The film is unique and presents a "undersea Jurassic" to the audience. The film also relies on the creation of an atmosphere of horror, successfully opening the audience's psychological defenses, and the megalodon’s "giant teeth" and the mystery of the underwater world also provide a strong visual impact for the film. The film cleverly combines human fears of the deep sea and giant beasts. This sense of fear runs through the entire film and achieves the basic effect of a monster film. Director Joe Detduba pave the way for the story design with a simple and easy-to-understand plot to bring the audience the most direct experience in the senses. In the movie, the megalodon itself is the most intuitive visual impact, and the audience and the lens enter the dark underwater world together, and can more empathize and experience the horror brought by this behemoth.
However, in terms of the expression of specific content, the film lacks a little scientific rigor, but the most distinctive feature of the film lies in its humorous elements. In the film, humor is like a magic key, which can open the audience’s inner thoughts and also Infect everyone.
Another big knowledge loophole in Megalodon, if it were not for extreme conditions, sharks seldom go to shallow waters to hunt because they are easily cut by the corals in the shallow sea, and the sharks in the film are like screenwriters. The subjective image produced makes it slightly mediocre in the plot. The idea of the film is too simple and the fishtail is not strong enough. The main idea of monster movies is to use monsters to directly face the fears of the characters, or the monsters themselves symbolize the forces of nature. If humans want to destroy nature, they will be counteracted by the forces of nature. It can be seen the ingenuity of the creators, and the battle between humans and scourges is constantly escalating with the advancement of film technology. However, the film is not only stop and spectacle, but also has multiple commercial elements. It is just a bonus item. The meaning behind it is more worthy of reflection and exploration.
"The Megalodon" is a pleasant mashup film, low-key and subtle but highly efficient. The appearance of the giant shark shows a good visual effect.
"The Megalodon" is a likable popcorn movie. There are some monster scenes that are very good. The jokes and the destruction caused by sharks in this family movie by director Joe Detduba found a good one. balance.
The film is neither stupid nor clever and interesting. It takes too much time to portray boring human characters. This time should be allocated to the real protagonist of the movie, Megalodon.
