Watch now:

“Rampage 2: Extinction Event” is an unapologetic, glorious tsunami of cinematic destruction, a film that takes the core appeal of the first movie and detonates it on a global, city-shattering scale. Dwayne Johnson returns as the charismatic anchor, Davis Okoye, but the film smartly understands that the real stars are the monsters. The premise is a perfect escalation: the pathogen has spread, birthing a rogue’s gallery of continent-threatening Titans, from a Kraken that wraps itself around skyscrapers to a subterranean scorpion that literally shatters the earth. This isn’t just a crisis; it’s the end of the Anthropocene, and the visual effects team delivers this apocalypse with a terrifying, beautiful sense of weight and power.

The film’s brilliant, crowd-pleasing twist is the transformation of the beloved albino gorilla, George, from a victim into a weapon. Strapped into military-grade titanium armor, he becomes the ultimate kaiju countermeasure, a symbol of primal fury enhanced by human ingenuity. His bond with Johnson’s Okoye provides the film’s emotional core, grounding the spectacle in a powerful friendship. The villain, played with scenery-chewing relish by Jason Momoa, is the perfect mad conductor for this symphony of chaos. The final act—a titanic battle across the burning Dubai skyline, culminating in an armored George and Davis Okoye tag-teaming a Kraken on the Burj Khalifa—is a landmark of blockbuster spectacle. It is pure, unadulterated visual adrenaline, a sequence so audaciously large and thrillingly executed it redefines the term “popcorn entertainment.”

Earning a thunderous 9.3/10, “Extinction Event” is the ultimate monster movie sequel. It delivers on every promise of its title with staggering scale, relentless action, and a surprising amount of heart. It is bigger, louder, and infinitely more destructive, a masterclass in delivering the exact, spectacular, grin-inducing chaos audiences crave. Score: 9.3/10
