A secret genetic weapon developed by a technology company fell to Earth from outer space, and three beasts it came into contact with were affected and mutated, including an albino chimpanzee adopted by primate biologists as a child. The three rapidly mutated beasts received signals from the technology company and rushed to Chicago with all their strength. No conventional weapons could do anything to them, and a city-destroying battle was imminent.

This film is a standard industrial assembly line commercial film. From the opening title to the character setting, plot advancement, climax and happy ending, it can be said that it is completely "expected" by the audience. The director's intention is also very clear, that is, to let everyone enjoy a no-brainer audio-visual feast with popcorn in the theater. There are not too many movies about giant beasts destroying cities, and it is really not easy to make some "colorful" movies. Fortunately, the director of this film who once created "Doomsday Collapse" is very familiar with such movies. The last Chicago With the help of realistic special effects, the giant beasts tore up buildings, destroyed bridges, threw Humvees, and smashed Apaches with their bare hands.

The big Dwayne Johnson cooperated with the director again after "Doomsday Collapse", playing the role of a former special forces primatologist who joins forces with mutant gorillas to save mankind from danger. From this point of view, this film is quite a bit like Schwarzenegger of the last century. The taste of the tough guy movies like Grid and Stallone, the tough guy who can't be killed is in danger, and finally not only saves the world but also brings the beauty back. It is worth mentioning that the government official played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan of "Negan", the villain of "The Walking Dead", whether intentional or not, his words and deeds (even his hairstyle) are always the same as holding a baseball bat at any time. Taking the life of "Negan" is highly consistent, which makes people feel like they are in a drama, especially in the film, he is still a positive character. As for the heroine Naomie Harris, who completed the role of the vase very well, there is nothing to say.
