the same films it would be fairly boring. but yeah, preferring Deep Blue Sea over the mighty Jaws is a bit mad

you're saying the acting is better in deep blue sea???? what acting? they're just acting scared. that's it. the character development and interaction within jaws is fundemental to how the whole thing works. robert shaw richard dreyfus and rob schnieder along with the incredible supporting cast. ah, forget it. i'm not going down this road. you're incurable

Whats deep blue sea about?
On a remote top-secret island facility called Aquatica, a team of scientists are searching for a cure for Alzheimer's disease. The team consists of Dr. Susan McCallister (Saffron Burrows), the scientist behind the experiment who decided to begin finding a cure after seeing her father suffers from Alzheimer's; Jim Whitlock (Stellan Skarsgĺrd); Dr. Janice Higgins (Jacqueline McKenzie); Carter Blake (Thomas Jane), a shark wrangler; Tom Scoggins (Michael Rapaport), an engineer; Sherman "Preacher" Dudley (LL Cool J), a religious, wise-cracking cook; and Brenda Kerns (Aida Turturro), the communications specialist.

Despite Carter's warnings, McCallister violates the code of ethics and creates three genetically engineered mako sharks. Her intent is to increase their brain capacity so the scientists can harvest tissue as a cure for Alzheimer's. Unfortunately, the increased brain capacity also makes the sharks smarter, faster and more aggressive--as well as growing to the size of great white sharks, gaining increased memory, and being able to swim backwards. Aquatica's financial backers are skeptical about the tests and send corporate executive Russell Franklin (Samuel L. Jackson) to visit the facility.

In order to prove that the research is worth it, the team schedules a test to remove brain fluid bearing the protein complex from the largest shark. After removing the tissue, they rejoice as it brings test cells back temporarily. However, after the test, the shark breaks free and bites off Whitlock's arm. Blake tries to shoot it, but McCallister saves it by pressing the release button, sending it back to the holding pen. An emergency request is made for paramedics, while the team gets Whitlock to the surface.

The medical helicopter arrives and they manage to get Whitlock attached to the winch cable, despite a severe storm. However, the cable motor fails and Whitlock is dropped into the water. The shark which McCallister earlier saved grabs the cable and drags the helicopter into the communications tower, resulting in a massive explosion that kills Brenda and both pilots, and destroys the "surface level" (the facility's level above water,) stranding the surviving crew beneath. Back in the lab, Carter attempts to make contact with the tower but cannot get through. The large window facing the holding pen shows an object growing closer; the largest shark uses Whitlock's transport stretcher as a ram, crashing it into the glass window which then breaks, releasing a massive flow of water into the facility. Whitlock is killed and McCallister and the others escape the wet lab.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, which is now partly submerged, one of the sharks enters and attacks Preacher, eating his pet bird; Preacher climbs into the oven. Through constant ramming, the shark activates one of its controls, releasing gas into the oven. Preacher, determined to survive and avenge his pet bird's death, escapes the oven using an axe and swims to the exit before throwing a lighter, igniting the gas and killing the shark in a fiery explosion.

The scientists descend to the bottom level from which they planned to take a submarine to the surface, but find the room and sub destroyed. Scoggins and McCallister begin to argue when Franklin silences them before giving a speech about how the group will have to pull themselves together to find a way out. Unexpectedly, a shark leaps out from a pool behind him and bites him; the two remaining sharks then devour him by ripping him into two pieces. The team makes way to the elevator shaft and starts to climb up. Carter attempts to open the door to Level 2 to drain off the water, but before he can, a shark rams through the door and the elevator shaft begins to flood. An explosion causes a part of the ladder to fall backwards. Higgins falls into the water and is killed by the shark. All hope seems to be lost for the rest of the gang until Preacher, having survived the explosion that killed the first shark, shows up alive. While taking refuge in Preacher's cubby, Preacher tells them that a stairwell in Level 1 has been flooded, blocking their way to the surface.

Realizing that Preacher is right, Blake and Scoggins go down into the water and activate bilge pumps to drain the stairwell so they can get to the surface. Scoggins reaches the controls and manages to turn the pumps on, but the third shark appears and tears him in half. While killing Scoggins, the shark also destroys the controls, leaving Blake to swim back to Preacher's cubby unable to get the pumps to drain the stairwell, much to his dismay. Meanwhile, despite Preacher's warnings, McCallister goes to her living quarters to get the files from the experiment. The second shark attacks her, but she manages to get on a shelf and breaks an electric wire. She then strips down to her underwear as she steps on her rubber suit to prevent electrocution; she throws the cable into the shark's mouth, electrocuting and killing it but also destroying the research, much to McCallister's dismay.

Only Preacher, McCallister and Carter are left, discovering that the sharks have not just been trying to kill them, but were actually leading them to flooding the facility (sinking it and the titanium fences surrounding it) so they could escape into the open sea. The three swim to the surface and Preacher is grabbed by the third shark on the leg. He stabs it in the eye with his crucifix necklace and gets free, swimming back to the tower with Carter's help. After tending Preacher's injured leg with a first-aid kit, Carter and McCallister then see the shark ramming the gates which had previously been above the water. Carter realizes that the gates had been titanium under the water, but the parts that had been above the ocean are only common steel.

Carter decides that the mutant shark is too dangerous to be allowed to roam free and must be killed before it breaks through the fence. Carter combines explosive powder from flares with a harpoon, which is attached to a steel cable. He plans to fire the harpoon into the shark and then ignite the powder by having McCallister connect the other end of the cable to a battery. However, the shark is already too far away to hit and McCallister decides to use herself as bait. She cuts her hand to tempt the shark with her blood and jumps into the water. She attempts to escape up a ladder but the handle breaks off and she is ripped in half and eaten by the shark.

Carter jumps into the water in a failed attempt to rescue her and is attacked by the shark, but manages to hang onto its dorsal fin. All hope seems to be lost for Carter until Preacher picks up the harpoon (despite having difficulty moving with his injured leg) and fires at the shark, impaling its dorsal fin along with Carter's leg. The shark rams the gate again and manages to escape. But as Carter is pulled free while the shark rams the gate at the last minute, Preacher connects the battery, resulting in a massive explosion that blows the shark to bits. Carter manages to survive the explosion, but is now left with an injured leg. Carter and Preacher, having survived and finished their task of killing the sharks, enjoy a brief and uneasy respite as they wait to be picked up by an approaching boat. The movie ends with Carter and Preacher, saying the results of their success, and are "quitting" their jobs, with their last words being Amen.

i agree arsenal. they were harmless enough though. plus that kinda film is always hard to pull off- bound to be a backlash when you're making that kinda flick. i don't mind them so much but they're harldy masterworks.

Overrated doesn't equal bad though. With the exception of Scarface I do like these films. Also Saw and High school musical aren't really overrated, neither are really well liked that much outside it's teen target audience.

Off the top of my head - 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' and 'X-Man Origins: Wolverine'. Both were shite.
