When they catch up to Jonas in a sweaty bar, he hasn’t grown a big scraggly beard or anything, he’s just the same guy, sweaty and chiseled and covered head to toe in a thin layer of stubble, only now with a beer in his hand. Foight a shahk? Sorry, mate, oy’m retoiyad.īut when Jonas’ ex-wife (Jessica McNamee) gets trapped in a submersible miles below the surface in a secret compartment of the ocean (what they thought was the ocean floor was actually just a curtain of hydrogen molecules… don’t ask), there’s only one guy to call. So Jonas goes on self-imposed action hero exile in Thailand. Jonas has some crazy ideas about what that something was, but the pencil necks topside just think he panicked and that oxygen bubbles went to his brain or something and he got a bunch of people killed. He only manages to get half of them out before the sub is crushed by… something. We first meet Jonas Taylor as he’s trying to rescue some military guys from a nuclear submarine. Or, as he’s described in the press notes, “a deep-sea rescue diver.” This would seem to be perfect role for Jason Statham, on account of he’s actually a former diver and is also Jason Statham. Jason Statham plays Jonas Taylor, a guy who yells at people trapped in submersibles, shouting “Reynolds? Talk to me,” into a walkie-talkie, which seems like a very particular skill. The Meg is the friends we made along the way. It’s kind of like Jaws on steroids and Monster energy drink, with a script run through Google Translate. The Meg is kind of like Jaws meets Birdemic. I watched the whole thing in a state of expectant wonder, thinking “my God, they’re really going to figure out a way to have Jason Statham kill a giant prehistoric shark with his bare hands, aren’t they.” The Meg, whose pitch I imagine was something along the lines of “ what if shark big,” has three credited screenwriters.Īll that being said, probably the greatest thing about The Meg is that it’s a movie about Jason Statham fighting a giant shark. It’s like a landscape painter who’s bad at trees.ģ. Its biggest weakness, oddly, is the inability to give the shark a sense of scale. And yet, most of the actual giant shark CGI in The Meg is pretty bad.
In the deep movie sharks cgi how to#
If you were making a movie about a giant CGI shark, you’d think that one of the first things you’d get worked out is how to use CGI to create a giant shark. She’s always popping into frame like surprise, bitch, I’m a shark!Ģ.
Really a lot more jump scares than you’d expect for a giant shark movie. For a shark the size of a zeppelin, she’s surprisingly good at sneaking up on people. Here are some takeaways from The Meg ( directed by John Turteltaub):ġ.
