Dr. Susan McCallister, her team of scientists, and shark wrangler Jake Carter are researching a cure for Alzheimer's in a refurbished WWII Submarine refueling platform, using sharks to "grow" a protein that reactivates dead human neurons. However, the sharks' brains were too small, and the amounts of protein harvested were so small as to make the efforts unviable, so they use genetic engineering to give them larger brains. They kept the sharks corralled in [[Tempting Fate|an unbreakable mesh cage]] submerged in the ocean along with their labs. [[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?]]

 

* [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"]]: {{spoiler|Franklin's}} [[Sedgwick Speech]] is far more famous than any other scene in the movie.

* [[As the Good Book Says...]]: That's why they call him "Preacher".

* [[As You Know]]: It had to be brought up so that scientists could claim they hadn't. Even more awkward because it's Samuel L. Jackson talking Science.

'''Scientist''': You know that's illegal. }}

* [[Batman Gambit]]: {{spoiler|By ''the sharks'', whose pursuit of the humans is actually a ploy to get them to flood the floating station, so it'll sink low enough for the super-makos to escape into the ocean.}}

* [[Everything Is Even Worse With Sharks]]

* [[Famous Last Words]]

{{spoiler|"Come to Momma."}} }}

* [[Fan Service]]: Susan is being stalked through the flooded complex by a shark. She comes up with a plan to electrocute the shark, which requires an insulating sheet, which requires her to strip off her wetsuit.

** {{spoiler|It's actually pretty hilarious how the scene plays out, since the shark drags her under only to leap back up with the woman still half eaten and covered in gore, hand still reaching out to be saved before sinking back under. It's so ridiculous the only reason for the shark doing that is either because it was taunting him, or hoping he'd grab her because with the full weight of a super shark with half her body down his gullet, the only thing that could have happened would have been him getting dragged own with them.}}

* [[Title Drop]]

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Russell Franklin's best plan to escape the lowest level of the facility was to try to out-swim two freaking ''sharks'' to the surface. Fortunately, one of the other survivors tears this plan to pieces by comparing the swimming speeds of average humans and average sharks (the sharks unsurprisingly being several orders of magnitude faster), and provides a less-suicidal method of escape.

** [[Fridge Logic]] sets in. He survived an avalanche in the Himalayas. Certainly there were sacrifices there... he's giving everyone a fair chance to not be the one who gets eaten. What he underestimates is how much faster the sharks are than humans in the water, so much so that no one was making it to the surface intact. Not once did he think that everyone would survive the swim.
