The first one was an enjoyable, B movie type action flick where one didnt need to think and just enjoyed the ride.
It didnt blow you out of immersion with ridiculously over the top inconsistencies or dum6 scenes.
The sequel is mostly that. The second part especially.
First of all for a movie to be called Meg one would think there would be a raising tension about the creature, some face off and resolve. Or at least mostly about it. But alas it is not.
It is about a variety of creatures that follow no logic about their living conditions, it is about some silly side plot, it is about horrible attemps at humor but most devastating for the movies, it is unbearably inconsistent.
Second part of the movie is scene after scene after scene of a character here and in next scene somewhere else entirely, a character equipped with X and then uses X but next scene again has it. Or combant scenes that make NO SENSE. Some fighting here and then teleportent somewhere else and fighting there, then again at the first place and then rewind and go back a few steps. It is like someone just mixed edits and threw them together hastily so they only barely make any chronological sense. It is enfuriating.
Skip it, it is beyond bad movie.

Just when you think it could not possibly get any worse.
This one had even less sci-fi elements and again zero wit in writing. None ST elements. It had that little intro sci-fi transformation that had more in common with dumb teenager attempt at first comedy making than Star Trek. The whole story was insultingly lame and predictable. When ST had episodes that dealt with various transformations, they story delved into exsistential questions, it dealt with questions of differences, it dealt with questions of connection between advancement and spiritual evolvement.
Here the story dealt with a ridiculously low brow semi-jokes, typical trope of generic relationship dinner melodrama, another mocking of Spock and lacked any Star Trek elements that would make it complex, intriguing or interesting to watch.
Beyond abysmal... is anyone even writing this or are they simply changing the names on various formulaic comedy stories and adding one sci-fi element or two to call it "Star Trek".
