Redundant and unnecessary.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This movie surprised me, after coming close to forward speeding it by 8 times after 45 minutes of lousy acting, ill conceived SF premise and virtual GI-Joe intellectual and philosophic discussion; it gradually and weirdly takes on a life of its own and ends as half a very interesting and credit worthy SF adventure and exploration. The female lead for a while stops just looking like Katherine Hepburn but starts acting like her as well, and though it isn't much and the animation is borderline shlock-horror comic the whole cooked up alien contact eco-catasrophe, deep sea adventure mish mash works a bit in the end. Surprisingly enjoyable!

It's not the best movie ever made, but it is far from bad. The effect are a bit outdated for a movie made in 2002, but it is still exciting and a nice little piece to watch on a weekday when you don't have any other films to watch.If you don't mind some lame computer animated scenes, it's actully quite exciting.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*It could have been so simple. You rent a flick called "Deep Shock" and expect giant eels to be attacking. Well, that's what I expected. Instead I got a hokey, moronic, painful waste of a movie. Who was in charge of quality control for this stink burger? Yuck-o. Shockingly terrible.Giant glowing eels attack an underground station. The UN sends the usual plucky scientist to investigate. The eels looked like the dragon from "Never Ending Story". They did not look like eels. They shoot lightning bolts out of their heads! What? Wait...What? What is that about? These are super eels. How super you ask? The scientist creates a computer program to talk to the eels!! YES!! Instant messaging with eels! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!This movie is as lame brained as it gets. I was in agony watching it. The monsters turn out to be misunderstood eels and the humans are wretched for not trying to understand them and their eel ways. If there is one lesson I can impart on monster movie filmmakers, it is this: MONSTERS ARE THERE TO BE KILLED. THEY ARE THE BAD GUYS. THEY ARE NOT THERE TO BE PETTED LIKE A PUPPY DOG OR OTHERWISE SYMPATHIZED WITH!This movie was made for only one purpose: To show off their lame computer special effects. Over half the movie is spent having characters look at computer screens. Whoop-dee-doo. The eel flick needed lots of computer screen shots with diagrams of subs, stations and whatever else was in chaos.
Send this flick down into the eel trench. They might like it. All humans should avoid.

This is one of what appears to be several attempts of the SciFi channel at securing a new weekly series. (Riverworld, Momentum, Alien Hunter, Epoch) This time it is giant alien eels who are preparing the earth for reclamation by its original owners, whoever that might be, by melting the polar ice caps. In the end the good scientist somehow manages to communicate with them and they get locked away in the remains of the Hubris undersea research station which conveniently sinks with them inside it. It's easy to see how this could evolve into a series with the question each week of "Will the earths owners come back or not?) Like all of the these movies that the SciFi channel has put on they come on at 9:00PM on Saturday (at least in my area). They are interesting until about half-way through and they loose steam. The ending always leaves many unanswered questions which could conveniently be dealt with in a weekly series. As far as the storyline goes there is one major flaw in the concept. According to the scenario presented if the polar ice cap melted the resulting lose of land mass due to flooding is way, way off. A graphic presented in the movie showed that 90% of all land mass would be under water. This is simply not the case. Even if both polar ice caps melted, (in the movie only the Arctic ice mass was being melted) ocean levels in the world would rise about 60-100 feet. While this would be devastating to all coastal cities it would not, as indicated in the movie, flood all of the United States except the High Sierra Nevada Mountains. The far greater problem with a disappearing polar ice sheet would be the complete disruption of the weather pattern as we now know it. I also was annoyed with the cliche ridden depiction of the military. Even after it was very clearly demonstrated that any form of aggression against these "eels" would result in complete destruction of the aggressor no one except the good scientists were getting the message. I served in the military and can say that if one battle strategy fails it is never repeated over and over again giving opportunity after opportunity for failure. All in all it was a disappointing film. I'll keep watching however because I am a SciFi junkie.
