An entertainingly trashy and derivative carnivore spectacular!

For action-starved audiences suffering through a summer drought of flying glass and fiery explosions, this cheese barge may hit the spot.

Stephen Hunter Washington Post (Top Critic)

Renny Harlin's pretty good when things happen fast and not much good when characters talk slow - or at all.

Jay Carr Boston Globe (Top Critic)

A lame Jaws wannabe!

OK, I understand how gene therapy made the sharks smarter, but what made the scientists so stupid?

Robert Koehler Variety (Top Critic)

The thrills are such a rush, however, and the balance of digitized and analog effects is generally so satisfying that pic's sheer dumbness finally becomes part of the fun.

Hannah Brown New York Post (Top Critic)

Mindless fun requires a lighter touch and more suspense than director Renny Harlin can deliver.

Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

This is one of those ridiculous movies in which people stand around mouthing cliches and weak jokes as they await the next attack.

A nail-biting rollercoaster ride of thrills and adrenaline.

You might guess that this movie will feature yelling, at least once, 'Let's get the hell outta here!'

I can't imagine wanting to see Deep Blue Sea again, but as a one-time-only, low-expectation, Sunday-afternoon diversion, it kept me amused.

Harlin, perpetrated, I mean, directed CUTTHROAT ISLAND, but oddly enough, it did not stop studios from giving him big bucks to repeat his mistakes.

LL Cool J and Thomas Jane (are you looking for the new Steve McQueen? HE'S RIGHT HERE) keep the movie rolling.

It's stupid and violent, and proud of it.

If science can make sharks super- intelligent, why can't it do the same for screenwriters? ...For a movie about the advancement of knowledge, "Sea" is often flabbergastingly dumb.

Call it silly. Call it obvious -- there's nothing more obvious than a shark attack. But this is one of the few big-fish horror films that still has the power to surprise.

Harlin, in telling a standard tale of morality and conflict, turns in a plotless, empty picture that dissolves into an emotionless videogame.

A soggy effort.

A scary film about some of the consequences of messing with Mother Nature.

Despite scene after scene of mayhem, Harlin manages to create and and sustain extremely well-coiled tension.

Una cinta mas en la que la forma de contar una historia es suplantada por una gran cantidad de efectos especiales
