Researchers on the undersea lab Aquatica have genetically altered the brains of captive sharks to develop a cure for Alzheimer's disease. But there's an unexpected side effect: the sharks got smarter, faster, and more dangerous. After a big storm damages their remote research facility, they must fight for their lives.
For action-starved audiences suffering through a summer drought of flying glass and fiery explosions, this cheese barge may hit the spot.

You might guess that this movie will feature yelling, at least once, 'Let's get the hell outta here!'

Call it silly. Call it obvious -- there's nothing more obvious than a shark attack. But this is one of the few big-fish horror films that still has the power to surprise.
