Deep Blue Sea 3

Lovely locale and competent Shark CGI gets bogged down by main characters so dislikable it's distracting. I started praying for Emma and Eugene to be eaten as soon as they stuck their toes in the water for the first time. Everyone, save for Richie and Lucas (who are supposed to be the bad guys) have a massive chip on their shoulder - and it gets old fast.

Bad actors, uninspired story. What could you expect from a straight to video sequel of a bad sequel? Nothing really. CFI looks good and that's as much positive comments I can make.

We've got a whole cast out of the C list. Mostly unknowns, but that's not a bad thing. Especially the lead "Doctor" who looks quite exotic and must be known for some of her popular series', like Lost. I'd never seen her before. Across the board, most of the acting is a bit wooden, and we didn't always remember our lines, did we. Nevertheless, the photography was great, including the underwater portions. Not quite as sharkcentric as the iconic 'Deep Blue Sea' (1), and certainly not the budget, but just enough tie-in to keep it legit, and a lot of similar set-ups (see: formulaic). I liked it, and it deserves better than the 4.6 is currently has. I'm guessing too many DBS 1 purists and maybe some non-sharkaholics contributing. You know - for the life of me - I can't remember DBS 2. Must have been very unmemorable. I may have to revisit.

Deep Blue Sea 3 (2 out of 5 stars).

Deep Blue Sea 3 is a sequel that is an improvement over the second movie. But still not better than the original. The plot follows a group of engineered bullsharks that are wrecking the ecosystem in a underwater haven which they have to stop.

The plot is terribly put together. The script and direction is cheesy. The humor feels forced with its stereotypical characters. The direction is horrible. The cast ensemble is good but the performances are sloppy. The visual effects is cheap. It does have some entertaining action. But fails with its script and direction.

Although it did have an interesting approach, the cast just made it insufferable to watch. I have no idea where they found these cardboard actors but they are so unlikable that it makes you wish the shark ate them all!

Considering the B rated quality of all other shark movies out there plus how lame Deep Blue Sea 2 was, this one is decent in terms of visual quality and plot, but it's a movie you will forget you ever watched by the next day
