How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A bonkers monster-adventure sequel that doubles down on spectacle and romance between two colossal apes, embracing its premise with gleeful disregard for restraint. It's a film that knows exactly what it is, absurdist rubber-suit carnage with genuine stakes.
