Le docteur Susan McAlester est persuadée de pouvoir remédier à la dégénérescence du cerveau humain à l'aide de protéines de requins. Elle travaille avec une équipe de biologistes au centre de recherche Aquatica, un vaste complexe offshore, où ils se livrent a des expériences aussi secrètes que dangereuses. C'est ainsi que le docteur Susan McAlester n'a pas hesité à recombiner l'ADN de deux grands requins au mépris de l'éthique médicale et de la plus élémentaire prudence. Susan et ses partenaires en font ainsi de terrifiantes machines à tuer. (texte officiel du distributeur)

La Mer Bleue est un thriller palpitant. Il vaut mieux ne pas y réfléchir. Mais en plus des scènes d'action exceptionnelles, il se distingue par un autre aspect positif. Les personnages qui "survivront sûrement" sont dévorés plus tôt que les personnages auxquels vous souhaitez vraiment le meilleur (comme le chef cuisinier LL Cool J). Et c'est précisément cette imprévisibilité du scénario qui apporte une dose de tension au film, et après la mort absurde "prématurée" d'un des principaux personnages, elle apporte aussi un regard ironiquement sympathique qui justifie toutes les incohérences et crie en même temps : "Oui, je suis un thriller palpitant. Ne te pose pas de questions et laisse-toi emporter par l'ouragan de divertissement d'action de première classe !"

The most watchable and best shark movie since Jaws.

This is a very decently filmed "survival" film with a big ugly toothy animal in the lead role. I like the perspective with which the creators make fools of the genre clichés, I like the effects, and I like the dense atmosphere... Although I have no excessive sympathy for this kind of film, Harlin has made something that can reliably entertain and frighten me, although the first viewing is hard to beat...

Amazing film and I'm surprised I didn't get to it until today. Thomas Jane is probably cool in every movie and I love his acting; Samuel L. Jackson is a delight as well. The film is adrenaline-pumping and thrilling from start to finish, it features visually good and fine bloody action scenes and the sharks look unexpectedly very good for their time. It's quite astonishing that no one can make a shark horror film like this nowadays.

One blink of surprise, several attempts at parody, but the rest of the running time is just pure despair. This relaxing action film ultimately turns into desperate boredom.

Pity about the clumsy and glaring computer effects that drag the whole project into the realm of B movies, because this film has a large number of good things, from the unpredictability of the plot to the solidly designed underwater laboratory. The expert talk about an Alzheimer's vaccine is not believable but, of course, there has to be some kind of mission. Surprisingly, the sharks are nothing special and except for a few shots, they are not worth much. Much better is the human shark, Thomas Jane, and the priest played by LL Cool J, whose coolness could fill buckets. I enjoyed the bloody scenes and the severed limbs, but the excessive straightforwardness and numerous plot mistakes are disappointing.

Oh well, and they say they don't make good shark horror movies anymore. Deep Blue Sea offers pools of blood, deaths that come in surprising and rather original ways, and a script that puts one unpleasant and deadly obstacle after another in front of the hapless protagonists. The filmmakers hit the mark mainly by choosing a cramped environment from which there is seemingly no escape, where the clash with bloodthirsty beasts is inevitable and the atmosphere is really sharp and terrifying in some places. Moreover, the film has a good cast, though it thins out a lot in an hour and three quarters. I enjoyed it, I was scared and held my breath a lot, so I'm happy to forgive the digital sharks and the slower pace, but don’t be fooled.

Another typical American monster-survival film, in which three incredibly smart and gluttonous sharks stalking humans, looking forward to a properly juicy barbecue. And pretty bloody! This is one of the better animal horror films, and I'd compare to Lake Placid. Granted, it's cliched to the bone, but since the sharks are pretty solidly done and there are some really great scares, I'll give it a clean and beautiful 3*. In short, a horror movie about dangerous fish that like to picnic on the open sea and their greatest delicacy is fresh human flesh.
