Wonderful on tons of levels, gotta love George.

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2018

Let me say this first, I did not expect much of this movie at all, I heard it was based on some kind of video game, never heard of it and never saw the game. Having stated this....loved this movie, it was just a lot of good times and the jokes were very effective as were the action sequences. Dwayne Johnson obviously had a great time doing this movie and it shows all the way through. Dwayne and George the Gorilla have a charming and fun filled relationship. I am certain there have been many reviews already and mine (I hope) echoes the others. The supporting cast is superb and I am so glad that there aren't the usual wife and (typically) daughter to be saved in Mr. Johnson's movies. I have grown so tired of those plot twists. Really go along for the really great ride and have some fun with this sensational popcorn movie.

Dumb....just...so dumb.

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2019

I don't mind "dumb" so much when certain criteria are met. I like Michael Bay movies, and they are mostly unrealistic to the extreme, for instance. I also can't define what exactly turns me off to some movies, I just start holding stupidity against a movie when it all adds up to a certain level. When the military is portrayed as being so stupid a third grader would roll their eyes, that qualifies. This movie qualifies. When apache helicopters engage the monster from about 50 feet away, waiting to get swatted out of the air, I call B.S. When the hero crawls into the crashed copter and, completely stationary, uses the missiles to knock down the creature (because, I guess the pilot forgot he had them) I start feeling like I'm being insulted. Then when the army fires every .556 round the soldiers can carry at giant monsters and that doesn't work, the top military strategists all stand around wringing their hands in worry with no idea what to do...until one of them comes up with the plan to drop a MOAB into the center of Chicago....well I realize somebody IS insulting me. That's 10 minutes. Expand that into the entire last half of this waste of time and both my wife and I were rolling our eyes and considering hoping not to lose too many IQ points before the end. First time I've ever felt sorry for Dwayne Johnson, and he has had some cringe worthy lines in several movies not known for their great dialogue.

I loved this movie. Yeah, maybe its kind of a similar theme to Godzilla, but Dwanye Johnson comes through again with his unique twist of humor.

A fun movie

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2020

Rampage is a movie based on an arcade game from back in the 1980s, where you played as creatures destroying the city. The movie is like a combination of Jurrasic Park and Godzilla, with a bit of Independence Day, the rebooted Planet of the Apes, every movie about a company run by evil people, and the Rock being an indestructible hero thrown in.

The basic plot is that a company run by Malin Akerman's character is doing genetic experiments on rats in space, to make them essentially invulnerable to anything. The space station blows up, but canisters with the serum being used on the rats end up crashing to earth and infecting a wolf, alligator, and gorilla. The Gorilla, George, is in a habitat run by Dwayne Johnson, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's character who is a primatologist (and because he is 6'5" and 300lbs of muscle, ex-military) who works with George. Naomie Harris plays a scientist who worked for the company on the serum and Jeffrey Dean Morgan is an FBI agent responding to the Rampaging animals.

The movie is a good blend of action, comedy, and a bit of drama thrown in. Of course, it makes the Rock into an indestructible hero that can survive getting shot, crashing planes and helicopters and falling buildings, and not only walk away but keep fighting. So, in that way the movie is clearly being tongue in cheek. The Rock also continues to show that he is a decent comedic actor as well as a great action star, and is able to be self-deprecating and at least does not seem to take himself too seriously.

For those who get the 4k disc, the movie looks and sounds great in UHD, especially if you have a large screen. All the extras are included on the second, regular, Blu-Ray disc. Those include several behind-the-scenes and making-of featurettes (averaging about 10 minutes in length) then a short gag reel. Probably around an hour, give or take, of extras.

Overall, it is a fun action movie that is enjoyable if you are able to suspend your disbelief and not take it extremely seriously. If you are a fan of The Rock's movies, especially the newer ones like San Andreas or Hobbs and Shaw, then you are very likely going to enjoy this. If you are not a big fan of action movies as a whole, especially ones with lots of explosions and monsters, then this is not going to do anything for you.

I love that stupid CGI gorilla.

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2019

A genetically made pathogen from experiments done on the space station lands on earth after an experiment gone wrong destroys both the station and the escape pod retuning to earth. (This is number one on our “How to create a monster” list.) Three canisters containing the pathogen land on earth and infect three different animals causing them to mutate growing bigger and extremely aggressive. The animals, “George” a gorilla, “Ralph” a gray wolf and an American crocodile all converge on Chicago.

Our heroes: Dwayne Johnson a Primatologist (wha?) and Naomie Harris a Geneticist. Toss in Jeffrey Dean Morgan and you got yourself one heck of a “Justice League”. The mission: Try to find the antidote before it’s too late.

Enter the bad guys. Energyne Corporation the owners of which are a brother and sister team. The wimpy brother played by Jake Lacy and the bi--chy sister played by Malin Akerman. The mission: Retrieve the specimens and make a boat load of money.

The movie is both scary and humorous. The action is non-stop. The special effects are top-notch with the best darn monsters in a long time. It’s a monster movie and that’s all it’s trying to be.

Oh, and don’t forget the helicopter take down. This time by a really big gray wolf.

Item arrived as expected

Item arrived in the ETA window. No problem playing on any of my Blu-ray players (Game Console, Region-free player, and standard US BD player). As for the movie itself, per Rotten Tomatoes Movie Info, "Primatologist Davis Okoye (Johnson), a man who keeps people at a distance, 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."

Stunning FX, fun movie

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

An almost standard premise of Corporate Greed overriding common sense is the basis for "critters out of control". What is stunning is the level of detail in the CGI, particularly "George", that is so good you can easily invest yourself in the character. Having Chicago as "ground zero" is also remarkable. If you watch this with the idea of plausibility, ask yourself where and what are the animals eating to sustain their metabolism? That means, if you pay attention to the movie dialog, they HAVE to eat A LOT. Still, once you are hooked into the movie, you easily suspend such questions and enjoy the ride. Be aware that the ending of the movie was changed because DJ demanded it.

RAMPAGE is great with JD Morgan and Dwayne Johnson

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a great SciFi movie starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Dwayne Johnson. An explosive accident in space sends down experimental devices that cause three normal size animals to become gigantic. Johnson, along with a giant white gorilla named George, try to take down the other two giant animals. Morgan is a government agent who also helps Johnson.

There is some humor between Morgan and Johnson. They play their characters parts extremely well. You can see a little Negan swagger in Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Best Creature Feature in a Long Long Time

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

Here, "creature feature" is used to refer to movies showing animals -- really large animals.
Comparing this to recent movies like the Kong atrocity or the last (last two?) Godzilla efforts is like comparing night and ay. And the result favors this film.
You get it all here -- impotent military, evil corporate executives, brave and resourceful civilians, a man from a mysterious government agency … it all here.
You even get an impressive "space station destruct" sequence at the start, as an added bonus!

Non-stop Action With Surprises!

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

If you are a fan of the "Rock" this is a no brainer for slam bang entertainment. There is some humor to round it out! While some of the story seems to have been borrowed from other related genre movies, this still manages to successfully provide some fresh twists. Viewers will be kept glued to the screen and entertained from start to finish. I highly recommend this to action film enthusiasts and especially to fans of the "Rock"!
