Meg 2: The Trench

“Back for seconds.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 67, rated by 1 admin.

Why it’s crap
An expedition below the ocean's familiar depths uncovers monsters, industrial wrongdoing and another emergency for Jason Statham. The sequel eventually lets its star attack a megalodon from a jet ski. Familiar disaster clichés surround a finale that understands the appeal of a spectacularly unreasonable solution.
