Meg 2: The Trench. A sequel to the 2018 film The Meg.
The meg was a movie about a research team who found there was a fog layer in the bottom of the mariana trench, when they went to explore it they found that in the untouched bottom of the trench there were megalodons. After they found the shark it damaged the vehicle prompting a rescue mission, but when they did they accidentally let the megalodons escape. They attempted to slay the beast and they did until they realized there were two. After losing many people they kill the shark.
Official trailer for Meg 2: The Trench.
There were giant shark free until the events of Meg 2 unfold, they discover a secret mining operation and barely escape their watery deaths under the mariana trench. After they return to their station they must retake their office from the mining operators. After they retake their office and escape they must kill the beasts. They track the prehistoric predators and chase them to a popular beach destination. Disaster strikes and the tourists swim for their lives, meanwhile the people on land must deal with dinosaurs coming from the forest. After a long fight and a jumpscare from the kraken they restore peace.
The movie isn’t good, and it’s not realistic. Giant sharks couldn't come from the marinara trench because they would deform from the lack of pressure. Despite this it’s still entertaining as a thrilling action movie. The movie did well overseas mostly because of its collaboration with china. It’s a cash grab with a bad plot but it’s fun. My only complaint is the tiny dog survived the first and second movie, it survived longer than the majority of the characters. In conclusion the movie was bad but entertaining.
"While not quite as good as its predecessor, The Meg 2: The Trench is an enjoyable popcorn film that manages to tell a fun story for a few hours."
