WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Somewhere off the Chinese coast, a 95-foot-long megalodon, a prehistoric species of shark long thought to be extinct, rises from the depths and attacks a research submersible, leaving its crew stranded. It is now up to diver Jonas Taylor (Statham), who has a history with the beast, to rescue the crew and stop the giant shark before it reaches the mainland…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Imagine if the shark from Jaws was the size of your average kaiju monster, and you should have an idea of your head about what kind of glorious damage a giant megalodon can cause, much to our delight.
