'Meg 2: The Trench' Review: Jason Statham Jumps Bigger Sharks
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.Five years after Jason Statham first punched a giant shark, Meg 2: The Trench comes to theaters to deliver a sequel that’s bigger in every aspect. There are more underwater monsters, higher stakes, and action set pieces that are even more over-the-top than in The Meg.
In the sequel, Statham’s Jonas Taylor has fully embraced his role as the dad of Meiying Zhang , now a rebellious 14-year-old that’s eager to explore the trench. Meiying’s mother, Suyin Zhang , was written out of the sequel so now Jonas shares his parental responsibilities with Meiying’s uncle, Jiuming , who has taken over the research center.
Their world has changed a lot in comparison to the first movie and the Mana One crew are now rather used to dealing with megalodons. So, to put fear back into their hearts, Wheatley dives deeper into the trench, bringing new creatures and situations to torment Jonas. The lack of natural light in the trench sometimes gets in the way of audiences following the attacks of these new creatures.
'Meg 2: The Trench' Fails to Deliver Engaging Action Due to the introduction of human enemies, Meg 2: The Trench uses Statham’s long history as a martial artist to create many fistfights that are supposed to be electrifying. Sadly, Wheatley’s close-quarters framing of these scenes, in addition to some over-editing, makes most of the action bland and hard to follow. That only gets worse in the movie’s expansive third act when heroes, mercenary villains, and sea creatures converge.
