Originally, the crew thought that New Zealand was the ideal filming location for Skull Island in the film, but after walking into the New Zealand rainforest, they found that there was no different from the scenes in other films and did not have the dangerous terrain required in the story, so the crew decided to build it manually. Weta’s special effects technicians finally completed 53 miniature sets and models, the most detailed of which is the miniature rainforest composed of 104,000 artificial leaves, 4,500 vines, 25,000 miniature plants and 220 miniature trees, and the largest miniature The landscape is 38 meters long, 5.2 meters wide and 5.5 meters high. When designing the ancient creatures on Skull Island, the main creators deliberately deviated from reality and injected more fantasy and fictional elements. This effect is best reflected in the scenes of Thunder Dragon running away and King Kong fighting three Tyrannosaurus. Each dinosaur model used for digital scanning takes 1500 hours to complete.

The first half of this well-made classical adventure film in less than 20 years later in Hollywood has become an absolute hit; the second half of the story of Beauty and the Beast, which now seems to be outdated, just depends on Naomi Watts. The screen charm and Andy Serkis' ground-breaking motion capture acting is convincing, and of course James Newton Howard's soundtrack also contributed. It’s very interesting that this edition has already cue "Heart of Darkness", while the 17 edition directly pays tribute to "Apocalypse Now".

Carl Denham: Bring the tripod and all of the film.
Herb: Want to switch to the six-inch lens?
Carl Denham: [considering Kong, who only he has seen] The wide-angle will do just fine.
