That looks like a direct-to-Netflix special, or something to watch on one of those other streaming sites and not the theater.

Do Chinese people harbor secret fantasies about watching thousands of their bretheren get murderized by natural events, giant Kaiju monsters including massive sharks, and so on? I guess I can see the benefit - less crowding, real estate prices get more reasonable, more resources for those that weren't swimming in Meggie's giant broth tank (e.g. the beach), etc.

Well we know the Japanese do, along with a whole host of other weird mental shit from WWII.

I actually read that book back when it came out. IIRC, there were a few different 'WTF?' scenes in it so don't blame the filmmakers if the film has them too.
