Meg 2: The Trench
It’s “Jurassic World” meets “Jaws” meets “Underwater” meets “Die Hard” with echoes of “release the Kraken” when Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) & company, Mac, DJ, & Meiying, return for another misadventure exploring the Trench. Sabotage at the Oceanic Research Facility threatens everyone when an hostile takeover arises. But our heroes overcome the adversities to escape their situation. It’s a crazy fun time with Jonas racing on a jet ski with homemade explosive spears on a giant shark hunt. The climax sets up at none other than Fun Island where vacationing tourists are enjoying their beach time. Oh… and that cute little dog makes another appearance. It’s just another fun absurd action thriller romp with prehistoric creatures & evil henchmen. Now, will there be a Meg 3?
Alien gives it 3 “Apex Predator” stars out of 4.
