[B]The Meg[/B].  Rewatch because the sequel is coming. Jason Statham is the lead with Rain Wilson (Dwight from the Office) doing a nice job as a goofy billionaire.  Also features several Chinese actors, including the lovely Li Bingbing as Suyin, one of the lead scientists.  Despite being both a "monster" and disaster movie, this is pretty good and not entirely implausible in terms of the overall story.  It has some humor, some tense moments and some likable characters.  Suyin's daughter is terrific and she and Jason Statham's character have good chemistry.  So it's a solid movie for what it is.

Now a side note: I wondered if CCP funded this in part.  It's set off the China coast.  The researchers are Chinese but funded by an American billionaire.  There are appealing scenes of Chinese beaches etc. and nearly everyone is fit and attractive.  So I looked it up and it was a US-China co-production.
