One of the most interesting aspects of Meg 2: The Trench is how it incorporates a variety of influences as Steve Alten's books are brought to life. It's something that continues from the first film, which helps the property feel more than just a shark movie. Sure, Jaws does influence the Meg movies, but by being more diverse, it keeps the series fresh.
