THE MEG (2018). >>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >
After reading a review of this, JUST had to check it out as it sounded like pure hokum. And hokum it is, but really not as bad as I was thinking and actually more engaging than I thought it would it be without being as. condescending as most current movies tend to be.
Jason Statham goes Mano a Mano with a 75 foot Great White Shark after a bad experience some years back. Decent CGI and really no character annoyed me ( the uber Yuppie comes close) and even the kid is tolerable.
A LOT of lifting from JAWS towards the end: A dog named "Pippin", an truly annoying kid whining about going out on his raft and a beach panic.
Not great, but worth a look or two. ***
