There is something fascinating in seeing a several -story gorilla of high destroying skyscrapers. Even more if that gorilla responds to George’s name, he has an emotional connection with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and is facing a mutant crocodila the size of a stadium. It sounds ridiculous, because it is, but that’s how Rampage: eighties action with steroids, giant monsters with charisma and, above all, it is nostalgia turned into a show.
Rampage to finish the week watching television in Mexico
This Sunday, June 15 at 7:45 PM You can live a story full of chaos from the comfort of your armchair, thanks to Channel 5, which will transmit the film Rampage: Devastation On open television.
For those who do not know (or had forgotten), Rampage He was not born in Hollywood. Actually, it was one of the strangest and most beloved video games of the 1980s. Developed by Midway Games in 1986, this Arcadian He put us in control of gigantic creatures (A ape, a lizard and a wolf) whose sole objective was to destroy cities and eat people. The premise was simple, absurd, but incredibly fun. It was Godzilla with a punk or King Kong spirit with pixelated controls.
The film version directed by Brad Peyton takes that basic idea and updates it with all the visual artillery of modern cinema. Here, the protagonist is Davis Okoye (The Rock), a primatologist with military past and an endearing friendship with George, an albino gorilla of exceptional behavior. Everything gets out of control when a genetic experiment transforms George, Ralph (a gray wolf) and Lizzie (a crocodila) into colossal, rabid and lethal creatures. The rest is destruction, helicopters falling, skyscrapers that come down, and a counterreloj race to save the planet. Basically as in the video game
Is it a cinema masterpiece? No. Does that matter? Neither. Rampage It is the type of film that perfectly understands what you want to be: A show full of action, explosions and monsters. So if this Sunday you seem an exaggerated dose of destruction, eighties nostalgia and a good excuse to remember old times, the movie of Rampage It is a great option. See your programming guide in case there are changes without prior notice.
