The sharks become super-intelligent and attack the base, killing almost everyone who is attempting to escape.<\/p>\n<p>The second one, set on a much cheaper looking ocean platform, deals with bull sharks genetically engineered by a crazy billionaire looking to develop a drug to enhance human intelligence. The sequel makes no mention of events from the first film, but predictably the sharks get smarter and attack the base, eating most of the people on it.<\/p>\n<p>In the third film, some of the bulls that escaped the second movie are being tracked by a team of hunters to an island fishing village off the coast of Africa. The man-made island is sinking, leaving it mostly abandoned except for a group of scientists studying the sea life that has sprung up around the island, including a nursery for great white sharks. As the bulls target the underwater nursery, one of the hunters is old friends with the head scientist (Tania Raymonde), so they team up to try to capture the bulls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaplaynews.com\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Subscribe HERE to the FREE <em>Media Play News<\/em> Daily Newsletter!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The production values are a vast improvement over the limited sets of the second film, though the direct-to-video budget is still evident. And the film actually makes an effort to connect the story back to the original film, establishing that the research done in the first film was acquired by the company in the second, who repurposed it.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, its an enjoyable escapade for fans of shark attack movies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mediaplaynews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Follow us on Instagram<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Blu-ray includes a couple of five-minute featurettes: \u201cSinking Sets and Sharks: Making <em>Deep Blue Sea 3,<\/em>\u201d mostly about the production design and visual effects, and \u201c<em>Deep Blue Sea 3<\/em>: Fight to the Death\u201d about the action scenes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLU-RAY REVIEW:\u00a0 Street Date 8\/25\/20; Warner; Thriller; $19.98 DVD, $24.98 Blu-ray; Rated \u2018R\u2019 for some violence, bloody images, and language.
