(Though that's a 60kg fish, not one that's as long as two school buses.) Actually there's some merit to this view: not only does the Mariana Trench have a much biodiversity than once assumed, scientists have also discovered that species once thought extinct are still around, like the Coelacanth. He then gets a PhD, and flogs this kooky idea wherever possible: that vents at the bottom of the Trench make it possible for life once thought extinct to survive. Meg is the story of Naval diver Jonas Taylor, who thinks he saw a Megalodon on a disastrous dive down the Mariana Trench. So I went for the next best thing: a novel about prehistoric sharks. Only, I've already done the Jurassic Park novels and Red Raptor isn't available for Kindle (or at local bookshops).

So naturally I wanted to read a book about dinosaurs. The teaser ends with Statham leaping into the air on a jetski to face off against a shark with a sword.My daughter is really into dinosaurs. We get more scenes of tourists almost getting eaten, and a tentacled creature eating a helicopter. We then get various monsters attacking by land and by sea, with Statham almost getting eaten by a shark. Jason Statham is recruited again by Cliff Curtis to hunt another giant creature in the trench.īut then, deep underwater, the team starts getting picked off by the biggest meg anyone has ever seen. The T-rex? No, the Meg which eats a T-rex. The trailer opens with two land-bound prehistoric monsters eating a large bug, with onscreen text warning that for 65 million years one species ruled the world. “They’re back for seconds,” the trailer eventually declares, echoing the tongue-in-cheek tone of the first film’s marketing campaign. And now “The Meg 2” will try and repeat that performance. It was the first and thus-far only big-budget Hollywood/Chinese co-production that qualified as a success on both shores. That cume was bigger than any giant monster movie save for “Kong: Skull Island” ($569 million in 2017) and the various “Jurassic” movies. Well, “The Meg” earned $155 million in North America and $155 million in China toward a $530 million global total. “The Meg 2: The Trench” is one of the more under-the-radar tentpoles this summer, even though it may end up being one of the biggest global grossers.
