Kong –Skull Island - Review
I personally didn't like the way they had made King Kong the last time.
King kong falls in love with a Sapien women! Wierd Idea. Wasn’t it?
But looks like the guys have learnt their mistakes and it reflects in the “Kong – Skull Island”. No Love. No threads. Just evolution and survival and a lot of creativity and wild imagination. “Kong – Skull Island” is worth-watching for the special effects part, I would rather say.
There were scenes here and there, where the mighty Kong trying to save the lady but that is ok since the story says Kong assumes himself the savior of the island. The film is a treat for all 3D lovers.
The film argues that the planet belongs to mighty creatures and sapiens are only by-products of evolution or some extra-terrestrials who ended up in the planet through some stranded meteor or comet that carried sapien DNA in times unknown.
I am kind of not really convinced how mighty animals could exist in the same time as average sapiens. Mighty animals had their shot long back. Excessive Carbon, relatively closer moon or may be more than one moon and several other factors might have contributed to the mightiness of raptors, t-rex or kongs. The kind of ecology that exists in today's world cannot support mighty animals. So technically god's creations have limitations imposed by laws of physics.
How can we possibly expect the fundamental elements that we have in our periodic table exhibit two different behavior when subject to same environmental conditions is my simple question.
The film “Godzilla” had a scientific explanation to this and I consider it, a clever one conceptually. It reasoned that the mightiness was brought by the frequent nuclear bomb tests in that part of the planet which caused abundant cellular activity that indirectly contributed to the mightiness. Hard core Sci-Fi. Isn’t it? Even "Jurassic Park" had this "lab" rationale that filled the logical holes. But “Kong-Skull Island” fails to provide any such strong rationale for the co-existence of average sapiens and mighty Kongs together.
Apart from all these ironies, I enjoyed the film for its graphical hallucinations in 3D. Worth watching for the 15dollars I spent on the ticket in the Regal10 cinemas of Sandy Springs. Didn’t regret the money spent on it. Guess What? I was the 3rd among the only 3 that were watching this movie in that 500 seat capacity hall.
