Warning! This article contains spoilers for Meg 2: The Trench . If you've yet to see the movie and don't want to know anything that happens, turn back now!
No one can believe that actually happens in Meg 2: The Trench. No, we're not talking about the bit where Jason Statham holds a humungous shark's jaws open with just his legs, or when Wu Jing uses a bomb made of fertilizer to blow up a giant octopus; we're talking about the bit where protagonist Jonas Taylor swims across the ocean floor with no diving gear...
Directed by Ben Wheatley, the sci-fi sequel sees eco-warrior Jonas and his team stumble across an illegal mining operation while investigating the deepest depths of the Mariana Trench. Their dive is disrupted when head miner Montes – and their shady employer, billionaire Hillary Driscoli – blows up his team to hide their work from the scientist explorers, ripping a hole in the thermocline layer and grounding Jonas (Statham) and his buddies' ships.
Having previously spotted escape pods attached to the miners' secret station, Jonas and co throw on their high-tech exosuits and start trudging along the ocean floor towards it. Not all of them make it, due to limited oxygen supplies and a trio of megalodons and other aquatic creatures wreaking havoc, but the situation gets even more dire when Jess, their navigator on the surface, reveals herself to be in cahoots with Hillary. She releases the escape pods before Jonas, his stepdaughter Meiying, Jiuming, and Rigas get to them, before trapping them inside a flooding chamber. Now, here's where things get a little bonkers...
Realizing that the only way they'll be able to escape the chamber is by someone opening it from the outside, Jonas volunteers to swim out of a hatch and round to the doorway, freeing the others. Meiying immediately protests, claiming that he'll die from the pressure of being 25,000ft below sea level but Rigas reassures the youngster that he'll be fine, so long as he breathes out the air from his lungs and sinuses beforehand and doesn't stay in the water for longer than, say, 60 seconds. "You don't see the megs wearing exosuits, do you?" Rigas argues. Okay...
"Protection from the crushing pressure of millions of tonnes of water isn't important. You know what is important? Family," one viewer joked on a recent Reddit thread, which features plenty of people reveling in the scene while others try to apply logic to it.
"The more I hear about this movie the more I can't wait to watch it. Statham knows how to pick good junk food action movies," wrote another, as a third adds: "He was just built different."
"This movie is like it was made by someone who got their mind blown by the cinematic experience of the [Sharknado] movies and

I didn't have much hope for Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. Homeworld is an epic, star-spanning tale of survival and triumph amidst the blackness and mystery of interstellar space; Deserts of Kharak, on the other hand, is locked into a single dusty world by the combined forces of gravity and insufficient technological advancement. How could that possibly compare?

A question that many gamers have to ask when it comes to sequel titles is, “Did I need to play the previous game to understand everything?” The answer is “yes” for certain titles, but for others, it’s not really necessary. However, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t want to play those past titles, especially if you can cash in on some sweet rewards they’re offering. In the case of Payday 3, if you’re getting that game and spent some time in the previous entry, Starbreeze Studios will reward you for your heisting. Just to be clear, these are some nice rewards they’re offering.
You’ve probably heard of a number of games that use hand-painted elements - usually backgrounds. But what about a game where everything - every object, every background, every platform - was hand-painted? That’s what developer Pat Naoum did in The Master’s Pupil (the trailer of which you can watch below), and it took him a whopping seven years of painting to finish it.
