The Rampage Full Movies information

in #rock7 years ago

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson might have the lock on playing the classic "Pulp" hero.

The cinematic Rampage starts playing with both trope & genre, as astronaut/scientist Dr. Atkins (Marley Sheton) making a harrowing "Final/Survivor Girl" escape from a doomed space station in orbit over planet Earth. The research station bears a resemblance to that stereotypical, generic International Space Station look to the research stations depicted in the schlock Alien ripoff Life & the more ponderous drama Gravity. (Now that I think about it, didn't each of those have a similar ending?) Rampage establishes tropes, world & background quickly through a few efficient interactions, keeping the focus tight on the final moments of a survival/scifi horror story.

Corporate big bad Energyne is using the Artemis space station to conduct illegal genetic modification research that, of course, goes awry. Their Weyland-Yutani credentials established, it's time for a giant lab rat to chase Sheton trough exploding corridors in zero-G. It's like the creative team here decided to give you a TL;DR version of the aforementioned Life, plus a few more flicks tossed in, just to save you $20 and 90 minutes of your life lost to a far inferior film.

The escape doesn't go as planned, and 3 cannisters of genetic modification science experiment... stuff get launched out across North America.

Cut to Davis Okoye (Dwayne Johnson), an impoverished, down on his luck petty thief on the run
