Get ready for the ultimate adrenaline rush this summer in "Meg 2: The Trench," a literally larger-than-life thrill ride that supersizes the 2018 blockbuster and takes the action to higher heights and even greater depths with multiple massive Megs and so much more! Dive into uncharted waters with Jason Statham and global action icon Wu Jing as they lead a daring research team on an exploratory dive into the deepest depths of the ocean. Their voyage spirals into chaos when a malevolent mining operation threatens their mission and forces them into a high-stakes battle for survival. Pitted against colossal Megs and relentless environmental plunderers, our heroes must outrun, outsmart, and outswim their merciless predators in a pulse-pounding race against time. Immerse yourself in the most electrifying cinematic experience of the year with "Meg 2: The Trench" -- where the depths of the ocean are matched only by the heights of sheer, unstoppable excitement!

Things might have felt more perilous with more finessed CGI.

Observer

What’s perhaps most damning about this big dumb shark movie, however, is how little it actually pays attention to its fine finned friends.

Rated: 2/4

Extinction was a kinder fate to Megalodon than this megalo-dung of a film.

Dread Central

Meg 2: The Trenchis more meg, good, bad, and indifferently. Whether this franchise can sustain the swelling digital carnage remains to be seen, though as an exercise in creature feature excessThe Trenchdelivers.

Rated: 3/5

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Cathy The story line made me laugh. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Mr. Hollywood Not as fun as the first one but overall not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Nothing new here but what else can you expect from a movie about a large type shark Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/21/23 Full Review TotallyNotTheMeg I looked at the reviews for this movie before seeing it and the diversity between the 1 star and 5 star reviews with the exact same reasons for loving/hating it only made me more excited. Its silly, big, corny, dramatic, and one of the most fun shark movies I have ever seen. Definitely worth the watch! 🦈 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
