so it's literally identical to the first meg? First half somewhat serious if not comical premise, 2nd half absolute absurdity?

In layout of the movie yes, but not in scope. Meg 2 definitely cranked it up a notch. Actually probably like 2 to 3 notches.

Didn't even know this was a thing, now excited to watch. That trailer is silly though, "One thing ruled the world".... yeah, until it tries to get on land, and suffocates. Is it really ruling the planet when you are stuck underwater

It was the Chinese character who was first and foremost always thinking about saving the environment, which almost caused a few LOL's. The megs seemed smaller and just overall less dangerous this movie.

We went because my son really wanted to see it, but honestly you miss nothing by waiting for it to hit Netflix/Amazon Prime.
