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.

While The Meg (2018) seemingly didn’t impress the critics, it took a massive chunk out of the box office, leading to a sequel being greenlit. And Meg 2: The Trench is a chip off the old block. While it may have a paper thin plot, Meg 2: The Trench is still dumb, bombastic blockbuster fun. 

​

Picking up from the original Meg 2: The Trench dives straight into a pretty predictable plot that leads to more megalodon and spoiler alert, gigantic octopus, destruction. The majority of the characters aren’t developed further than one dimension and there are plot and character choices that are pretty, unintentionally, hilarious. Also, some of the CGI is pretty questionable. Did I mention there were dinosaurs in it too? Yes, you read correctly. There are dinosaurs. And some terrorists. 
 

But that’s what makes these kinda movies so damn entertaining. They’re a B-grade creature feature, that doesn’t take itself too seriously and neither should we. We know we’ve gotta suspend so much belief and that it's all incredibly far fetched. But that’s what makes it so good. And you can’t help but chuckle along, tuck into your popcorn, and enjoy this crazy, ludicrous ride.
