Primatologist Davis Okoye shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.
I was truly surprised, the trailer was NOTHING like the actual film. I went in expecting moderate CGI and nothing else, but what I got was an above average CGI action-fest with some things to say about friendship and loyalty. First of all the plot had much more detail than the trailer, the trailer did NO justice to this film as it is much better than much of the CGI laden crap nowadays. I didn't like some things, and I will get to that in the second paragraph. But man was the action well choreographed and was truly a fun spectacle to behold. The way the military faced these creatures was realistic (this coming from an Army veteran) and the way the filmed the action was just so well done, much better than some of the Marvel and other CGI films. The humor was also surprisingly not stupid and made me laugh on multiple occasions. I also liked the use of friendship, you really did understand the friendship between the characters.
So there was some bad, mostly things that wouldn't happen and some plot problems but it really didn't make the film unbearable. First of all, two people under arrest would not be able to escape from a highly secure military air force base, let a lone take off in one of their med-evac chopper. Second of all they consider using a MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs) the largest non-nuclear bomb in US arsenal, problem is, we don't have any more after Trump dropped our last one on a Taliban compound. Again these are small details that didn't take too much away from the film, I still enjoyed it. Some of the cinematography was good in some places, but it was very average during dialog scenes. Action scene were well shot but most else was very average.
If you are looking for beautiful thought provoking cinema, this isn't it, but if you are looking for a fun theater experience, look no further.
