Review of The Meg (2018) by Axet — 16 Aug 2018

Slightly more serious and well crafted USA/China co-production than the assumed D grade flick advertised, starting off that is, only to start... No surprise this thing rips off "Jaws" taking it to beyond absurd levels (it doesn't just jump the shark, it rocket launches it), but it downright apes scene after scene to the point it's not clear if all an homage or the makers think they can just repackage guilt free and way over-the-top for today's pushover audience (one joke certainly is an obvious nod to fans).

Overall you can't be disappointed because you knew what you were in for, yet nonetheless it's too bad because the high concept here is a natural that was inevitable to be made and now that it has a much better version was not.
