The Meg

This gave me warm, nostalgic feelings of the 1990s, when every third movie was a terrible, big-budget rip-off of Jurassic Park. Strong swimmer Jason Statham is perfect as the stoic outlier, knowing the truth about the creature when no one else knows. The science here is preposterous and the sparse shark effects are only so-so. But the monster movie clichés are playfully executed and the sense of dumb fun is admirable. A good airplane movie.
