"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. "
