The Meg


A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is that, years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now, teamed with Suyin, he must confront his fears and risk his own life to save everyone trapped below.

This movie was EXACTLY what I had been hoping for.  Totally formula and super cheesy at times but lots of moments that made you jump and get tense even though you pretty much knew what was going to happen.  This was the perfect movie to just go, turn your brain off and enjoy the break from the real world for a while.

I would absolutely recommend this movie to people.  It is a very enjoyable guilty pleasure type of film that works in terms of knowing exactly what to expect and avoiding disappointment and what not.
