What's the Story?

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, it’s 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.

Violence & Scariness Moderate

3/5

A giant gorilla, a giant wolf, and a giant crocodile attack a city, causing widespread destruction. Numerous soldiers are killed after being stepped on, bitten, thrown through the air, crushed by falling debris or other objects, and caught inside destroyed military vehicles. A gorilla attacks an airplane while the aircraft fires at it. A man gets into a brief fight. He knocks one man unconscious with a punch, then slowly chokes another man unconscious using a chokehold. A man is crushed by falling masonry, causing a large spray of blood to splatter across a glass window. The scene quickly cuts away to another character reacting in shock.

Sex, Romance & Nudity Mild

A woman's underwear is briefly visible, another woman wears a top showing cleavage, and one monster makes suggestive hand gestures.

The Review

Written by Parent Guide Plus Editors

The plot is so thin you can see through it. The dialogue is corny. The characters are one dimensional. But the Rock delivers and it's an entertaining film. Don't try and think about it there's nothing to consider. Monsters, explosions and Dwayne.
