The Meg Advance Movie Screening

Movie Screening Summary

Jason Statham (“Spy,” “Furious 7,” “The Expendables” films) and award-winning Chinese actress Li Bingbing (“Transformers: Age of Extinction,” “Forbidden Kingdom,” “The Message”) star in the science fiction action thriller “The Meg,” directed by Jon Turteltaub (the “National Treasure” movies, “Last Vegas”).

In the film, a deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is that, years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now, teamed with Suyin, he must confront his fears and risk his own life to save everyone trapped below…bringing him face to face once more with the greatest and largest predator of all time.

Rounding out the international main cast of “The Meg” are Rainn Wilson (TV’s “The Office,” “Super”), Ruby Rose (“xXx: Return of Xander Cage,” TV’s “Orange is the New Black”), Winston Chao (“Skiptrace,” “Kabali”), Page Kennedy (TV’s “Rush Hour”), Jessica McNamee (“The Vow,” TV’s “Sirens”), Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (“The BFG,” TV’s “The Missing”), Robert Taylor (“Focus,” TV’s “Longmire”), New Zealander Cliff Curtis (“The Dark Horse,” “Risen,” TV’s “Fear the Walking Dead”), Sophia Shuya Cai (“Somewhere Only We Know”), and Masi Oka (TV’s “Hawaii Five-0,” “Heroes”).

Turteltaub directed the film from a screenplay by Dean Georgaris and Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber, based on the New York Times best-selling novel by Steve Alten. Lorenzo di Bonaventura (the “Transformers” films), Belle Avery (“Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead”) and Colin Wilson (“Suicide Squad,” “Avatar”) produced the film, with Gerald R. Molen, Randy Greenberg, Wayne Wei Jiang, and Barrie Osborne serving as executive producers.

Turteltaub’s behind-the-scenes team included Oscar-nominated director of photography Tom Stern (“Changeling,” “Sully,” “American Sniper,” “The Hunger Games”), Oscar-winning production designer Grant Major (“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” “X-Men- Apocalypse”), editor Steven Kemper (“Salt,” “Mission: Impossible II,” “Face/Off”) and costume designer Amanda Neale (“Truth,” “Pete’s Dragon,” “What We Do in the Shadows”).

Filming on “The Meg” was accomplished on location in China and New Zealand.

The Equalizer 2 Movie Review

“The Equalizer 2” is special, if only because it is the first sequel that Denzel Washington has ever wanted to do (“The Sequel-izer”?). In 2014 “The Equalizer” took the old TV series and gave it a make-over with Denzel playing Robert McCall. This time around Denzel brings along the same director and the same writer as with the first installment. They have come up with another dose of action and revenge – with Robert McCall always looking out for the little guy. He brings justice to an unjust world, one kick-ass sequence at a time. With this movie, the second time around is not frantic as the first, but it ends up with a wild finish.

Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) goes about his business and tries to mind his own business. He even has become a part-time Lyft driver so he could connect with everyday people. But with his many years of Special Forces training and even more years in a special operations unit in the CIA, there are ‘very particular set of skills’ that McCall can use to “equal the scales of justice”. That happens at the start, when he travels to Turkey to get back a kidnapped little girl. McCall lives in a simple manner, and has some friends in the Boston neighborhood where he is located. He befriends Miles (Ashton Sanders), who is a young black man with some artistic skills – but he also has a toxic attitude.

McCall has some other friends who live in Washington DC. Susan Plummer (Melissa Leo) is a retired CIA manager who headed up McCall’s old unit. She and her husband Brian Plummer (Bill Pullman) are close to McCall, and they knew his wife before she passed away. Susan is called to research an odd murder-suicide that happened in Brussels. The man and wife happened to also be deep-cover agents for the CIA. She goes to see if there was any connection. She goes with agent Dave York (Pedro Pascal), and was also part of the special ops team and had partnered with McCall years ago. But there is an incident in Brussels and Susan is killed. The police think it was a couple of meth users, but McCall thinks it was much more than that.

The scenes flip back and forth between Boston and Washington DC and Brussels. But McCall keeps busy with his Lyft driving, while still doing forensic analysis on Susan’s phone and computer. He helps an elderly man to find a long-lost sister. He helps a young woman who had been brutalized by a group of high-dollar, low-class men. And everywhere he goes, he can leave a trail of blood and bodies. He also helps his young friend Miles, and convinces him to stay out of a violent street gang. Miles slowly learns that McCall has the ability to turn on some street gang level violence just on his own.

While the weather gets worse and worse in Boston, McCall figures out that his old teammate, Dave York, might be playing now on a different team. There is a lot of bad blood between them, when McCall knows who it was ultimately behind Susan’s murder. York has a group of henchmen who can make life difficult for McCall. They all follow McCall to his old home on the Cape Cod coast. But somebody forgot to turn off the hurricane that is making landfall near the town. McCall must face off with the evildoers in a driving wind and in drenching rain. But when he is able to use any item at his disposal to put up a defense against the bad guys, he has an advantage. But when they also have an ace-in-the-hole (or is that a Miles-in-the-trunk?) – the fighting gets pretty berserk.

Denzel Washington is (again) excellent playing Robert McCall. He has a steely-eyed gaze that could cause any wrong-doer to think twice and join the side of the angels. But his close-contact fighting skills can leave an opponent on the ground gasping. Denzel must enjoy this role, because he looks worn into place yet very nimble. Working again with director Antoine Fuqua brings a good level of karma to the whole production, and the result is very watchable. Pedro Pascal is also really good as a slick operative who is adept at playing both sides. Ashton Sanders does a decent job at not being entirely overshadowed by Denzel. Everyone else is mostly extended cameos in the movie.

 

Aside from the first half, which flips locations quite often, the pacing is steady. It picks up a lot in the second half, and final third is just a brilliant fast-paced cat-and-mouse fight sequence. The entire purpose behind all the murders is a little murky, and there a few scenes that go on a smidge too long. Maybe a more cohesive story line, and a few more days of editing could have turned this into a more forceful movie. Right now it is way above average, and a great deal of that goes to the presence of Denzel. His shoulders are wide enough to carry many obstacles.

 

“The Equalizer 2” is not a movie I ever expected to see made. But because of the care that Denzel Washington puts into the character of Robert McCall, this is a franchise that might be able to continue on with more movies and more high praise. All things being Equal…

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Movie Review

In the 25 years since “Jurassic Park” opened (on the screens of the world), there have never been enough people who dared to ask, “What could possibly go wrong?” Also, when they do ask that pondering question, the answer is usually “Plenty!” That is the case for “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”, which is the sequel to “Jurassic World” and also a descendant of “Jurassic Park”. The little island of Isla Nublar never looked so disastrous.

When John Hammond and his business partner Sir Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell) attempted to open the Park many years ago, disaster stuck. The Park soon fell into disrepair. A new company took over and recreated it as “Jurassic World”, where new levels of disaster struck. Some people who worked there (and survived) were Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Dr. Henry Wu (B. D. Wong). Dr. Wu oversaw creating newer and bigger dinosaurs, and Clair was in charge of marketing. Owen was a wiz at raising and gaining the trust of some Velociraptors, including Blue. But the Park was abandoned when the dinosaurs all escaped.

Now three years later, a new crisis has arrived. A long dormant volcano is about to rip up the island and send the dinosaurs back to extinct status. But Sir Lockwood has a personal assistant named Eli Mills (Rafe Spall) who has come up with a plan. He wants to evacuate almost all the dinos to a new, safer island. Clair agrees to get Owen to help. They are also assisted by a couple of people that Clair works with at the Dinosaur Protection Group she founded to save her ‘friends’. Along with them are paleo-veterinarian Zia Rodriguez (Daniella Pineda) and IT genius Franklin Webb (Justice Smith). They are met by a large group of mercenaries led by Ken Wheatley (Ted Levine).

 

With the dinos running everywhere and the volcano about to blow, the team gets the last few dinos ready to leave. It is up to Owen to try and locate Blue, the lone Velociraptor. But before you can say bait-and-switch, the tables are turned and Clair, Owen, Franklin and Zia find that there is trouble afoot. The dinos are taken instead to a remote mansion owned by Lockwood in Northern California.  Eli Mills has some other intentions for the dinosaurs, which all include making lots of money. He has been paying Dr. Wu to come up with more lethal versions of the dinos, and he is paying Wheatley and his team to get the prehistoric monsters back to the mansion in the woods. He plans for an auctioneer named Eversol (Toby Jones) to auction off each dino to the highest bidder.

Sir Lockwood has a granddaughter named Maisie (Isabella Sermon) who is fond of the sickly old man. But Eli Mills is a fiend who can kill off anyone who gets in his way, and he also threatens Clair and Owen. But due to some amazing timing, there is some monkey business that goes on the night of the auction. There are people running and fleeing many dinosaurs, because, you know… “Life Finds a Way”. Meanwhile, a Senate committee is in session and they are questioning noted chaos theory specialist, Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). He says, based on all that has happened, mankind will just have to get used to dealing with dinosaurs “Welcome to Jurassic World!”

Visually, this movie is a virtual treat. There are lots of great shots with many types of dinosaurs, and they all look fantastic. The level of the story, however, does reach the height of a Brachiosaurus. It is trite retread of the prior movies, with the added weird idea to take all the action from a large island, and instead put it all of the action into a confined mansion. The evil bad guys are portrayed over-the-top, even to the point of Wheatley collecting teeth from the dinos – like some type of serial killer getting trophies. The new characters do not add much, except they can scream on cue.

This series of movies has gone from “Jurassic Park” to “Jurassic World”, but now it got squeezed down to “Jurassic Mansion”. What could be next? “Jurassic Double-Wide”…
