crew must track and kill the predator before it reaches populated coastal areas. Key Details The Meg - How Awesome Is This #29
In the summer of 2018, cinema audiences were asking a simple question: Just how big can a shark get? The answer arrived in the form of The Meg (often referred to by fans and sequels as The Meg 1 ), a film that unapologetically combined the suspense of Jaws with the unbridled chaos of a kaiju movie.
Led by Zhang’s daughter, Suyin (Li Bingbing), the team pilots a submersible through a mysterious “thermocline” (a cloud of super-cooled hydrogen sulfate) into a previously unknown, warm-water ecosystem trapped at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. They call it “The Meg.”
Directed by Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure) and based on Steve Alten’s 1997 novel Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror , the film introduces us to (Jason Statham). Once a rescue diver for a deep-sea submersible crew, Taylor is haunted by a traumatic incident in the Mariana Trench. During a mission to rescue a damaged nuclear submarine, he abandoned his crew, claiming he saw something massive—something impossible—attack the sub. No one believed him. He was labeled a coward.
