Genetic Engineering in the Deep Blue Sea
Today, as I enjoyed my lazy Sunday afternoon, full of junk food and even junkier television, I was ever so fortunate as to stumble across a personal favorite of mine-- Deep Blue Sea. For anyone not familiar with this classic, and iconic piece of cinematography, the general premise is that genetically modified sharks declare mutiny and work to escape from the scientific facilities. Better yet, this isn't Sea World we're talking about. This is a multi-level, underwater, isolated facility. Oh, and to make things better, that genetic engineering is against the law.
*Now here is where my geek out comes into play*
Pretend the genetic modification wasn't performed on sharks...but on people. What do you get? BIOSHOCK. I dunno, maybe it's just me. But come on?!
- Multi-Level underwater community
- Isolated in the middle of the ocean
- Started by a scientist who isn't in a particularly sound state of mind
- Genetically modified parties mutiny and overrun aforementioned community
Just a thought.
