Based on Meg: A novel of Deep Terror by Steve Alten, a crew of scientists get trapped under the sea after their nuclear submarine got damaged. In the attempt to save all his crew, Jonas Taylor sees the hull being rammed by an unidentified creature, he is forced to flee, leaving two of his members in the damaged submersible. A few years down the line, billionaire Jack Morris meets Dr. Minway Zhang at the underwater research facility Mana One. Zhang and his oceanographer daughter Suyin supervise a mission to explore what turns out to explore what turns out to be a deeper section of the Mariana Trench. Along the way in their mission, with a submersible piloted by Japanese scientist, Toshi and Taylors ex-wife, they get attacked by a large creature that causes the submersible to lose control.

Taylor gets contacted by the Mana One manager to come to the rescue. With the help of Suyin, they go down the sea to discover what this creature might be. They discover that it is a large shark called a megalodon or the Meg which was believed to be extinct. The crew works on capturing the Meg, just after they’ve killed it, a second even larger Meg is revealed, making their mission a lot more harder.

The director did a great job in directing this film scene because the scenes clearly link with each other and the cast that was selected was just the perfect people for this movie. Their acting is so phenomenal, one can see the relation between them. The likes of Jason Statham, who has starred in several action movies, gave this film just the right feeling it needed.

The editor of the film made the movie to have a real feeling in a sense that the viewer becomes glued to the screen to see the end. Also, the sound effects make the film even more interesting. The special effects like when the Meg grabs on to the submersible with its sharp teeth make the film jaw dropping. The music that was selected for each scene blends in just correctly with each scene, especially with the help of the cinematography (visuals) that are so appealing.

It is no wonder why it gets a 5 star rating, this film is good and ideal to watch on a good family movie night, on a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a rating of 9/10.
