SYNOPSIS
In 1993, a breakthrough new technology gave scientists a path to treat incurable diseases through genetic editing. In 2016, due to its potential for misuse, the U.S. Intelligence Community designated genetic editing a “Weapon of Mass Destruction and Proliferation.”
Johnson stars as primatologist Davis Okoye, a man who keeps people at a distance but shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, incredibly rare albino silverback gorilla who has been in his care since he rescued the young orphan from poachers. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size.
To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created super creatures tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with discredited geneticist Kate Caldwell (Naomie Harris) to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.

Hmm, good question. They're both really fun movies but I'm going to go with Kong. The destruction in Rampage is truly a sight to behold, but Kong is the more consistent movie in terms of presentation and tone, and of course it has John C. Reilly.

I really can't answer that. Going to depend on which one you prefer, and may also depend on the technical merits and we don't know how the Rampage UHD will look/sound yet.
Edit: I'll give it a guess, though:
[Show spoiler]My guess is that this disc will look pretty good--good enough to edge out Kong, which isn't exactly the best looking UHD out there. And even though Kong sound great, I think the Atmos mix here will be even more intense if it's anything like what I saw in the Dolby Cinema. But there's just not much to grasp onto in Rampage outside of the destruction and monsters. The characters and storyline just don't matter. George is pretty cool, but none of the human characters are particularly well written or acted. But the destruction. It should be glorious. So if you're just in it for that, this will probably be the disc you watch more. But if you're looking for something with more interesting performances and a story that amounts to something, Kong would likely be your pick.
Watched about 15 minutes of a major fight scene. It's sharp and clear, although from a 2K master. Reminds me of how San Andreas looks. Much of this movie reminds me of San Andreas and I feel like it can't be a coincidence. Nevertheless - Some disappointing results.
It's another film where the grading brightness and colors seems to miraculously change from shot to shot. It's like shots are graded independently with no regard for what an immediately preceding or following shot looks like. One shot looks like its during a bright sunny day then the following shot within the same scene looks like its a cloudy day or at dusk LOL. One light source may be a bright blinding yellow then cut to a different angle and it's a dull one. I've seen this issue crop up more and more frequently (or maybe because I'm just watching more HDR content), but it looks bad.
It got me wondering whether or not bits and pieces of movies these days are outsourced to different units for grading/editing which would explain no real frame of reference and lack of consistency.
Speaking of the VUDU UHD version, if you're planning to get the Disc+Digital promotion, everyone should be aware the price is $24.96(plus tax) and not the $29.96 that the site is listing. The lower price will show up when you're checking out.
Same thing with A Quiet Place. The site lists $27.96, but it's really $24.96.
