When I first saw this I instantly thought this was just a movie plainly combining Godzilla and King Kong, at least that's how it looked like from the trailer. I firstly really wanted to watch it 'cause I really wanted to see how this type of plot will play out and secondly, Dwayne Johnson is in it.
The starting of the movie was partially cute, because of the relationship between Davis and George, but also really irritating because of Brett and Claire. I was so annoyed and found the reason behind the creation of that virus, serum or whatever ridiculous. I mean, why would you want to create a monster that is aggressive and kills everything? I would understand it more if it was the virus that affected people, but this makes less sense to me. Both were with the same goal, and that is for them to be the heroes that will deliver the cure. But it's still just ridiculous and, at least to me, kinda unrealistic. To me, they were more like villains from some superhero movie, where I wouldn't be surprised by such choices. I know it would probably a cliche if the cause was like a virus that was supposed to be something good and it just took a wrong turn (which it actually could have been, cause the formula was originally created with the purpose of curing Kate's brother). Like for example it reacted well with humans but reacted badly with animal DNA.
Some scenes were kinda just childish, but there weren't too many so it's fine. I loved the combination of action and comedy in the movie, mostly coming from interactions between George and Davis. I loved George's good-hearted and teenage-like character. The effects and the CGI were really good. And in the end, I was really pleased with the plot. It didn't really blew me away but it was a good movie. (Though I don't really see how there will be a positive outcome in the after the movie plot. I mean, yeah obviously George is fine now and as it was seen in the last scene one of the people that were in the crushed building trusted him enough to climb on his hand and for George to deliver him down to the ground. But honestly, I highly doubt that everybody would be trusty like that and kind of would expect them to demand for George to be put down cause they would will fear him. Soo yeah...I don't really see a happily ever after for George, even though it probably was a happily ever after in that movie's universe at least I kind of feel like that was what was indicated by that last scene of George helping a man down)
