Shark
movies have come in many shapes and sizes over the years, but more so since 1999’s
Deep Blue Sea than 1975’s Jaws (she was the first). Two species now plague the screens:
there are the deliberately-shlocky straight-to-SyFy stinkers like Sharknado, and there are those that are
worthy of the silver screen like 2010’s The
Reef and 2016’s The Shallows.
Luckily, Jon Turtletaub’s The Meg falls
into the latter.
