Minor Spoiler alert! MEG 2 is the dumbest movie I've seen in a long time. It's so bad, it's almost good. The special effects are good and the action scenes are entertaining, but the movie expects you to suspend reality to such a ridiculous degree that it makes it unwatchable. For example, the main character is able to survive without any suit or protection at the depth of 25,000 feet, where the atmospheric pressure is over 11,000 PSI. That's like being crushed by a mountain. But the movie just shrugs it off and moves on. There are other ridiculous moments throughout the movie, like when the main character magically transforms into a fire-breathing unicorn. (Okay, that part was sarcasm, but it would have been just as believable as the rest of the movie.) But what really makes MEG 2 so unwatchable is the fact that it takes itself so seriously. The movie is full of clichéd dialogue and over-the-top acting. It's like the filmmakers didn't realize how ridiculous their own movie was. If you're looking for a good laugh, then MEG 2 is the movie for you. But if you're looking for a movie that makes any sense, then I strongly recommend avoiding this one. Rating: 1 out of 5 stars
