Re: Rampage (2018, D: Peyton) -- S: Dwayne Johnson -- Based on the Midway Video Game
Here's the synopsis from Warner:
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 transforms this gentle ape into a raging monster. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered alpha predators. As these newly created monsters 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.

You have to admire Johnson's work ethic. Even some of his silliest roles, he dedicates himself in the gym to get in top physical shape for it. I'm sure he could not work out for 1 month and still be able to do this role on Rampage.

Yes, because we all know primatologists have to be jacked SOBs to be successful in studying primates.

I was kind of hoping it would be more wolf-man than wolf.. same with the croc since in the game they revert back to a human form.

Trailer was yanked already and that poster looks like very poorly done fan art ... no, actually it looks like my Colorforms I had as a kid. Are we sure this is real?

Even without sound the trailer has me ready to buy a ticket as it looks like a fun man vs nature film. I can't wait to watch this with sound when I get home.

Yikes. Liked the reveal at the end, because I was all like "they're missing a monster."
Hated that awful remixed smashing pumpkins song. It looks like a cheesefest, though. I'll wait for home video.

Guaranteed to give my subwoofer a workout. Looks better than I expected.

I'm sure there will be drinking games for every time The Rock says, "George."
Heck, you could get drunk just on the trailer alone.

Wait, they're just big animals? The animals are supposed to be mutated humans! Why even make this movie if they aren't going to follow the storyline of the game?

My brother and I said the same thing... then he thought maybe they didn't want to deal with the nudity of defeat.

I completely forgot they were making this. Trailer rolled at Justice League and I was like “are they remaking Mighty Joe Young?” Then the wolf appeared and I was like “what...” then they started smashing the city and I was like “ohhhhhhhh” My brother and I spent a Saturday beating the NES game for that shitty ending. This can’t be worse than that!
