New Showbiz Analysis

Rampage is a typical high-budget action film that focuses on broad appeal. While it includes a diverse cast and a strong female lead, it follows well-known blockbuster formulas and hero types. The film's most compelling theme is its criticism of corporate misconduct. By portraying a biotech company as the antagonist, it highlights issues of unchecked power and negligence. Overall, the film does not engage with LGBTQ+ identities or disability representation, making it inclusive in casting but conventional in character dynamics.

Official Synopsis

Primatologist Davis Okoye shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.
