Something impressive about itis how much is being told with very little dialogue and Dever does a lot of the heavylifting there, but also a big props to Duffield behind the camera for keeping the movie stressful from start to finish. Very odd structure too which I loved.

Is it your first time? I don't want to overhype it but this one REALLY worked for me and instantly became a favorite of mine when I saw it.

Meredith Hagner (Kyla) is the clear standout of those films to me, she brings a certain energy that this sequel definitely needed. I like her chemistry with John Cena too and it's clear that without her this wouldn't work at all. I don't mind spending time with those characters.

It still carries that "been there, done that" feeling that we've been seeing in most superhero origin story which is not to the film's benefit but it has its own personality which I could appreciate. The moonlight night sky and cotton candy color palette was energizing.

I might be in the minority but I was a lot more invested in the *featherweight* Aliens-Underwater hybrid of the first half than the Piranha 3D doppelgänger that ends up being the final act. Overall this was superior to the first Meg and it was exactly what I paid for.
