The Meg Movie Description:
Previously thought to be extinct, a massive creature attacks a deep-sea submersible, leaving it disabled and trapping the crew at the bottom of the Pacific. With time running out, a visionary oceanographer recruits rescue diver Jonas Taylor to save the crew and the sea itself from an unimaginable threat -- a 75-foot-long prehistoric shark known as the Megalodon.
The Meg is a 2018 science fiction action film directed by Jon Turteltaub from a screenplay by Dean Georgaris, Jon Hoeber, and Erich Hoeber, loosely based on the 1997 novel Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror by Steve Alten. The film stars Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose, Winston Chao, and Cliff Curtis. In the plot, a group of scientists encounters a 75-foot-long (23 m) megalodon shark while on a rescue mission on the floor of the Pacific Ocean.
Walt Disney Studios originally purchased the film rights to the novel in the 1990s but spent years in development hell. The rights eventually landed at Warner Bros. Pictures, and the film was green-lit in 2013. Turteltaub and much of the cast joined by September 2014, and filming began in New Zealand and Sanya, China, ending in January 2016.
The Meg was released in the United States on August 10, 2018. It was a box office success and grossed over $530 million worldwide, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics.
A sequel titled Meg 2: The Trench is scheduled to be released in August 2023.

[@Overlord0011]

The funny thing is that I also hate the ocean, but I still love whales, especially humpbacks. If you've heard the stories or seen the videos of them literally going out of their way to protect baby whales, seals, and even people from predators of the sea, you'd like them too.

[@Stayawaaymen]

Whales scare me bc well its long to explain but I like the idea of them I think it's just their size that freaks me out but I also habe thalassophobia

[@jeffohalloran4389]

I went into this movie knowing that it wasn't going to be great. All I wanted was to see Jason Statham fight a giant shark, and on that point this movie did deliver.

[@shainewhite2781]

Based on the 1997 Novel of the same name by Steve Alten. It took them 20 years to make this movie happen as several directors, Guillermo Del Toro, Eli Roth, and Jan De Bont, were considered for the job, from 1999, 2005, 2006, and 2015.

[@TheMarvelousM]

Aw, I wish Guillermo directed it

[@kaylakurosaki4873]

I met the author in middle school, and he was super nice. I hate how the change how the meg got out.

[@GodOfWar221]

Yeah! And the book was awesome. I hate all the changes they made to it, when they could have been more faithful to the source material. I was disappointed when I saw it in theaters as well.

[@shine01120]

The books are awesome. Tense, thrilling. I hate how the movie is so different. It's almost a comedy. Haven't seen the sequel yet, but I'm getting ready to be disappointed 😂

[@GodOfWar221]

@Codename_Vandel technically, Peter Benchley created Jaws, Spielberg made it a cinematic masterpiece

[@RockyDaTherapist]

When will people realize that going into the ocean and messing around is the equivalent of home invasion for sea creatures. They just defending their home when they attack.

[@jaxbra9]

For real! Just like when people say “shark infested waters” - errrmm it’s their home, where else should they be? 😅

Yeah I feel you bro watching anything that has a big emphasis on your phobia is terrifying

[@abc.animal5143]

This movie is a lot of ridiculous fun, doesn’t need to be taken super seriously, but it’s still one of the better shark movies out there. Excited for the second.

[@ginasreview1030]

Fin is the The End in spanish.🤣

[@Stayawaaymen]

I have thalassophobia and when I watched this movie I thought it would help it almost had me in tears like this is why I'm not going in the ocean passed the beach where you can see where it ends like how deep it is you can see the bottom

[@Stayawaaymen]

Also I heard they may be tryna bring back the meg with the wholly mammoth if they do i might simply pass away I might be scared of death but im more scared of the meg and I'm not gonna put up w the meg and getting attacked

[@Stayawaaymen]

I'd rather die on my own terms than by the meg its so bad 😭

[@DanGamingFan2846]

Let's be real, we only one we ever cared about surviving was the dog. This and _Deep Blue Sea_ are easily the best shark movies that aren't _Jaws,_ a movie I can just have fun with. Put it on as well as _Lake Placid_ or _Arachnophobia_ and I'm entertained. That's all I expected from this and I was not disappointed.

[@Alex-dh2cx]

Well, the last dog named pippin in a movie got eaten by a shark, so we were all worried

[@julienielsen4462]

Shark attack 3 Megalodon was pretty good.

[@theroyalcam]

fuck the dog

[@clevelandcbi]

Honestly I think The Shallows with Deadpool's wife whooped both their asses. Jmho. Favorite shark movie outside of Jaws. Agree Deep Blue Sea would be a fun one for people to react to. Especially that holy shit moment nobody saw coming.

[@sarataki4768]

Agree with deep. Blue sea

[@Pochitaman30]

What i love about this movie is Jason Statham 1v1'd the freaking Meg and won😂 I mean he is that guy but killing a 70 foot shark on your own is just ridiculous

[@jayboog716]

I imagine myself running from one the Megalodon in one of those hallways and I step on a Lego 😂😂 at that point I’m just fish food 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheMarvelousM]

In the hallway... cool. Love those crazy dreams.

[@MusicxxRose]

I've never seen this but this was the perfect opportunity to see some parts and how the shark looks along with your commentary! Surprised the jokes aren't better with having a pretty decent cast.

[@Pochitaman30]

The dialogue is terrible. The writers should've come up with a better script. The jump scares and CGI is top notch though thats why its getting a sequel

[@kaliebean03]

[@LexLexxxx]

I feel u bout not doing the ocean because i be gettin scared that something finna grab my leg and drag me under 😅😅

[@ProofOfGrace82]

If you are afraid of the ocean, you definitely should do a reaction to the James Cameron classic The Abyss. It is a drama/thriller with great characters...set in the depths of the sea. 😊

[@k.delpino1124]

Based on a series of books I knew of prior to it's film adaptation. Also Jason Statham's biggest film as an leading man. Saw it in IMAX and loved every minute of it. It's JAWS on Steroids, no doubt about it. Some people were so quick to hate on it for 'Trying to be like JAWS" and by no means necessary is it trying to be. The supporting cast, special effects and set pieces are pretty good. Scenes of characters trying to get away from or fight this monster is either thrilling or hilarious. This is just a really expensive B-movie. Of all the other hundreds of shark-related movies they got made and released, it gets no bigger than this (literally, figuratively). I just saw Part 2 aka The Trench. Not too bad. Longer running time than the first. It has more suspense and humor than the first.

[@jaxbra9]

It’s an okay watch and wouldn’t call it a B-movie. Great for cinema or a nice Sunday afternoon viewing, but let’s not kid ourselves that it was better than what it was. Like I said, it’s a decent watch but everything from facts, casting, and acting could’ve been improved 😇 And you clearly having watched a lot of Jason Statham to think this is his leading film. The man tends to be the lead in films he’s in haha

[@kaylakurosaki4873]

I just saw part 2, and it was a huge disappointment. Couldn't be any farther than the book. The first film I loved, even though they did change stuff from the book. It was still very entertaining.

[@goldenmustache1466]

Every time i hear about Megaladon i remember that i was telling my brothers about him long before this movie was made and people knew about him but they looked at me like i was crazy.

[@thedarkknight2221]

If I wrote this movie I would’ve had Rainn Wilson not just survive but actually kill one of the sharks, because you know Dwight Schrute would go full Captain Ahab if those sharks killed even one of his fellow employees. And he would definitely use a harpoon or katana on them.🤣 Also according to the real life marine biologists, the biggest megaladon (which literally means “big tooth” because it’s teeth were on average 6 inches long) ever grew to was NOT 70 to 90 feet long but in fact 60 feet long and weighed in at 50 tons. Hollywood tends to over exaggerate too much. 60 feet is still freaking monstrously huge! And what scientists believe really caused it to go extinct was the fact that all the other ancient large marine animals it fed on went extinct, and there were not as many whales that it needed to survived. So it literally got to big to survive. A great lesson in life, just because you’re the biggest, baddest apex predator of all time doesn’t mean you’re unstoppable.

[@Stayawaaymen]

THE WAY YOUR EDITED WALKING AWAY AT 3:16 would be me irl like ppl need to stop w the "oh they're so nice they wouldn't eat you" yeah but they're a.

I just broke my foot a week ago but I agree. Nothing hurts more than when my scooter would swing around and hit me in my ankle.

By the way, the main love interest (can't recall her name) is something like 50 years old. So i would imagine the reason she looks kinda off is a possible face lift or some other kind of plastic surgery.

Is this a re-upload? I sware I've seen this reaction before. If its not a re-upload this is a wicked case of dejavu. So the reason why he wanted to go back was because not only was it another person he knew that would die but he has severe PTSD. A lot of war vets with PTSD try to go back overseas to fight. Its less of a suicide thing and more of a redemption thing. For him its loosing people doing exactly what he is now (9:40 mark), so he is trying to redeem himself to himself.
