Much better than expected

The high-level production that a B-level film can come up with requires acting and acting skills, good looks and good looks, and curiosity, as well as scientific knowledge that is more in line with common sense. The looming megalodon brings a lot of tension to the plot, and the rendering of the atmosphere is excellent. The director especially likes to use the figure of the innocent little girl to highlight the cruelty and ruthlessness of the megalodon and its huge physique. I like this kind of treatment very much, it is similar to the opening paragraph of Stephen Chow's Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.

The setting of the double boss is still a bit far-fetched, because there was no explicit or implied existence of the second shark before, so it is quite surprising that this suddenly appeared.

It is a relatively successful commercial film and a qualified product on the Hollywood popcorn assembly line. The production is excellent, and there are also Chinese elements. It is normal to sell so well, but that's all.

Zhao Wenxuan's role as Li Bingbing's father is still relatively reluctant in terms of appearance.

  • 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?
