Review of The Meg (2018) by Kiwijinxter — 28 Dec 2018

Better than "Jaws". There, I said it. This movie actually took me by surprise, simply because I didn't set any expectations upfront. And that is how anyone should approach this movie.

There are a good number of upsides to this movie. Firstly, I generally like Jason Statham (and of course, Cliff Curtis), he certainly adds some weight to movies due to his intensity. Secondly, there's a mix of cute and dark humour thrown in for fun. Thirdly, the CGI mostly looks fantastic and realistic, especially the silhouette of the Mega ominously swimming underneath people. Lastly, I like the fact that the climax is great and layered, so it's not boring or ho-hum.
