Meg 2: The Trench shows the limits of lunacy. This is some exhausting silly shark nonsense. aurora_amidon's review:
earnestly takes on the challenge of being even more brazenly goofy and ludicrous than the first film. The sequel opens with some janky CGI prehistoric fish fighting to the death, and after that, it doesn’t exactly tone down. You’ll see: A lot of Megalodons , even more lizard-like creatures and at least one giant octopus . Just another Tuesday forBelieve it or not, these computerized fish actually play a role in something that resembles a plot.
I will always be the first person to champion silliness, especially where sharks are concerned. But in, Wheatley appears so committed to fashioning the most preposterous imagery possible , that they quickly lose any shock value or humor. The result is… well, boring, which is kind of an impressive feat for a big-budget, Statham-starring, mega-shark joint.with a family-over-everything emotional core, but even that falls flat pretty quickly.
