🎬🌟 ‘మెగ్ 2 (Meg 2)’ Movie Review: More Sharks More Hate 🎥🎨
It is based on the 1999 novel The Trench by Steve Alten. Serving as the sequel to The Meg (2018), the film stars Jason Statham, Wu Jing, Sophia Cai, Page Kennedy, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Skyler Samuels, and Cliff Curtis.
Story Glimpse:
Jonas Taylor leads a 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, prehistoric sharks and relentless environmental plunderers, they must outrun, outsmart and outswim their merciless predators.
Technical Aspects:
- Direction: Ben Wheatley’s Meg 2 lacks the fun and excitement one would expect. While the movie delivers action, wild creatures, and summer blockbuster mayhem, there’s a noticeable lack of enthusiasm. The action scenes feel disjointed, the dialogue is clumsy, and the film’s ending leaves us feeling indifferent.
- Sound: The sound design enhances the movie’s theme, providing a cinematic experience
- Other Departments: Entire Team of the movie contributed significantly to its completion, but their efforts may not have fully resonated with the audience
Highlights:
- Action Sequences with a Touch of Predictability
- Thrilling Encounters with Wild Creatures
Final Verdict: Stick with OTT Releases!
