Rampage: How and why the film works with the game to be successful | Pixels, Popcorn

How do you turn a 1980s arcade cabinet—built on the simple premise of monsters punching skyscrapers—into a $120 million blockbuster? In this episode of Pixels, Popcorn, we’re looking at Rampage (2018) and why it might be one of the most watchable video game adaptations ever made. In this video, we discuss: The Reinvention: How the film threw out the "humans-to-monsters" origin in favor of "genetic editing gone wild" by the evil corporation, Energyne. The Emotional Anchor: Why the relationship between Dwayne Johnson and George, the albino gorilla, is the smartest decision the movie made. The Monsters: From the internet naming the giant wolf "Ralph" to the final boss reveal of Lizzie the crocodile. The "Secret Sauce": Why the film succeeds by embracing the chaos—including flying wolves—instead of apologizing for its source material. The Cast: Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s "swaggering cowboy" performance and Malin Åkerman’s Saturday-morning-cartoon villain energy. Rampage works because it knows exactly what it is. It doesn't drown itself in exposition or fight its own premise, it just gives us exactly what we wanted to see from the creature feature.
