The Meg review – Jason Statham is left all at sea

There’s an argument to be made that all you really need for a halfway decent summer action movie is Jason Statham and something for Jason Statham to punch.

 

Any film that fulfils those basic criteria can’t be all bad.

 

In The Meg, Statham’s target is a 70ft prehistoric shark, or megalodon, hitherto imprisoned under an icy barrier of hydrogen sulphide in an ocean realm deeper than the Mariana Trench.

 

It’s tempting to assume that all fin flicks are direct descendants of the big daddy of them all, Jaws.

I’m a film buff. I try and catch most movies at their cinema screenings, where they’re meant to be watched. I watched this film in 3D. Here’s my review:

 

The only actor in this film that could act was the shark. The water was a decent supporting actor. The shark also had the best dialogue.

 

Save your money. The end.

 

p.s.

Also, the 3D game me a headache.

Mrs T loved it. So much so, that she dragged one of our visiting kids (who reads, and re-reads Shakespeare in her spare time) to watch it a second time. I am almost ashamed to admit this, but my spawn kinda enjoyed the cursed film too. There’s no accounting for taste.
