A relatively decent monster movie

I would like to say the following

1. The base, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, finally played the biggest role of the base and did not collapse.

2. Finally, there is no villain in the whole film. Even the boss did not abandon others. He will also throw ladders to his teammates who fall into the water at critical moments, instead of hiding in fright like in previous movies. And later I thought about killing the megalodon instead of catching it alive to make money.

3. It's good that there isn't too much senseless sensationalism.

4. Although the emotional scenes made me confused, Li Bingbing felt excited when she saw Guo Da's body. Although this made me rather dazed, fortunately there were not many emotional scenes in the whole film, so I could accept it.

5. You are obviously the top professionals in the world, why are you not so professional when handling things?

6. Wouldn't the megalodon be tired from running around in order to eat one or two people? There are a lot of easy-to-eat delicacies in the ocean. Why do you keep chasing after humans? I feel that it is telling me to give up the big meal at hand, run 5 kilometers, and eat a pea thrown on the ground.

7. I was afraid of the megalodon jumping up and biting down the helicopter. Fortunately not.

8. Li Bingbing is much prettier than Fan Bingbing.

    Still qualified as a popcorn movie. I haven't watched Jason Statham's movies seriously before, but this time I understand why some people look disgusting when they bald their heads, while others are still charming... sigh

    40/100 Half of the people in this world were saved by Dwayne Johnson, and the other half were saved by Guo Da. From the casting and location, it can be seen that the producer's motivation to graft the Hollywood model with the localization of China, but the first whole plot structure is outdated, the second monster is slag, and the third story and scheduling don't care, Not even the kidneys are gone, the character setting is unclear and the division of labor is impetuous, the performance is lazy, and there is no bright spot to speak of.

The Meg quotes

  • Suyin: You couldn't bring Toshi back? Why not?

    Jonas Taylor: He closed the hatch. He saved us.

    Suyin: You left him. You left him because that's who you are. You are the guy who leaves people behind.

    Jonas Taylor: You go that deep, you take your life in your hands. It was your choice to send them down.

  • DJ: You said it was impossible for it to get up here.

    Suyin: It should have been.

    Jaxx: You guys take a look at this. When the glider came up, the thermocline was intact, so it was one degree Celsius.

    Mac: Yeah.

    Jaxx: But a minute later, when the Evolution came up, the temperature increased by 25 degrees. A shark could come right through there. Twenty sharks for that matter.

    Jonas Taylor: When the meg hit the Origin, it slammed into a thermal vent.

    Dr. Minway Zhang: Those can release millions of gallons per minute. The heat from that vent cleared the path through the freezing cold layer.

    Jack Morris: Are you saying we opened up a superhighway for giant sharks?

    Mac: Not exactly. It seems it was a transitory event. The temperatures are returned to normal and the gap is closed.

    DJ: Yeah. But not before a massive prehistoric killing machine decided to come up and say "Hi."
