Roger Ebert

Much as in his atrocious remake of 'Rebecca' in 2020, Wheatley mostly phones it in here.

Variety

"The Meg 2" is numbingly formulaic, promiscuously derivative and, for a few stretches (like the over-the-top third act), diverting in its very shamelessness.

Los Angeles Times

About halfway through 'Meg 2: The Trench,' this self-serious sequel suddenly became funny.

The New York Times

There’s a shot from the point of view of a shark’s mouth as it’s eating people. I call that good directing.

The Guardian

Never settling on whether he wants his film to be Alien, Jaws, Jurassic Park or Sharknado, Wheatley serves up a bouillabaisse of all four.

IGN

Meg 2: The Trench is a titanic disaster.

IMDb

Meg 2: The Trench is like all those late entries to the Jurassic Park franchise: lifeless, soulless, mindless, dumb, generic.

Rotten Tomatoes

"Meg 2: The Trench is more meg, good, bad, and indifferently. Whether this franchise can sustain the swelling digital carnage remains to be seen, though as an exercise in creature feature excess The Trench delivers." - Chad Collins, Dread Central
