Sea Lab 1999: Sharkham Asylum - "If you're looking for me, you better check under the sea. Cause that is where you'll find me. Underneath the...Deepest, bluest. My hat is like a shark's fin..." LL Cool J really does shine in this insanely dumb popcorn fun. Really solid 'unofficial' "Jaws"/"Jurassic Park" sequel, and probably the best "when-nature-attacks"/creature-feature to come out of 1999. While that may not be saying too much about the movie, genre fans can certainly do far, far, far worse.

Jurassic Shark floods enough sets and flips enough tropes to stay entertaining as you suss out it's slasher code - only the blue collar characters survive, everyone with a college education dies like an asshole. It gets a lot of mileage out of the strength of its environment. LL Cool J makes the most of a role clearly meant for Will Smith and Thomas Jane's stunt double shines as the guy who gets destroyed rounding every corner.

To call it Renny Harlin's finest hour is back-handed at best, but amidst the awesome death scenes, this largely predictable action-thriller manages to pack a few genuine surprises -- the greatest of which is how entertaining a movie this really is. Jane is clicking in badass Punisher mode, LL is the comic relief, and Jackson's last moments are unforgettable. They're stupid characters, which makes it more fun to watch "sharks on crack" rip them to fleshy bits, leaving nothing behind but red mist.

Junky movie that tries a couple of times to genuinely defy audience expectations and to elicit a certain sense of roller-coaster-ride-type-fun. Some scenes feature a great deal of fast-moving water, and the deaths-by-shark are staged with ebullient forcefulness. The scientists-fooling-around-with-nature theme was hardly persuasive, given the utterly nonsensical premise, but this is not a film that we can expect to feature heavily in many doctoral theses anyway. There are worse movies.

Dumb as a brick, to the point of hilarity. A comedy with science as the butt of the joke, more often than not. I can't watch the shark kills without laughing like a crazy person. I should find its virulently anti-intellectual message disturbing, and I do to an extent, but the writers go about the biology and physics with such comical ineptitude that I can't help but enjoy it anyway.

A bunch of marine biologists create super smart sharks in an isolated ocean facility, who immediately decide to kill their captors. It's a decent little shark attack flick with some cool kills and unique underwater environments. The CGI is pretty weak in a few spots though, and Thomas Jane looks absolutely ridiculous as a bleach blonde shark wrangler/surfer dude. Also docking it 10 points for casting LL Cool J. When will Hollywood learn?

Stick around to the halfway mark and you'll be rewarded with the most epic Samuel L. Jackson scene since his quoting of Ezekiel. Stay any longer after that, and you'd be wishing the smart sharks ate your stupid ass.

LL Cool J is fucking incredible in this movie. Apparently the story was constantly changed during filming so his character could do literally everything, and I am not sure there's been a better decision made in the history of film. But I always get sad when there are no women left at the end of a horror movie, because else am I going to jack off to the steamy, aftermath Danger Sex I'm imagining?

When the super-intelligent shark turned on the oven in which LL Cool J had sought refuge, I gave in and let the movie wash over me. Scores very highly on my personal scale of whether a flick has a song describing the plot over the end credits.

One of the few times anybody's made a giant shark movie without the word "jaws" in the title. Kind of an interesting failure: world-class scientists and engineers behaving like complete morons, LL Cool J giving by far the best performance, Samuel L. Jackson giving a St. Crispin's Day speech, Saffron Burrows in her undies... a real mixed bag

This is a dumb exercise in fun that succeeds because it knows it's stupid. Hey, it at least gives its protagonist a somewhat-believable reason to take her clothing off, which is a step ahead of most films in its' genre. Between sharks that swim backwards, a parrot with Tourette's, and Thomas Jane, it's undeniably dumb. But that doesn't stop it from killing off Sam-L in magnificent fashion.

Surprisingly agreeable time-waster about a school of nasty bio-engineered sharks preying on a handfull of scientists at a sea-bound research lab. The movie is mostly junk, to be sure, swimming in the wake of JAWS, with shoddy special effects and a sixth-grade reading-level script, but at least it seems to know it, and the capper to Sam Jackson's "speech to the troops" is undeniably great.

Breeding super-smart, super-aggressive giant sharks to harvest their brain juices - hmm, why do I get the feeling this research was actually funded by Dr. Evil? Yeah it's inherently stupid, but by revelling in it's sense of dumb fun this becomes hard to completely despise. Watch out for Jacksons doomed monologuing and sharks that change size when convenient.

Mistakes - 1) When the sharks first attack and bite off the man's arm, his arm can be seen under his shirt as he's scrambling away from the water. 2) In the shot when the helicopter is about to crash into the building, when looking at a particular blade, you can see a wire holding the helicopter.

The best shark film after Jaws, D.B.S is a dumb movie, but Harlin knows how to build tension and stage action, and his tongue in cheek approach to the substandard material makes it work. The floating laboratory setting is well utilized, and there are many tense scenes, even if the CGI sharks aren't particularly convincing; they didn't look great in 1999 either, although the animatronic effects are good. There are a few memorable deaths and the acting is also above standard for this kind of film.

Passable JAWS/POSEIDON mashup has a few well executed attack scenes (especially involving a largely restrained Jackson) but the premise is so absurdly silly that the film largely produces bad chuckles rather than scares; it might not have been a problem if the film-makers had fully embraced the overripe elements of their production rather than going for pious earnestness. It doesn't help that the sharks themselves are largely unconvincing, CGI'd creations.

I have had more thrilling adventures with toy sharks in a swimming pool than this movie could even try to offer. Of course, no one will ever have any luck making a horror/thriller that is more suspenseful than Jaws, so perhaps this only stinks by comparison... Nope, it stinks in general. Total crap!

OK, OK, so it is not a great film, or even a good film, but it gave me a good laugh and a few scares. The film is set in a sea-based research facility. The lab creates bionic sharks which escape and munch their way through just about all of the cast except (spoiler alert) a salty cook played by L.L. Cool J. He has most of the good lines in the film, including "Ooh, I'm done! Brothers never make it out of situations like this! Not ever!" Wellll....hardly ever!

Would've been much better without LL Cool J or Michael Rapaport. Their "humor" really gave the movie an almost campy feel, but Thomas Jane's efforts at least make the viewer take it somewhat seriously. As it is, this is too hit-and-miss to recommend. But it's on TBS like once a week, so you'll probably see it.
