Great watch, would watch again, and do recommend.
This is probably my favorite shark movie. I know "Jaws" did a thing back when, but I like this better. It doesn't mean it's a better movie, the same way that more people like pizza than salad even though salad is a better food.
The biggest part of why I like it so much better is that it's a survivalist situation, in an isolationist setting, and the sharks are "intelligent" so they're actively hunting the humans so it becomes a killer creature feature too.
The cast is really good, and you should probably recognize about half the faces, whether or not they've been in Marvel movies.
The split story lines bother me a bit, and more when they're voluntary, but it works. And when someone gets eaten by a shark, everyone else greedily makes an opportunity of it in a good survivor's fashion.
This is a movie fueled by adversity instead of stupidity, as is a soft requirement for some movies. I guess the "stupidity" is creating the situation in the first place
If you like sharks eating people, or underwater bases ("Rapture"), or liked "The Meg" then give this a watch.

The most negative review

There's quite a cast assembled for _Deep Blue Sea_, not what we've come to expect from the Asuylum-soiled genre of shark movies in this day and age. It's not a fantastic movie, but it proves more watchable that 90% of its company.
_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole_.
