About Rampage
Primatologist Davis Okoye has kept an unusual bond with George, a highly intelligent silverback raised under his care. When a covert genetic experiment goes wrong, George swells into a colossal, raging creature. Soon other animals affected by the same project turn into enhanced threats. With cities at risk, Okoye must rethink how far he will go to protect his friend and the people around him. He teams up with a disgraced geneticist who claims she can help reverse the mutations, even as the duo faces relentless monster onslaughts and a corporate conspiracy bent on profiting from the chaos. The mission becomes a race against time to halt a worldwide catastrophe and save the creature that once trusted him for survival.
Directed by Brad Peyton, Rampage opened in 2018 globally as a big screen adaptation of the classic arcade game Rampage. It pairs Dwayne Johnson with a science driven premise, turning a game concept into a fast moving urban monster showdown.
Widely released worldwide, Rampage earned 428,028,233 dollars against a budget of 120 million. The film proved to be a strong, broadly successful commercial performer across diverse markets, showcasing mass appeal for a summer action title starring a familiar action star.
Rampage left a clear mark as a dependable crowd pleaser that prioritized spectacle over political subplots. It capitalized on Johnsons star power and the familiar thrill of city scale monster battles, producing memorable set pieces that echo the original game while fueling memes and discussions about big screen creature mayhem.
Critics described Rampage as a well paced popcorn movie that delivers straightforward thrills with solid effects and practical stunts. The film addresses loyalty and responsibility in the face of corporate greed and reckless science, underscoring a simple, ethical core amid the blockbuster chaos. Its tempo keeps action fans engaged consistently.
What Viewers Are Saying
People dug Rampage for the big screen chaos, The Rock's easygoing charm, and the emotional beat with George the mutated gorilla. A lot of reviews say the plot is thin, the science is goofy, and it leans on clichés, with the creature designs mostly meh. Still, audiences walk out entertained, popcorn ready, and happy to watch giant monsters wreck a city instead of chasing a twisty moral.
