I am honestly speechless at what this movie was trying to be. Iβm usually a big advocate for mindless popcorn flicks, and Dwayne Johnson has a lot of them that I enjoy, but this was just a big-budget mess. The serious moments didn't land, and the funny moments fell totally flat. In fact, the entirely CGI monkey had more personality than almost the entire cast. The only exception? Papa Winchester himself, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who was absolutely perfect. If you want to watch a giant monkey movie, just go watch any of the Kong films instead.
Do you agree with this review?

Primatologist Davis Okoye 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, itβs 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.
