A bit annoying

Cool is cool, but stereotypes are too obvious! Ah Jun's self-sacrificing collectivism; the super invincible masterpiece female bride thought her dog was eaten by sharks while swimming, and complained to the groom that "my wedding ruined you and killed Pippi" (this has nothing to do with the groom! She clearly has been holding the dog all the time) , the dog slipped away from her own hands, not to mention that the groom ate the dog!); the prehistoric giant shark was regarded as a prank by the authorities and refused to provide assistance to the protagonist group; three Chinese people drove a helicopter to watch the fun and patronize I forgot to watch the plane while watching the fun, but ended up crashing together, blowing up and destroying the rescue boats of the protagonists (I laughed angrily when I saw this).

And don't be lyrical, you will be embarrassed when you are lyrical: when a purely supporting role dies, everyone is actually shocked, and even in a mood to laugh.

There is a sad shot: there is a lot of plastic waste on the reefs of the Sanya Bay Offshore Recreation Area? Very real.

The best part is that the heroine's father denies that they found the megalodon as an "achievement": We did what people always do, discover and then destroy. This is the most touching thing in the whole film, because after the megalodon appeared I thought they would reintroduce it into the deep sea, so that the ecological balance of the ocean would not be disrupted - who knows if the two they saw were the last two? They killed them all.

The Meg quotes

  • [first lines]

    Jonas Taylor: [on radio] Look at the sonar. Let me know what you find.

    D'Angelo: So far nothing new, my friend. It just keeps getting worse.

  • Dr. Minway Zhang: Since 1875 we've all believed the Mariana Trench was the deepest place on Earth. I've had a theory that we think is the bottom might actually be a layer if hydrogen sulfide. Beneath that cloud, and a freezing cold thermocline there could be a completely different world.

    Jack Morris: Wow.

    Suyin: The Origin is about to see if my father is right. If there is warm water below, that means we're going to be the first to see it.

    Jack Morris: And what if you're wrong?

    Dr. Minway Zhang: Then you have wasted $1.3 billion.

    Jack Morris: [laughs] You're kidding. He's kidding, right?
