Hello Friends, I hope you are doing fine and are having a good time on bitlanders. Today I have come up again with my new blog with the title of "English Movie Review - The Meg". Friends, this blog is about a recently released English Thriller and Action Genres film "The Meg". The story of this movie revolves around fighting and surviving against a huge shark which is estimated to be more than 70 feet long. This film is a Chinese and American Film co-production.

The screen play for the movie was written by Dean Georgaris and the film production was supervised by Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. The movie has been appreciated widely by the movie lovers and has been showing very good business on the box office. The movie has so far earned over 210 Million US Dollars.

There’s an argument to be made that all you really need for a halfway decent summer action movie is Jason Statham and something for Jason Statham to punch. Any film that fulfils those basic criteria can’t be all bad. In The Meg, Statham’s target is a 70ft prehistoric shark, or megalodon, hitherto imprisoned under an icy barrier of hydrogen sulphide in an ocean realm deeper than the Mariana Trench. It’s tempting to assume that all fin flicks are direct descendants of the big daddy of them all, Jaws. But The Meg shares as much DNA with the Godzilla tradition of the monster from the deep, awakened by mankind’s hubris and now chucking around submarines like a dog with a chew-toy.

While Jonas Taylor is conducting the rescue operation and manages to take out Lori and The Wall from the submersible, the giant hark comes back to attack them once again. Seeing the danger, Toshi closes the hatch door thus sacrificing his own life and makes it possible for Jonas Taylor, Lori and The Wall to return to Mana One. At Mana One, the daughter of Dr. Minway Zhang goes near the side of the facility and sees a giant shark coming towards it and then it collides with the strong mirror causing a huge blow. When the team arrives at the scene, Dr. Zhang's daughter explains that there is a monster outside. The scientists believe that there is an existence of a monstrous shark outside and it is looking for them. The Meg after creating havoc for the people at Mana One, heads to the beach to cause more casualties. The staff at Mana One along with Jonas Taylor first distracts the shark away from the people at beach and then attacks it cutting its belly as well as by stabbing in the eye of the Meg with poison. Other small sharks appear to eat the larger Meg as Jonas Taylor and Suyin Zhang save other crew members. In the ending scenes, Jonas Taylor and Suyin Zhang decide to go for a vacation after the hectic task of killing the Meg.
