The Most Famous Non-Jaws Shark Movie Is Now Streaming Free
Many films have tried to replicate the success of Jaws, but few have matched the fame of a 1999 shark movie now available for free streaming. There is no doubt that Jaws is the definitive shark film. Steven Spielberg’s 1975 summer blockbuster launched a thriving subgenre of shark horror that remains popular today.
Deep Blue Sea Arrives on Streaming
Renny Harlin’s sci-fi horror Deep Blue Sea began streaming on Tubi on November 1. Though initially criticized for its cheesy tone, clichéd script, and implausible plot, the film offers an entertaining monster movie experience.
- The story is set in an underwater research facility where scientists hunting for an Alzheimer’s cure face genetically engineered mako sharks.
- The film holds a 60% critic score and 40% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Deep Blue Sea is far from the cinematic masterpiece that Jaws is, and isn’t likely to be one of the top shark movies of all time, but it doesn’t deserve the bad reputation that has followed it."
Ultimately, Deep Blue Sea is a silly yet entertaining monster movie packed with memorable and over-the-top moments. It is well-crafted for what it aims to be: an enjoyable thriller.
