Deep Blue Sea is a shark-infested action pic that despite opening and closing scenes bearing remarkable similarities to Spielberg's legendary Jaws does everything in its power to avoid the inevitable comparisons. One can almost hear the writers saying, "These are makos not great whites. See? It's different." Heavy on the lame-brained scientific exposition establishing premise of Alzheimer's research using sharks at a former U.S. Navy sub base, Deep Blue Sea includes plenty of disposable cast members ready-made for chomping as the film unspools. The premise that the sharks have become super-intelligent and can swim backwards (!?) is as idiotic as many of the phony computer-generated effects, but people willing to check their brains at the ticket window may find themselves cheering for the sharks and having a good time anyway.
