If You Haven't Gone Deaf and Blind Watching the Eye-and-Ear Assault brought about by the the Never-Subtle, Never-Beautiful, Never-Rich Display On-Hand in these CGI Overload Movies in the Modern Era,
You Might Possibly Enjoy the Onslaught of Masochistic Mayhem Offered for Your Consideration.
Considering the "Monster-Movie" has been Around, Well, as Long as Movies Have Been Around, its a Solid, Fan-Friendly, Easy Sell.
120 Years may have Passed, but the Formula is the Same, the "Monsters" the Same, the Soft-Sell the Same, it's Only the "Method", the "Means", the Way that the "Monsters" are Animated Amongst the Humans and the Landscape that has Changed.
Nothing Changed Much from 1925 to the 1950's (except technicolor and sound), from Willis O" Brian and His "Stop-Motion" Monsters to Ray Harryhausen and His "Stop-Motion" Monsters. Harryhausen Perfected the "Art" that Obie Invented, but it was Basically the Same Delivery System.
You Could Call Their Work "Organic", the way it Looks and Feels.
You Could Not Call the Current CGI "Monsters" Organic by any Stretch, in Fact, the Complete Opposite...In-Organic. It Brings with it a Certain Laborious, Ultimately Annoying, Ambience of Color-Drained (what remains is blue and white), Loud, almost Deafening Sound.
Viewer Fatigue Sets In, just Watching Becomes a Taxing Burdon. Taxing on the Eyes, Taxing on the Ears, Taxing on the Brain.... You Feel the Need to Bale.
There's too Much of Everything in the "Art-Form" and Not Enough Ingredients to Soften the Presentation and Provide Contrasting Templates...It All Looks and Sounds the Same.
Perhaps if there was a "Killer-Story", No it's "Monster-Movie" 101, Recycled for the CGI Generation of Artists and Fans.
A Story about an Iconic "Ape" and "Lizard"...Maybe Could Be a Little More...Organic.
For What it is...
Worth a Watch.
