The CGI is what ruins this movie, it pales in comparison to the original and looks downright cheap and so fake throughout, even the few shark props they have look so fake it’s sickening and that’s the main problem.

The death scenes are also extremely boring and derivative, marred by god awful CGI that makes Jackson’s death in the original look Avatar quality. And this time, it’s not three sharks but five, wow, impressive, it’s a shame only one shark actually has any presence, growling and giving the camera the stink-eye and glaring as it swims around (why?).

Boring, cookie cutter, badly acted and all but exchangeable, you care not one iota about any of the characters and I can’t remember any of their names or reasons for being in the movie, with golden lines such as, “DONT MIND US! WE’RE NEWLYWEDS!” However you don’t watch a movie like this for good characters or great locations, you watch it for intelligent sharks eating people and sabotaging shit like its their day job. The underwater research facility this time is minuscule and isn’t as interesting or it’s own character as in the original film, and the actual characters? Christ, if you thought Saffron Burrows was an insufferable bitch in the original you’ll be happy to know the entire cast gives it their best Saffron Burrows this time aroun. Now nearly twenty years after the original we have Deep Blue Sea 2, and in all honesty, they shouldn’t have bothered, had they kept to the original plot which involved, ‘Sharks with fricking laser beams’ we could have had a ridiculous over the top action romp, instead we get a rehash of the original movie only instead of going bigger and badder the film as a whole feels so much smaller. Within the same sort of genre we also have the ‘eh’ Opem Water, Piranha 3D (because they basically acted like mini sharks) and Shark Night (let’s just not).

Jaws and it’s sequel are both fantastic examples of a criminally ill done by genre and Deep Blue Sea did over the top action sharks that have brains flawlessly. When you think of good shark movies the list is pretty limited.
