In addition, I’d argue that the movie walks the proper line between goofy creature spoof and serious scientists-in-peril, staging a handful of pulse-racing underwater set pieces that had more tension and chills than like-minded summer blockbusters.
The Meg delivers everything that you want out of a ‘Jason Statham versus a Giant Shark’ movie, so if you are paying for that ticket, you won’t leave disappointed.
This isn’t even a guilty pleasure, it’s just plain fun.
