How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A bombastic creature feature that pits a scrappy research team against both a prehistoric megalodon and corporate villainy in the crushing darkness of the Mariana Trench. It's pure spectacle, heavy on action set pieces and practical underwater peril, light on subtlety.

Reviews
Well, that was ridiculous…
I did not want to enjoy this film, yet I enjoyed it. Sure, the CGI was mediocre and there were villians galore. The reason is because I wasn't a big fan of <I>The Meg</I> (it had it high points, but mostly lows) and I truly can't stand anything Jason Statham is in as he has the same delivery (of dialog) and expression in every film. However, I do get his appeal as people want an action film, and Statham is an action star. Those go hand in hand.
Back to the film, I was pleased with the storyline. Given that there is a "Meg" in captivity and some outside evil-doers with plans of their own, the action picks up in the second half of the film. It was a laughable mess, but was made for pure entertainment (as most films are).
