Watch and enjoy the trailer, and save your precious time for something fun or enjoyable.
The Meg2 was awesome! Great cast, exciting suspenseful story and beautiful special effects. Nice actions and good pace... It's the Megaladon movie you're looking for.
This is one of those movies you wished you skipped. Even the people playing in it would probably not recommend it.
You can stop reading now.... but I have to fill the 600 words to save you, from watching this abomination.
Some alternatives are "the Meg","jaws","47 meters down" even "toxic shark" is beter, "underwater" was cool but no sharks in that one.
Enjoy your time!

This and 'The Rising' are about the worst films I've seen, even 50s B movies were better. Writers of absolute rubbish like this have no idea on how to give each 'actor/actress' character, they all sound the same, shouting, over-dramatic dialogue, broken, clipped sentences. When a couple of women got together in praise of each other, it descended into a mutual admiration society. Drippy! Where is a bucket to catch all the syrup running out of the TV? The CGI was hopeless and there is a total lack of research into how the navy operates. How come we have a young-ish woman in charge of a battleship? PC forever! And ship names - US battleships (obviously IOWA class) were named after states; USS KING ? And who came up with that ridiculous name FRAGASSO? How much longer are US movie makers going to inflict such crimes against entertainment on us?
Eric Roberts looking all cloned up like he's about to have a heart attack or something. He should respectfully retire like Bruce Willis.
Man this movie is sh**"t; failing at trying to replicate meg 2. Its storyline is baseless, CGI effect is trash, the cast comprises nursery/intern amateurs and more annoyingly the whole team looks under-prepared for this movie. Almost like a volunteered probono act sorry to say.
In my opinion, you should watch SpongeBob SquarePants instead of this (My 2cents). Trust me, use those cents for something much more useful. Or play Need for Speed No limit 2015. Don't laugh, I mean this sh...

The movie sets sail with a cast led by the seasoned Eric Roberts, whose performance as a naval leader is, unfortunately, one of the film's few bright spots. Because, despite his earnest efforts, Roberts' portrayal lacks authenticity, leaving much to be desired. Curiously, he bears an uncanny resemblance to his grandmother, which adds an unintended layer of distraction to his character.
The casting choices for the female leads present another conundrum. Although they aim to play characters twenty to thirty years younger than their actual ages, their amateurish performances break the illusion entirely. Their attempts to portray youthful vigor fall flat, making it difficult to engage with their characters on any meaningful level.
The most glaring issue, however, is the film's CGI. It seems as though the special effects were handled by a teenager with limited experience. The shark attack scenes, meant to be thrilling and suspenseful, are laughably bad. The graphics are outdated, the movements unnatural, and the overall execution is disastrously off the mark. It's almost as if the CGI team was aiming for a retro vibe but missed the target by several decades.
Despite these numerous flaws, there is a faint glimmer of effort detectable throughout the film. The filmmakers appeared to have some semblance of a vision, even if it didn't translate well on screen. For that reason alone, I generously award the film two stars. The attempt to create a compelling movie is evident, but unfortunately, the execution leaves the audience adrift in a sea of disappointment.
In conclusion, it is a misadventure that fails to deliver on its promises. With lackluster performances, abysmal CGI, and a script that doesn't quite hit the mark, it is a film that might be enjoyed for its unintentional humor rather than its intended thrills. Proceed with caution, and perhaps bring a life preserver of low expectations.

Talk is cheap; so we get lots and lots of talk.
I'm a big fan of over-the-top sci-fi movies with ridiculous plots, bad acting and entertaining special effects. The mismatched military branch being represented, the rusted, mothballed, tourist ship that is clearly docked somewhere just adds to the entertainment factor.
The problem is they used to actually try to make a good movie and just didn't have the budget to pull it off. They couldn't reshoot scenes until they looked good so we got an early take. Now, they don't care, they know enough of us will watch whatever they produce, hoping for a low budget gem; so they pump them out as fast as they can.
These are the ugly Christmas sweaters of the movie world. Ugly Christmas sweaters were fun when they were inadvertently ugly and given as actual gifts that the giver thought was nice. When they are manufactured to be ugly it takes away a lot of the fun. These movies are manufactured to be bad and that also takes away a lot of the fun.
One key thing the companies behind these realized is few things are cheaper to shoot than people sitting in a dimly lit room talking about what is going on. So, we now get most of the movie taking place in what is supposed to be some sort of control room. With just 2 or 3 main characters and talking, lots and lots of talking.
I had some hope for this one early on with the sharks eating entire boats in one bite, only seeing 3 people on the entire ship and what even appeared to be people running through a brewery shown as people escaping a laboratory. But after so much talking, I literally fell asleep.
