   Hello friends, I'm here with another fascinating movie I watched titled The Meg and I would like to share with you here.

   The movie is about When the members of an underwater research facility are under threat owing to a 75-foot prehistoric shark, Jonas Taylor, a deep-sea diver, is hired to save them.

   It begins with a man named Jonas Taylor is a rescue diver who attempts to save the crew of a damaged nuclear submarine when he sees the hull being rammed by an unidentified creature.

   Two of his crew are trapped in the damaged sub, but Jonas is forced to flee, realizing that attempting rescue would result in the deaths of everyone he has already saved.

   Jonas' account of the story is dismissed by fellow survivor Dr. Heller, who denounces his actions as the result of pressure-induced psychosis.

   Five years later, billionaire Jack Morris meets Dr. Minway Zhang at the underwater research facility Mana One.

   Zhang and his oceanographer daughter Suyin supervise a mission to explore what turns out to be a deeper section of the Mariana Trench, previously concealed by a thermocline of hydrogen sulfide.

   The mission submersible is piloted by Japanese scientist Toshi, an American scientist referred to as “The Wall,” and Jonas' ex-wife Lori.

   They discover an abundance of never-before-seen flora and fauna below the thermocline, but an attack by a large, unidentified creature causes the submersible to lose contact with Mana One.

   Jonas' old friend and Mana One operations manager, James “Mac” suggests sending Jonas down to attempt a rescue.

   Despite the objections of Heller (now a member of the Mana One crew), Zhang and Mac venture to Thailand to recruit Jonas, who is now a drunken loner.

   Jonas is initially skeptical but relents after listening to a taped recording containing the dialogue between Lori, her crew and Mana One.

   Suyin attempts the rescue in their absence but is attacked by a giant squid. Before the squid can crush her submersible, an enormous shark kills it.

   Having agreed to help, Jonas breaches the thermocline and reaches the sunken submersible.

   Meanwhile, When the shark returns and attacks the submersible before the evacuation has been completed, Toshi sacrifices himself to help the others escape.

   Returning to Mana One, the crew discovers the giant shark is “Meg”, a prehistoric species of shark previously believed to be extinct.

   While discussing how to address it, Suyin's daughter Meiying encounters and narrowly avoids an attack from the shark outside Mana One's underwater tunnels.

   The crew realizes that the Meg pursued them through a temporary break they caused in the thermocline, and resolves to go out and track the Meg before killing it with poison.

   After the Meg destroys three nearby shark fin-fishing ships, Jonas enters the water to shoot the Meg with a tracker, and then the team puts Suyin in a shark-proof tank, so she can shoot the Meg with poison.

   However, the mission goes awry when the shark attacks the cage and cracks Suyin's mask, causing her to lose oxygen.

   She manages to poison the shark just as Jonas manages to get her out of the cage. The Meg returns and attacks Jonas and Suyin, but it gets snagged on the cage's line and dies from the poison.

   But in their moment of triumph, a second larger Meg emerges, devouring The Wall and the dead Meg, critically wounding Zhang and destroying the crew's ship.

   Heller sacrifices himself by distracting the Meg to save fellow crew member Jaxx. Mac swims out to a floating lifeboat so that he and the crew can regroup at Mana One, though Zhang dies on the way. The shark gives chase, but it is deterred by a helicopter Morris called in.

   Back at the station, Morris claims that he has informed all the neighboring governments about the Meg and that they have sent two destroyers to torpedo the shark while secretly enlisting a mercenary team to kill the shark with depth charges, but they accidentally kill a whale.

   Realizing the Meg is near, the team speeds away, but Morris falls overboard and is eaten. The team soon learns of Morris' deceit and resolves to kill the Meg themselves.

   Find out what happened next on Netflix as the resolves to kill the Meg themselves as the movie gets more fascinating.

   Thanks for reading my post.

2. ›The Meg - Megaladon@cute-cactus1045d

   3.6 million years ago, we can witness in the sci-fi genre of cinema that a creature that is extinct is not actually extinct. The limits of cinema can be scaled by imagination. Many people with unlimited imagination have the resources that shape the fiction genre of cinema. There will always be production companies and directors who will use this resource because the number of people in the consumer seat of cinema is constantly increasing. Who can be indifferent to an industry with so many customers?

   [source](https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/6bAjogOzrB9xbmIaY3BRpZZgn5Q.jpg)

   The Meg, a 2018 American-Chinese co-production, reintroduces the gigantic sharks called Megaladons, which have taken their place in the dusty pages of history, back into human life. I say reintroduced because there are many productions in the movie industry about the struggle between humans and sharks, and almost all of them are remarkable as American productions.

   We can say that the oceans contain unknowns and are constantly open to discovery about the lives they hide. There are still new species of fish being discovered today and these discoveries will continue for decades, perhaps centuries. Although not as gigantic as the Megaladon, it may be hiding similar mysterious creatures from mankind.

   [source](https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/ibKeXahq4JD63z6uWQphqoJLvNw.jpg)

   As far as I remember, the enmity between humans and sharks was first brought to the big screen in 1975 with the movie Jaws. Jaws was the first movie I saw where sharks attacked humans. This story must have been a hit because the Jaws movie series came after and became quite watchable. 1978 - 1983 - 1987 and 1995 were the production years of these classic films and dozens of different stories appeared in theaters afterwards. Even though the story of each movie is different, the result is the same. First sharks attack humans, then humans take revenge.

   However, if the stories were based on the human strategy of first discover and then destroy, they would reflect more of the truth. If every living creature is given the right to live in its own habitat, there would be no need for anyone to attack anyone. These are thoughts about reality, but when we look at it from a cinematic point of view, in terms of reflecting the tension, beautiful stories emerge from the conflict between sharks and humans, and these stories continue to increase in popularity.

   [source](https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/anrUGgYG1A0WOMdW5RJauz4I13M.jpg)

   The Meg movie has a budget of 150 million dollars in 2018. It seems to have much more success in terms of its success in the cinema and its numerical box office value. The sequel The Meg 2: The Trench is currently being shown in theaters and looks like it will achieve similar success.

   I think the biggest disadvantage of the sequels is the disconnection from the story. I was wondering if this would happen in Meg 2 and I would satiate my curiosity but that will be tomorrow's topic. Make do with The Meg movie today! Shark, I recommend watching the movie to anyone who wants to experience the tension that human stories offer. For Meg 2: The Tench, you may be familiar with the story beforehand. Good luck to those who will watch.

   Greetings movie lovers. On the weekend, after doing my workouts, I wanted to see a shark movie, but I didn't know which one to choose, since all the ones I've seen have the same plot, the same story and I think it's the same old thing. So from so much searching I decided to watch Megalodon a movie that boats a bit of action and science fiction, released in 2018, I had started watching it once, but this time I finished watching it in full. I realized that so many unexpected things happen during the whole plot of this movie, which are a bit scary, I can't imagine swimming among sharks. I wouldn't know what to do if something like this movie ever happened to me.

   Saludos amantes del cine. El fin de semana, luego de hacer mis entrenamientos, quería ver una película de tiburones, pero no sabía cuál escoger, ya que todas las que he visto tienen la misma trama, la misma historia y pienso que es lo mismo de siempre. Así que de tanto buscar decidí ver Megalodón una película que barca un poco de acción y ciencia ficción, estrenada en el año 2018, yo la había empezado a ver en una oportunidad, pero esta vez termine de verla completa. Me di cuenta de que suceden muchísimas cosas inesperadas durante toda la trama de esta película, que dan un poco de temor, no me imagino nadar entre tiburones. No sabría qué hacer si alguna vez me sucediera algo así como en esta película.

   At the beginning of this movie I found it very interesting to see all those technological equipment so modern and luxurious to study everything that is found in the depths of the sea, I would like to be part of that team and spend a day in those laboratories, but that requires many years of study, really like the sea and all its mysteries, even so it would be an unforgettable experience. As I watched the film, it showed the marine beauties that are under the sea, seeing all those fish, whales and even large reefs seemed incredible to me, plus the dedication and affection that all this team had to continue discovering new species is something wonderful. However, an unexpected situation happens for them, I never expected it, the scare was so big for me that I was about to stop watching the movie, but I told myself I have to continue until the end to see what happens and continue.

   Al principio de esta película me pareció muy interesante ver todos esos equipos tecnológicos tan modernos y lujosos para estudiar todo lo que se encuentra en las profundidades del mar, me gustaría formar parte de ese equipo de trabajo y pasar un día en esos laboratorios, pero eso requiere de muchos años de estudio, gustarle de verdad el mar y todos sus misterios, aun así sería una experiencia inolvidable. A medida que veía la película se mostraba las bellezas marinas que hay debajo en el mar, ver todos esos peces, ballenas e incluso grandes arrecifes me pareció increíble, además la dedicación y cariño que tenía todo este equipo para seguir descubriendo nuevas especies es algo maravilloso. Sin embargo, pasa una situación inesperada para ellos, yo nunca me lo esperaba, el susto fue tan grande para mí que estuve a punto de no seguir viendo la película, pero me dije tengo que seguir hasta el final para ver qué sucede y continúe.

   In the movie we are going to meet people like Jonas, dedicated scientists and many specialists who do great, they get into the role, they show an incredible aptitude, always looking for a solution to any problem or any inconvenience that arises, they did not stay with what they were told if they do not continue investigating, since being in the middle of the sea and a few meters under water, I think it is not easy at all. In addition, this group of people take on a very difficult challenge and that is to rescue people, decisions that must be taken with a lot of security by the fact that it puts at risk the lives of many people, but the courage and desire to save his companions was very large, this is where my curiosity increased, to know if they returned alive or not from the depths of the sea.

   En la película nos vamos a encontrar con personas como Jonas, científicos dedicados y muchos especialistas que lo hacen estupendo, se meten en el papel, demuestran una aptitud increíble, siempre buscaban una solución a cualquier problema o a cualquier inconveniente que surja, no se quedaban con lo que le decían si no siguen investigando, ya que encontrarse en medio del mar y a unos cuantos metros debajo del agua, creo que no es nada fácil. Además, este grupo de personas asumen un desafío bastante difícil y es rescatar a las personas, decisiones que hay que saber tomarlas con mucha seguridad por el hecho de que pone en riesgo la vida de muchas personas, pero la valentía y ganas de salvar a sus demás compañero era muy grande, es aquí donde mi curiosidad aumentaba, saber si regresaban con vida o no de las profundidades del mar.

   I continued watching it, it was very different from other shark movies, the plot was different. I realized the fear felt by the person who took on the challenge of going down to the sea, as they encountered a giant creature that they never imagined existed, for me it was a moment of despair to see those people struggling to save others risking their lives, waiting for the right moment so they could rise to the surface. They could not make any mistake, since the lives of many people were at risk, and they had to do it as fast as possible, to finish with a giant shark that swam through the waters so fast that sometimes they could not even see it. I thought that this would be the end of the movie, that no one would be able to defeat this huge shark and it would remain alive forever.

   Continúe viéndola, ya era muy distinta a la demás películas de tiburones, él trama era distinto. Me di cuenta del miedo que sintieron la persona que asumieron el desafío de bajar al mar, ya que se encontraron con una criatura gigante que jamás se imaginaron que existía, para mí fue un momento de desesperación ver a esas personas luchar por salvar a los demás arriesgando sus vidas, esperando el momento justo para que pudieran subir a la superficie. No podían cometer ningún error, ya que estaba en riesgo la vida de muchas personas, además tenían que hacerlo lo más rápido posible, para acabar con un tiburón gigante que nadaba por las aguas con mucha rapidez, que en ocasiones ni lo podían ver. Yo pensé que este sería el fin de la película, que nadie iba a poder con ese enorme tiburón y quedaría vivo por siempre.

   One of the parts that I liked the most is how Jonas ends up with such a big dress, I could not believe what he was doing and he even had only a knife, I think it was very stressful and desperate to see him in this situation. I think for me it was the most exciting part of the whole movie, I felt very happy and happy to know that he made a very difficult decision, however, he was able to come out very well, it was for the good of all, he was not carried away by nerves, fear, as it was a huge megalodon.

   Una de las partes que más me gusto es como Jonas acaba con esta vestía tan grande, no podía creer lo que estaba haciendo e incluso tenía solamente un cuchillo, creo que fue muy estresante y desesperante verlo en esta situación. Creo que para mí fue la parte más emocionante de toda la película, me sentí muy contento y feliz saber que tomo una decisión muy difícil, sin embargo, pudo salir muy bien, era por el bien de todos, no se dejó llevar los nervios, el miedo, ya que era un enorme megalodón.

   This movie for me is the best shark movie I've seen, with very good special effects, a lot of imagination of the author of the film. When I finished watching it I asked myself a series of questions: Would there have been a shark like this ?, would I swim with sharks of this size, I do not know?. However, it conveys that we can all overcome our fears, and we must be prepared before any situation of this type, either with more equipment, more people and a lot of knowledge of the sea and the possible animals that exist. It also transmits values, such as teamwork, companionship and love.

   Esta película para mí es la mejor que visto de tiburones, con muy buenos efectos especiales, mucha imaginación del autor de la película. Cuando termine de verla me hice una serie de preguntas ¿Habrá existido un tiburón así? ¿Nadaría con tiburones de este tamaño?, no lo sé. Sin embargo, nos transmite que todo podemos superar nuestros miedos, además debemos estar preparados antes cualquier situación de este tipo, ya sea con más equipo, más personas y muchos conocimientos del mar y los posibles animales que existan. También trasmite valores, como el trabajo en equipo, compañerismo y amor.

4. ›Insomniac Movie Marathon: The Meg@rvgenaille2395d

   

   Jason Statham! A giant, prehistoric shark! How can we lose?!?

   We can’t!

   This is a b-movie that lovingly rips off Jaws and is a lot of fun without descending into the schlocky silliness of the Sharknado franchise.

   Statham is Jonas, an undersea rescue type who is grounded until he has to rescue his ex-wife from a previously unexplored part of the ocean. In the rescue, things go awry and a megaladon escapes the protected area and is unleashed on the rest of the ocean.

   Jonas and crew must stop it and they try several times.

   It’s a lot of fun and I quite enjoyed it.

   Worth checking out!

6. ›The Meg (film): Bad! I mean really bad@gooddream2821d

   I can honestly say that this is the worst movie that I have seen in years. Years. I feel as though i deserve some sort of award for having sat through all of it.

   

   I'm not going to get into specifics because I couldn't bear to focus that much on this movie. Basically a bunch of researchers are doing some stuff really deep in the ocean and and really proud of themselves for being the first people other than James Cameron to do research at such a massive depth. I think it was 12,000 feet, i don't remember. Anyway, they accidentally stumble upon a massive shark and then accidentally do something to the thermocline in order to allow it to come to the surface and now they have to kill it! before.... well i presume before it wipes out humanity I guess.

   

   The methods that they use in order to track and kill the "Meg" are increasingly absurd, and of course most of these methods involve the sending of a single person to a position where they have to be rescued by Jason Statham in some capacity or another.

   

   I don't want to say that this is a direct ripoff of Jaws because that would be far too obvious. What I do think this is, is an actually very clever mix of western stars with Chinese stars in order to attract a Chinese audience at the box office. Well, plenty of USA people went to see it as well but overall the "international" box office was what made this movie make a bunch of money.

   Perhaps I am being cruel, but this movie is just completely ridiculous and well, I didn't like it at all. Maybe I am looking at it the wrong way. Perhaps it is meant to be over-the-top in a comedy-type-sense. If that is the case than well, I would give it a few extra points.

   You can see all of what is going to happen just in the trailer, but now imagine that Jason Statham is going to have to go on a string of single-handed rescue missions that become more and more absurd as time goes by. That is essentially the movie. Good luck! Points awarded only for CGI, which should be pretty incredible seeing as how they spent nearly 200 million on this turd.

   The only good thing that happened was that this little princess was spared (although many others were not)

7. ›"The Meg" by Jon Turteltaub - movie review@godflesh2869d

   The year is 1975. Still little known director Steven Spielberg and a team of legendary actors create a thriller that changes the history of cinema. "Jaws" becomes the most successful film for his time, and later in an unforgettable classic that manages to influence people to the point that some are afraid to swim alone at sea. The year is now 2018. Shark horror films are already a great deal (I would say too much). This list also includes "The Meg". After an underwater expedition in which top diver Jonas Tyler (Jason Statham) faces a strange creature of enormous size, he makes a fatal decision, then refuses to dive for the rest of his days.

   

   Years later, however, the most modern underwater lab makes an expedition that discovers that the deepest point of the ocean is far from being its limit - a world unfolding under it. During the expedition in question, the submarine team was attacked by ... you guessed it! An unfamiliar creature of enormous size, and it is necessary to seek a rescue exit. The team includes Laurie (Jessica McNammy), Jonas's ex-wife. And he will have to fight the demons of his past to get back into the depths of the ocean. In fact, the team of underwater experts is a prehistoric beast - Megalodon, which is about 4 times larger than the white shark. Over the years, movies that include underwater monsters are, in most cases, a rather bloody and horrible horror, flying limbs, guts, pounds of blood, and similar details. In this movie (and that's one of the few things I've appreciated in it) things do not look so bad - at least bloodshed is much less than the vision we're used to associating with other similar titles. As a spectator who has watched films of all genres and different qualities, I knew what to expect - and the creative team behind this project. Even with such low expectations, I was still very disappointed. The lack of logic in what is happening is not even one of the problems that is worth commenting, because in such a type of film the goal is rather entertainment without the need for credibility.

   One of the main problems, however, is the excessive experience of comic moments in the dialogue. In any situation (even those in which their life is under serious threat), the characters did not stop to shake their badly written and often awkward jokes. In fact, it did not bother me to worry, even for a moment, about their destiny. At least I was able to appreciate their sense of humor ... Like most badly made American movies, there was another major problem. We know that cinema is a visual art - everything is possible for most things to show, not to say. Here, however, we are constantly flooded with unnecessary information, which in no way helps the story. Or scientific, to explain something quite complicated, which we will hardly remember, or - even worse - the danger information we have seen in the previous picture. At times I had the feeling that even if I close my eyes, I would still understand absolutely everything that is happening. It's a movie that can be safely released on the radio. One must not miss a wonderful combination of absolutely every known painted moment - from predictable relationships, through a protagonist who fights his past, to scenes with a bluish-determined vision and grading-emotional music. There is everything! A lot! Only the US flag was missing in every second shot. And it is clear that there is a mandatory political retreat experience - the team is made up of Americans, African Americans, Asians, and Indians to avoid being angry and / or offended.

   

   The audience is aware that when watching a movie with Jason Statham, his character will be just immortal. Even if all known gods appear and they ride huge sharks that launch skyscraper-sized rackets, I would still put my money on Statham. There are a lot of such films with him, whose action scenes are well-resolved - with a stirring mozzincense, good technical performance and enough attraction to distract the audience and not to think much about logic. Here, however, such moments were missing. Much of the shark collisions are flat and often filled with dynamically cut shots that are totally incomprehensible. There were no surprising twists or unexpected things. Everything we suppose to happen in the scene in question is exactly the same. The special effects are far from the capabilities of high-budget American masters in this area. The shark in Jaws looks better and sometimes more straightforward than that, even 43 years later, which is really ridiculous. The potential of 3D cinema was not used at all.

8. ›Insomniac Film Festival #81: The Meg@rvgenaille2872d

   

   Jason Statham! A giant, prehistoric shark! How can we lose?!?

   We can’t!

   This is a b-movie that lovingly rips off Jaws and is a lot of fun without descending into the schlocky silliness of the Sharknado franchise.

   Statham is Jonas, an undersea rescue type who is grounded until he has to rescue his ex-wife from a previously unexplored part of the ocean. In the rescue, things go awry and a megaladon escapes the protected area and is unleashed on the rest of the ocean.

   Jonas and crew must stop it and they try several times.

   It’s a lot of fun and I quite enjoyed it.

   Worth checking out!

9. ›The Meg - Movie Review@coldsteem2877d

   

   My wife and I have been using Moviepass for the past year. Slowly, but surely, Moviepass has gone downhill. We went from being able to see almost any first run movie one year ago (one per day) to having complete blackout days. Moviepass is dying a slow death. We paid for a year in advance, so we are still using it when we can. Yesterday, our options were limited to two movies. The Meg or Slenderman. Neither film necessarily appealed to me, but The Meg seemed better than Slenderman which is sitting at a paltry 3.2 on IMDb. So, The Meg it was.

   

   Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) is a washed up deep sea researcher. After his mental health was challenged following a deep, deep sea rescue, Taylor opted for a simpler life in Thailand. Taylor is pressed back into service to pull off another deep sea rescue mission when researchers at a rig off the coast of China are faced with a damaged submersible deep beneath the China Sea. Taylor may have passed on the mission. However, his ex-wife Lori (Jessica McNamee) is among the crew trapped at the bottom of the ocean.

   After completing the mission, the research facility is faced with another problem. It seems a megadalon shark has managed to find it's way to the surface where it wreaking havoc. A team from the research facility is faced with tracking and killing the massive creature which is leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Taylor is joined by the project manager Zhang (Winston Chao), his daughter Suyin (Bingbing Li), DJ (Page Kennedy), the Wall (Olafur Darri Olafsson), Jaxx (Ruby Rose) and the project financier, Morris (Rainn Wilson). Together, they must battle the massive beast in an epic battle that casts a nod to the Jaws franchise of the 1970s.

   

   It's probably a bad pun, but I'm going with it anyway. The Meg jumped the shark. In an attempt to create an homage to the 1970s Jaws franchise, John Turtletaub delivers an over-the-top film filled with contrivance and predictability. The film has an interesting perspective, but manages to use a heavy hand rather than giving us characters we can care about and a plot that we can...well, sink our teeth into. In terms of action, suspense and special effects, the film delivers. If you are in for mindless fun, you won't be disappointed. Just don't expect to care about the outcome. Heck, you may even find yourself rooting for the shark.

   

   Our little Jaws is all grown up. We have gone from a remote control animatronic shark to a full-fledged yacht-sized CGI-mastered beast. The special effects in The Meg appear to have eaten most of the 150 million (plus) budget. With a box office hovering around 50 million, this film probably won't lose money. Particularly among the 1970s crowd eager to see an old franchise with a new look. While the inspiration for this film was centered on the characters and the beach where they resided, this film takes place in the middle of the China Sea, centered on the research facility and workers. While campy, the original had much better characters and exceedingly greater tension. We get a brief Jaws-like scene near the end of this film, but nothing like the massive seat-gripping terror of the film that almost certainly inspired this one. Having said that, the graphics were rendered well, successfully transporting us to the bottom of the ocean or into a battle with nature that looms large.

   

   Jason Statham is an action star. He always seems to find films with high speed action. And flat characters. It almost seems a curse. If I see his name in the credits, I seldom expect much in the form of character development. The few attempts at it in this film felt flat. But Statham is Statham...when it comes to action, he delivers. Wilson was decent as a mildly likeable sleazebag billionaire. Li is an attractive love interest, but only mildly interesting. Masi Oka makes an appearance as Toshi. I loved him in the Heroes series. I also like Cliff Curtis from the Fear the Walking Dead show. Both have smaller roles in this film. Overall, the casting was okay. For a film of this type, Statham was probably the right choice.

   

   Several of the cast members in The Meg are shark bait. Most are eaten whole. But there are quite a few scenes where characters are killed by the shark. The film easily earned a PG-13 rating from the MPAA and may have been flirting with an R rating for the violence. The film isn't excessively gory, although an arm is pulled from the water in one scene. The film has a bit of strong language and plenty of tension. Overall, the PG-13 rating is wisely applied. All things considered, I would probably only limit this film from children who are prone to nightmares. No need to have kids waking up with the shark sweats.

   

   The Meg felt to me like a poorly conceived attempt to revive the Jaws franchise of the 1970s. Turtletaub is no Spielberg. While the film had great action, awesome CGI and plenty of scares, it lacks character development and credibility. Jaws was scary because it seemed plausible. The Meg takes things too far. The film is interesting to watch, if only for the visual appeal. It is a tense, larger-than-life film. But you have to go in expecting mindless fun. The characters are flat, the story contrived and the concept unbelievable. Take it for what it is. It might be fun to watch on the big screen, but the quality of the story is one I would recommend for a rainy day streaming. Only if its free. 5.5/10.

11. ›THE MEG Jason Statham is back@mediaguy2998d

    I have been missing Jason Statham. He is back in this movie set in the near future where a giant ancient megladon shark attacks a research station. I am going to watch it for Statham.
