The story plunges us into the waning days of the Vietnam era, as American explorer-businessman Bill Randa (John Goodman) attempts to convince his government superiors to let him take a voyage to a remote, skull-shaped island. His team includes bureaucrats, scientists, a helicopter attack brigade led by a hard-ass sergeant (Samuel L. Jackson), a roughneck British tracker (Tom Hiddleston) and a photojournalist (Brie Larson).
As soon as the helicopters approach the island, however, they're being swatted out of the sky and chewed up by cinema's favorite giant primate. Crashing on different parts of the island, what remains of the team struggles to survive, reconnect and escape. People die in creatively graphic ways, and the spectacle of brawling beasts in beautiful, forbidding settings is at times as captivating as it probably was in 1933, when audiences first gaped at Ernest B. Schoedsack and Merian C. Cooper's original King Kong. But there's something curiously soulless about the whole enterprise, even as the filmmakers continually strive for greater resonance or meaning.
