Subtitled "Big meets Bigger", this 2018 action movie stars The Rock against a bunch of mutated animals.
And when it was on national television a few weeks ago, me and Noshi sat down for a saturday evening of sheer mindless entertainment...
The movie starts with a space station being under attack by some strange lifeform, but one astronaut escapes with a top secret research project... until her escape pod explodes and the experiment falls to earth.
Here it crashes in a few places, unleashing a gas that mutates a few animals to strange new lifeforms. One of those is George, an Albino gorilla and friend of Davis Okeye (the Rock), an animal handler that raised the big ape from it's infancy.
The animals are lured to Chicago by the developpers of the gas, and here they go on a rampage as the military can't contain them, and Okeye and his team need to stop the big beasts of totally destroying the city. A counter-serum is stolen from the laboratory, and George is the first one to get it and return to his more normal personality, helping Okeye to contain the other beasts.
Okay, so this definitly isn't Oscar material, but it is what it is, pure monster focussed entertainment that don't require hard brainworking. Something we can definitly enjoy these days after a marathon of chasing a crawling around Baby Thorin x-D
And it is nothing more than that, good, mindless action stuff for a lazy evening, and nothing is wrong with that IMHO...
