The Meg
Rent & Buy
A deep sea submersible pilot revisits his past fears in the Mariana Trench, and accidentally unleashes the seventy foot ancestor of the Great White Shark believed to be extinct.
What critics thought
Critics landed in a frustrating middle ground with The Meg — it's neither the gloriously trashy creature feature nor the genuinely thrilling blockbuster it could have been. Audiences were considerably warmer than reviewers, suggesting the film plays better when you're not weighing it against its potential.
