The Meg
Let’s be real: you probably don’t need to have seen The Meg to follow The Meg 2, but it’s well worth watching if you’re in the mood for some monster-movie-at-sea hijinks. Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure) directed this 2018 crowd-pleaser that pits a world-weary rescue diver (Jason Statham) against a gigantic megalodon shark—suddenly back from extinction after breaking free of its murky home below the Mariana Trench—and the even more gigantic second megalodon that sneaks out behind it.
