Kong: Skull Island

The legend of King Kong gets a rip-roaring reimagining in this monstrous mash-up of Apocalypse Now and Jurassic Park. It's 1973 and as the US withdraws troops from Vietnam, a helicopter unit led by Lt Colonel Packard (Samuel L Jackson) is assigned to escort a secret expedition to map an uncharted Pacific island "where myth and science meet". Like the soldiers and scientists, British tracker Conrad (Tom Hiddlestone) and war photographer Weaver (Brie Larson) think they've seen it all. But the island's resident ape-god knocks that idea out of them before their feet have even touched the ground... And that's just the beginning. Survival of the fittest? You'd better get fitter.
