Every once in a while we get movies like this which has a simple story told in an unique way.. To begin with I didn't know this movie existed.. It was on Aha OTT and wanted to spend some time watching soemthing before going out on a week end..

For the first 20 minutes of the film, I never had a sense of watching a movie.. It wasn't moving anywhere and the over all visuals made me feel like it's a TV serial rather than a movie.. I wanted to switch to something else but still gave it a try.. Surprisingly, when the lead actress herself dies, I wanted to know what's happening..

Oh my.. What an unique way of story telling.. I guessed the reason ,to an extent, for her death at least 50 minutes away but still it was unique.. The climax scene was emotional..

It's a movie with low visuals, CGI which is non-existent, a simple plot, but an unique way of story telling.. If this story was made with some top tier actors and grand visuals, it would surely have been a box office blockbuster..

I know what I should expect from Meg 2 before walking in to the cinemas. I went purely for the no-thinking, adrenaline rush.. I was expecting something like Jaws, Predators, Aliens, Rogue, Piranha... You know the drill, people get caught, find themselves attacked by dangerous creatures, death toll rises, you watch all enjoying with popcorn, not questioning the stupid actions the characters make...

Oh, I was wrong.. Disappointed. Movie has octopus, it has dinosaurs, it has a shark, for heaven's sake.. Still it was in the league of Sharknado.. Before the characters died, sometimes I felt like dying out of boredom.. I liked few parts, here and there.. But honestly, they didn't make good use of the Shark concept.. Poor Meg totally lost fear and respect..

In a nutshell, it felt like an expedition-gone-wrong movie, where characters die because of some miss management, traitor among them, corporate greediness, past revenge and what not..
