Deep Blue Se Helicopter Crash On Aquatica

“Beneath its glassy surface a world of gliding monsters.” In the movie Deep Blue Sea several witnesses of a helicopter crash on Aquatica must elude enhanced Mako Sharks and the ocean itself in order to make it to the surface alive. Throughout the movie, the characters continually evade explosions and shark attacks during their hunt to reach the surface. The ocean in the Deep Blue Sea not only plays an obstacle and impending doom but also a goal and advantage depending on the perspective.
Aqatica, a floating science lab in the middle of the ocean, starts out as just a shark research facility but later on becomes a battling ground for the skeleton crew when they face impending doom and a sinking lab. After the helicopter crashes into the lab

About halfway through Deep Blue Sea the ocean is just as much a threat as the Makos; the crew faces drowning and electrocution as they ascend to the surface. The sea brings many different challenges such as blocking off exits or using its weight to break down the stability of the construction. This forces the characters to act faster in the climb to the top, putting them at more risks of a shark finding them. At one point the main character Carter swims through the flooded wet lab in order to drain a stairwell; this puts him face to face with Gen 2 the smartest of the three Makos. Carter barley made it out alive. This risk was a necessary one for without it the structure could collapse on the remaining crew. The ocean challenged the characters with physical and mental demands all the way to the water’s break but for some the ocean was viewed as a goal or advantage.

The ocean was a manipulative tool that the sharks could use to drive the people into their own destruction and the shark’s
