Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn real life, Jason Statham is extremely comfortable in the water. He was a competitive diver, competing in Olympic trials in 1985 and representing England in the 1990 Commonwealth Games.
- GoofsOwing to the general lack of sunlight at deeper sea levels, the Meg should realistically not be able to see at all as it surfaces, since the greater volume of light up there is much more overwhelming than what it's been accustomed to for millions of years. The book gets this right and has the important reoccurring plot-point that the Meg only surfaces at night because the sunlight hurts its eyes.

Featured review
This movie was similar to Jaws apart from the under-sea action. The megaladon was actually very realistic n the cgi was amazing.
The actors did a great job with their characters n were all likeable.
There were some tense moments n a little bit of suspense but overall it was a straight up film.
The cinematography was brilliant.
Everything was pretty much predictable n the ending was too.
I recommend this movie if you like creature features, action n suspense.
