What is Meg 2: The Trench about

However, their mission becomes dangerous when they confront heavily armed mercenaries. So, they are left with the dual challenge of facing these enemies as well as enormous marine creatures like megalodons.

Before seeing Meg 2, you might have imagined Basilosaurus from Jurassic Park as the most terrifying predator, but you will definitely change your views after seeing the latest Megalodon in this American-Chinese co-production.

The Meg, which was released in 2018, was successful enough to evoke the sheer horror of underwater adventure. The fans eagerly anticipated the sequel so they could enjoy Jason Statham’s action and the same surge of adrenaline.
