WHAT’S IT ABOUT
A massive creature attacks a deep-sea submersible, leaving it disabled and trapping the crew at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. With time running out, rescue diver Jonas Taylor must save the crew and the ocean itself from an unimaginable threat — a 75-foot-long prehistoric shark known as the Megalodon.
MOVIESinMO REVIEW
The world’s biggest shark is still alive, and Jonas Taylor is here to kill it. The Meg is an almost 2-hour long high-end B-flick. For those old enough to remember Drive-Ins, this would have been the perfect movie to watch there. A rescue diver named Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) and an extremely big shark are the main focus of the film. This movie wastes no time getting to the action as we get to see just how Jonas does his job and why he later decides never to do it again. Fast forward to Mana One, an underwater research facility financed by billionaire Jack Morris (Rainn Wilson). As we learn more about the facility and its crew, we get a short lesson in oceanography. This is how The Meg is officially introduced. Dr. Minway Zhang from Mana One convinces Jonas to help him capture the “not extinct anymore” shark for science purposes. Jonas reluctantly agrees to help, and now we have a movie. When the megalodon is seen in open waters, ships get destroyed, and people get eaten. You want to see a shark eat a squid – you got it. You want to see a shark eat a submarine – you got it. The Meg does just what it set out to do – entertain. The action scenes are intense, and everything happens the way it’s supposed to, with a few surprises. If you’ve ever wanted to see a big-budget comedy, sci-fi, action, horror film – YOU GOT IT.
