I have to say that the new movie, OLD, from M Night Shyamalan, had me intrigued when I first saw the trailer for it a while back so when the film finally had its release here in the UK on Friday (23rd July) I had to check it out at my local Cineworld.

If you are a dedicated follower/fan of Shyamalan then this is going to be a film that you will want to see on the big screen, don’t expect lots of action or any action at all in this movie it’s a slow-burning mystery/drama that keeps you guessing.

I saw this on Amazon Prime (I don't think it got a theatrical release), and heard good things about it, with a few of the reviewers saying it was even better than Top Gun: Maverick.

Unfortunately, I think they watched a different film than me.

This is set during the Korean War, and tells the story of the friendship between Naval aviators Tom Hudner and Jesse Brown; the latter one of the first non-white aviators in the air force at the time.

 Personally, I found the film to be quite long and drawn-out, with even the vaunted flight scenes looking just not-quite right!

The original 'the Meg' film saw Jason Statham taking on a giant prehistoric shark (my money was always on 'the Stathamator' to win).

If you're expecting anything different from the sequel, you'd be disappointed!

Yes, several - bit not all -of the cast return, with this film very much broken into two distinct sections: the first (roughly) half or so on the seabed below "the Thermocline" - which the creatures below are usually unable to swim up beyond - and the second half on the surface itself.

Second half is also almost a re-tread of the second half of the first movie.

In short, a B-movie writ large.
