Leave your thoughts about Meg 2: The Trench.
| Original-CinThom ErnstDirector Ben Wheatley gives the summer blockbuster the finger, and it’s the funniest damn thing I’ve seen this year. Meg 2: The Trench is flawed to perfection; a satirical pummeling of commercial cinema and the first out of gate with a Barbie send-up. |
| The New York TimesCalum MarshThe director having fun is the presiding feeling here — which may account for why the movie is so frequently amusing, and occasionally delightful. |
| ConsequenceLiz Shannon MillerStill, as giant shark movies go, it’s a far more coherent entry in the genre than others, with effects work that’s several notches above the rest. |
| NMEMark BeaumontWheatley proves himself an instant master of CGI monster movie mayhem here, but by piling it on so relentlessly thick he all but admits defeat in his initial attempts to give the franchise any believable depths. |
| Paste MagazineAurora AmidonDirected by Ben Wheatley, Meg 2: The Trench earnestly takes on the challenge of being even more brazenly goofy and ludicrous than the first film. |
| The A.V. ClubMark KeizerIt’s faint, if legitimate, praise to say that The Meg 2: The Trench is better than the first film because, while it repeats everything the first film did wrong, it improves on everything it did right. It lacks the drive, imagination, and sense of awe to work as a pastiche of Aliens, The Abyss, Jaws, and Jurassic Park. But the more fulsomely the movie embraces its big budget, DVD-era silliness, the longer it and the audience are riding the same enjoyably stupid wave. |
| EmpireBen TravisDespite elements that threaten to drag it down into the depths, Ben Wheatley’s Meg sequel (cherish those words) battles a waterlogged script with playful pulpiness, delivering solid summer fin. Sorry, fun. |
| ColliderMarco Vito OddoIn the end, Meg 2: The Trench is not much different from the first installment in the franchise, for better and mostly worse. |
| Vanity FairRichard LawsonMeg 2 is confident in its schlock, piling on one ridiculous conceit after another at such a pace that the audience can’t help but be swept up in it. That is a harder needle to thread than many filmmakers seem to think—it’s not enough to just be stupid. |
| PolygonJesse HassengerIf Wheatley seems a bit lost as to how to wring the maximum amount of suspense from this material, he at least maintains a location-hopping cornball sci-fi zip. |
