Jason Statham was great as always. The movie was good to see once. But it was boring. Nothing that makes you want to see it again, even when it comes out on dvd.

Too much "dead space"; drawn out; typical set up: man survives tragic event, gets called back to work, meets independent woman, and falls in love with her, saves life over and over

Visual: mix "Deep Blue Sea" with "Jaws" GREAT movie! Got a mixture of every emotion: sadness, laughter, and excitement. Graphics weren't too bad either!

Shld focus more on the story and less on cheesy romance. Jason S is good but supporting casts are trying too hard. Glad I watched it for free thru atom.

I thought it be more believable. Jason statham was awesome but the benefactor sucked from the beginning of the move until he was killed. The only obvious question I have is where the hell was the child care provider for the little girl?

Meh, it’s your average shake movie. If you’re a diver or know anything about the water, you won’t like it.

Statham is the real thing, and he’s key to the effectiveness of this good-natured and often highly ridiculous adaptation of Steve Alten’s 1997 sci-fi potboiler.

The end result may be little more than an exponentially more expensive version of those cheapo Syfy channel movies, but at least it has the good taste to be exponentially better as well.

The Meg takes itself far too seriously. The only amusing elements are Jason Statham’s occasional one-liners coupled with his exasperated expressions.
