After the incredibly stressful spring and summer I've had, I really, truly needed a paint-by-the-numbers, fun Saturday matinee movie, and The Meg delivered.
Even though this movie was just released, there's not a lot of surprises, so I'm not giving my usual SPOILERS warning.
You're going to know who dies and who lives. There's plenty of Jason half-naked beefcake scenes. There's the adorable kid who believes in our hero. Not a whole lot of smoochies between our hero and his co-star because this is a Chinese coproduction, but lots of megalodon-related jump scares.
And of course, our hero saves the adorable Yorkie swimming for her life in the trailers from the giant shark.
Like I said, just a damn fun popcorn movie.
Overall, I give The Meg 10 stars out of 10 for not pretending to be anything thing other than a damn enjoyable B movie.
