Why watch this film?
The first Meg could be interpreted as a remake of Jaws mutated by a megaproduction Hollywood ecosystem: everything is bigger, more spectacular, more scandalous, with more characters and more action. And at the time, it worked. But if something shows this sequel, it's that more isn't always better. Meg 2: The Trench follows hero Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) on a new adventure in the depths of the sea, where he and his crew end up trapped. The plot focuses for a considerable part on the fight for survival and exit to the surface. However, the footage is inflated by greater emphasis on action sequences with Statham, and although the last act is fun, there's not much original in this sequel that feels tired and uninspired.

Rebecca
Exclusive to Netflix, 'Rebecca' is an adaptation of the literary work of British author Daphne Du Maurier, which was the basis of three films by master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock - 'The Lodger', 'The Birds' and, of course, 'Rebecca' itself. The new version, starring Lily James and Armie Hammer, may not be a remake, but it's hard not to compare it to Hitchcock's feature, which became an Oscar-winning classic in the 1940s. The film tells the story of a young woman who marries a wealthy man who is still haunted by memories of his deceased wife. Directed by Ben Wheatley, 'Rebecca' may be surprising for those who don't know the story and slightly tedious for those who watched the 1940 version. Wheatley brought more of a problematic romance than a suspense, which is well built both in the book and in Hitchcock's version. Despite this, the feature has not lost its glamor, has beautiful cinematography and excellent performance by Kristin Scott Thomas.
Free Fire
This British movie (though set in the US) which screened at the Toronto Film Festival, mixes action and comedy in true British style. It has good pacing, an interesting cast including Brie Larson (from 'Room'), Cillian Murphy (from the 'Dark Knight' trilogy) and Armie Hammer ('Nocturnal Animals') and a funny storyline. There's nothing particularly innovative or spectacular here which may frustrate some, but it works as pure, simple entertainment.
In The Earth
Director of films such as 'Rebecca: An Unforgettable Woman', 'Free Fire' and 'At the Top of Power', British Ben Wheatley shows his reading of a horror story in 'In The Earth'. In the plot, which has touches of 'The Witch' and 'The Blair Witch', the feature film follows the journey of a scientist and a forest police officer who, while the world seeks a cure against a dangerous virus, venture into the forest on a journey that takes sinister turns. Although it has the problems seen in Wheatley's previous films, such as a predictable script and laziness in the realization, 'In The Earth' hits the mark by creating a tense atmosphere with a psychedelic touch.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Megalopolis
An architect wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia following a devastating disaster.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
As the world falls, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the wasteland, they encounter the citadel presided over by Immortan Joe. The two tyrants wage war for dominance, and Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
Dredd
In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver
It was said about the first installment, and it can be said about Netflix's Rebel Moon (Part Two): it is a movie that only Zack Snyder fans will enjoy. The film continues to be a copy of the classic 'Seven Samurai', but in space: our heroes, led by Kora (Sofia Boutella), return to their small agricultural moon to prepare the defense against the invaders from the Empire. The story unfolds in a predictable manner (even more so if you've seen Kurosawa's classic), with Snyder's usual stylistic vices: overuse of slow motion and gratuitous Christian symbolism. If you liked the previous one (or the director's other movies), you will undoubtedly enjoy it. Otherwise, it might be better to skip it.
