Trailer: Deep Blue Sea 2 (2018)

[Guestx]

So apparently this is a thing. It only took 19 years.

I figured I'd post this for @BisexualMMA since I know how impressed he was with the first one.

Maybe Ronny Cox will get to talk this time.

Direct to video sequel.

The original was entertaining enough. I would have liked to see a real sequel, with Thomas Jane and Renny Harlin. Not a SciFi original movie that's a sequel in name only.

Looks like basically a total remake.

Has there ever been a good one? It seems like there has to have at least been two or three that were actually entertaining.

With about 1/25th the money.

 

[Guestx]

Fuck it. I'm gonna watch this thing.

Universal Soldier: Regeneration was okay I guess.

Yeah, I'd count that as a pretty decent one.

Just found this article. Weird that they went with Day of Reckoning over Regeneration.

There probably are a few straight-to-video shark films that are decent but I never bothered to look for them.

Edit: Ah you were talking about in general, not just the shark sub genre.

If we're just talking straight-to-video movies in general, then there have been some good ones. Blood and Bone was a great martial arts movie.

But sequels to films that were released theatrically? Not a lot is coming to mind right now.

Yeah, I don't think that's a very credible list, and I would say the author is given to hyperbole.

Day of Reckoning was just weird. It was like an Uwe Boll concept where he delegated the idea to slightly better filmmakers.

To be fair, I have not seen most of the films on that list so I can't really comment.

I did see Day of Reckoning though, and like you say, it was just a weird movie. A disappointing follow-up to Regeneration.

Undisputed 2 was decent for what it was. It had nothing at all to do with Undisputed though. Its villain is now the protagonist of the series.

A fucking shark ate me!

I liked all the straight-to-video Disney sequels when I was a kid. They probably haven't aged well.

But why tho?

I haven't seen any of them but I know their reputations are poor.
