Free to roam the heavens in man's noble quest to investigate the weirdness of the universe!

Everybody in that movie seems so bored to be in that movie. It looks technically competent but there's just this layer of blandness on top of it. Also why are all these Star Wars stories all heists? I'm not really complaining because heists are cool and good but still, give me the slasher film starring Darth Vader that was hinted at in Rogue One.

Everyone’s bored because they had to do the exact same scenes again. I’d imagine that would be super frustrating.

I've had this account since 2003 and completely failed to see the irony here until you pointed it out. Little known fact but the translation of Chewie's roar when Han gets kebobed in TFA is actually "gently caress you old man, you had that coming!"

It looks they seriously depart from the book. And that can only be a good thing.

I really hope the campiness of the trailer is how the movie is.

Could a giant/colossal squid actually crush a submersible? Want to make sure my giant shark movie has tactical realism

feedmyleg
Dec 25, 2004
No. An actual giant/colossal squid is nowhere near that size. While they can grow up to ~50ft. they actually have a pretty low volume with tentacles about as thick as your arm. What you see in the trailer is a total fantasy creature.

If you really want to crush a submersible then you need a giant OCTOPUS. Much stronger. Geez.

Meg looks good and fun. Are the beach scenes in Asia? Or the whole movie I guess. Also the shark was ridiculously big in the last shot.

It's partly a Chinese studio production. The director also made National Treasure.

Well, the shark was 17 to 20m from nose to tail IRL, so it usually gets 50% Blockbuster Bonus in stats.

Are there any of these shark attack movies where the shark wins in the end? Sharks are always getting the raw end of the stick in movies, for once I wanna see the shark be the good guy.

That last shot is totally different to any of the others in the trailer so my guess is it's entirely constructed to be a button.

The essay this is based on would make a neat movie, but I'm not sure this is it. To do it justice you'd need an actor who can flip between 'snivelling poo poo' and 'psycho mastermind', and while Kevin Spacey or Hugo Weaving could pull that off I'm not sure Marton Csokas has the chops.
