Let's hire that martial arts fighting dude, Jason Statham, and give him nothing to realistically fight.

Let's have a billionaire who invests a billion in a project but has no idea what they're doing till he arrives at the base he financed.

Let's have said billionaire do some kind of helicopter nonsense mission to cover his tracks that's unnecessarily dumb and obviously a suicide mission.

Let's have a guy who works on ocean rescue for a living, but hasn't learned how to swim.

Let's have a mysterious layer of the deep that somehow nothing has ever escaped from, even though we can easily float a submersible in and out of there.

Let's have some dude swim rapidly to the surface of water from the deep without his ears even popping or any apparent consequences.

Let's just have Jason Statham say the words "It's a megalodon," and act like that's the coolest line ever written, when he's just stating an effin fact in the world of the movie.

Let's give Statham supposedly emotional backstories that appear to have no resonance or impact whatsoever on anything.

Let's have absolutely no characters whatsoever that a sane person could possibly relate to or believe in, let alone like.

On the other side, there's a good scene where a little girl walks about in an underwater tube and a giant shark looms behind her.

I guess that last scene really worked, or people just love to forgive Jason Statham anything (including me, I love that guy), cos this movie made way more than predicted.

I seriously doubt Statham would ever waste his precious remaining life on a sequel though, so expect his brother played by some other dumbass to appear in the sequel.

What a load of crap. :)
