The plot is quite satisfactory, but the special effects are ok

After watching "The Megalodon", it is a quite satisfactory and quite bright adventure thriller movie. The film tells the story of a group of people who explored the unknown area of ​​the seabed, accidentally released the prehistoric megalodon, and finally went through hardships to kill it.

As far as the plot is concerned, as an adventure thriller movie, it is qualified to have a reasonable plot, and I believe that few people come to watch it to tell the story.

Why is it said that it is quite satisfactory and quite bright? The highlight is that this film takes the audience on an underwater adventure very well. If it is watched by someone with some deep-sea phobia, then the excitement is doubled - I am. Compared with other films, it takes the audience from the ground into the deep sea, and it has the elements of the deep sea - huge, empty, quiet, unknown, lost, fear, overcoming fear, excitement, fear. The preceding words, in order of arrangement, are the sensory experience of watching movies, emotional accumulation, layer upon layer progression, and thrilling excitement. Compared with other thriller movies, such as ghost movies, python disaster, biochemical crisis, etc., they are also scary and exciting. Most of the senses they give the audience are "fear", and this film is more than "fear". Most of them are "fear", which is "fear after conquering nature".

As an adventure thriller, this film also has "heroes" and "beauties". It is worth mentioning that this "beauty" is a "heroic beauty". It can be regarded as a couple killing the fish.

In addition, I have to say that the original intention of watching this film is for the special effects. It is true that the special effects are very good, and it can be seen that the cost is huge, but to be honest, I am a little disappointed. Extreme fear, happiness, and sadness are all thin, and complex emotions can make people experience a higher-structured aesthetic. The beauty of the sea”, the quiet, ethereal, magnificent, and unknown of the sea are all limited in performance. If they can be well reflected, it will definitely be a deep-sea feast. This is probably why poppy is synonymous with "fascinating".

The movie is rated 7 out of 10 and is worth recommending.
