Rampage - 2018

in progress.... 

Not bad, quite entertaining, although I’m not too eager to watch it again because the scenes without animals are also a bit boring… but the scenes with George were adorable!!!

Though there is the question of why George didn’t become much much bigger… why was he smaller than the wolf? Different sample, maybe? But wasn’t it all the same research? Well, it’s the only explanation I’ve got…

Plot in details:

A company dealing in altering genetics sent some experiment to be analysed in space, but it got out of control and all the humans died. There was one survivor, but she was forced to try and save some samples of the experiment or they won’t allow her access to the escape pod; she manages three before fleeing, but her pod is damaged and she dies too, and the explosion scatters the three samples through the US. One gets eaten by a crocodile, one infects a wolf, and one infects our George.

George is a gorilla living in the wildlife Sanctuary of San Diego where Davis Okoye works, the expert on primates and also the one who ‘adopted’ him after some poachers bastards killed his mother. 

Davis has been a soldier in many battles, survived a lot, and has learnt that humans always lie and look for something, always minding their own personal interest, and that animals are actually much much better.

He’s so very worried when George starts growing and growing and also becoming increasingly aggressive.

Thing is, soulless bastard Claire Wyden and her spineless, brainless brother Brett are responsible for this. They sent mercenaries after the wolf, but they all die. 

Claire activates a signal that will make these genetically altered animals do whatever it takes to get to it and make it stop (they can hear it because the bat’s sonar is part of the genetic alteration)

Kate Caldwell used to work for Claire, but she hoped that her research could help her dying brother, while Claire only cared about money. Kate got fired, and when she tried to take away her own research, they had her arrested for theft and put in jail for a year.

Davis hoped Kate would help him cure George, but at least she figures out that they might be following the signal.
