VOD: Deep Blue Sea 3 (dir: John Pogue, 2020)

"We're talking sea-mageddon!"

Now firmly in what used be known as direct-to-video territory, Deep Blue Sea 3 at least bothers to tie in well with the previous two films, and it is certainly more watchable than the second film although nowhere near as entertaining as the original.  This time a research scientist is examining the effect of climate change on the local shark population on a small man-made island construction off the coast of Mozambique,  but soon finds herself not only battling three genetically-modified bull sharks from the previous film's experiments but company bad guys as well.  There are a couple of inventive kills and effective jump-shocks, but again this is one of those franchises in which there is little option for originality on display.
