Synopsis: A filming crew travels to a small island to make a film and there they find a prehistoric world ruled by a giant gorilla.
Appraisal: You may think of it as a piece of propaganda about the wonders of computer generated imagery, the main selling point being: the film within the film is an extreme example of the difficulties of on-location shooting, while the film we watch has no troubles of this kind, because everything is done in the computer. It's not really a film about humans, and it's not a film about animals, either. The actors are mere props here. This film's philosophy of spectacle is summarized in the scene where Ann performs for Kong, art as just a means of calming the beast within every one of us.
