Meg 2: The Trench

• Action
• Science Fiction
• Horror

A research team’s exploratory dive into the Mariana Trench descends into a frantic, escalating survival struggle not against a single apex predator, but a chaotic ecosystem of prehistoric creatures unleashed by a reckless mining operation. While initially framed as an environmental protection mission, the narrative swiftly pivots into a relentless gauntlet of escalating action sequences, prioritizing visceral spectacle over coherent plot development. The film distinguishes itself not through character depth but through the sheer volume and inventive brutality of its creature-based set pieces, turning the underwater environment into a claustrophobic and unpredictable battleground. It’s a distinctly creature-feature focused experience, leaning heavily into outlandish action rather than sustained tension or scientifically plausible horror.
