What did you think of this film?
A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, former deep-sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) is drawn out of self-imposed exile by a visionary Chinese oceanographer, Dr. Zhang (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter, Suyin (Li Bingbing), who thinks she can rescue the crew on her own. But it will take their combined efforts to save the crew, and the ocean itself, from this seemingly unstoppable threat—a prehistoric 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. Thought to be extinct, the Meg turns out to be very much alive…and on the hunt.

What did you think of this film?
It seems to the Teens that all the major superheroes out there are starring in their own movies—everyone but the Teen Titans, that is! But de facto leader Robin is determined to remedy the situation, and be seen as a star instead of a sidekick. If only they could get the hottest Hollywood film director to notice them. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their heart, the Teen Titans head to Tinsel Town, certain to pull off their dream. But when the group is radically misdirected by a seriously Super-Villain and his maniacal plan to take over the Earth, things really go awry. The team finds their friendship and their fighting spirit failing, putting the very fate of the Teen Titans themselves on the line!

The Teen Titans of the 2003 series appear in an interrupting simulcast during the credits, whereas Robin says “I think we’ve found our way back” (possibly a hint at a revival of the 2003 series).

The “Challengers of the Unknown”, whom Raven had eliminated via portal earlier in the movie, can be seen floating in thin air. The leader of the group proclaims that they may have missed the motion picture, referring to both the Teen Titans Go movie and the fictional movies they had attended.

Professor Pym, his wife Janet, Hope and Ant-Man are in a parking lot with a quantum tunnel that is in the back of Louis’s van. Ant-Man goes to gather some quantum healing particles for Ghost. Ant-Man gathers the particles and waits for the others to get him out of the Quantum Realm. The camera cuts back to the outside of the van where all the instruments and computers are there, but Professor Pym, Janet and Hope have turned to ash (because of the snap of Thanos). Ant-Man is heard calling for them over the radio to get him out.
