The Meg is the worst movie of all time

The Meg. "Meg versus man isn't a fight... it's a slaughter." Directed by Jon Turteltaub in 2018. It was sort of fun but bad. 

The film stars Jason Statham as the megaladon expert whom everyone thinks is crazy but then saves the day. Also in the flick are Li Bingbing who is big in China, Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office), Ruby Rose (the Bieber-looking chick in Orange Is the New Black), Winston Chao (also big in China), and Cliff Curtis from Training Day and Doctor Sleep, among other things. Gist is a group of scientists find a 75-foot-long megalodon shark while on a rescue mission on the floor of the ocean. The shark then does what sharks in movies do.

Some things... The CGI is terrible. Lot of minor characters sacrificing themselves. So much I’ll-advised jumping in the water. 

At one point they make it seem like a dog dies, but that dog is way too adorable, so they make a point to show she survived. Fuck yeah. I mean, all kinds people and prob kids died. But you better not kill the fucking dog. Def bumped it up a couple of stars for me. Like the extended scene of regular shark revenge at the end.
