When you're a child of four, you do everything with your brothers and sisters. You play together, you eat together, you even get haircuts together. And, if one of you is due for a dentist appointment, all of you are. There needs to be an order behind the madness.
I mention this because someone at my dentist office - I don't know who - set up an N64 in the waiting area for kids. There were only two games for it, Pokémon Snap and Rampage World Tour. 6-year-old me loved Rampage; the wholesale destruction of buildings, the murder of innocent civilians - it was perfect. At home, I could enjoy Banjo Kazooie but it was nothing like Rampage. Banjo collected puzzle pieces and Jinjos. George, Lizzie and Ralph ate people.
Little did I know that there would be a Rampage movie at some point. Little did anyone. I wonder what 6-year-old Drew would've thought of Rampage.
Well, I have the next best thing. I know what adult Drew thinks of Rampage. It's routine.
Rampage
Director: Brad Peyton
Rated: PG-13
Release Date: April 12, 2018
Rampage stars actual boulder Dwayne Johnson as Davis Okoye, a primatologist who's formed a fraternal bond with George, an albino gorilla that Okoye has looked after since infancy. When George is inadvertently exposed to a genetic-altering substance, things start to change. George starts to grow, and Okoye starts to worry for his gorilla-bro. As the situation soon gets too big (heh) for Okoye to handle, he utilizes the help of Dr. Kate Caldwell (Naomie Harris) to save George, as he's not the only creature that's grown as big as a building recently.
The plot isn't why anyone is seeing Rampage. People want to see things get destroyed by big monsters. With any luck, buildings will go down in such a cavalier and entertaining manner that it'll be worth the price of admission. You know what? Those people are right. Rampage isn't concerned with the lives of the people in the city, it focuses in on the spectacle of big monsters tearing through a metropolis in a cartoonish, well, rampage. Thank god! I was concerned that there wouldn't be any of that. Rest assured, Rampage sure does rampage.
