Movie spotlight
Dr. Emma Collins and her team are spending their third summer on the island of Little Happy studying the effect of climate change on the great white sharks who come to the nearby nursery every year to give birth. Along with the last two inhabitants of this former fishing village, their peaceful life is disrupted when a "scientific" team led by her ex-boyfriend and marine biologist Richard show up looking for three bull sharks who we soon learn aren't just any bull sharks.
In the third installment of the Deep Blue Sea franchise, a marine biologist, Dr. Jane Taylor, is drawn back to the waters of Little Happy Island, a sanctuary she established years ago. However, her return is met with the horrifying realization that the island's shark-infested waters have become a breeding ground for a new, more intelligent, and relentless species of "smart" sharks. These enhanced predators are not only a threat to Jane and her team but also to the encroaching industrial forces seeking to exploit the ocean's resources.

Not as great as the original movie, which is considered the second-best shark movie since Jaws (1975), Deep Blue Sea 3 still manages to keep you entertained with better CGI, a better plot than the second instalment, and an overall active sc...

Better than the lame sequel and this one does have its moments, including the shark killing a character following a valiant speech, but many of the characters were, especially early on, a bit obnoxious being the cliched preachy environmenta...
