King
Kong
The
movie is about a huge ape that stands 7,6 meters tall and weighs 3,600
kilograms. The movie last for three hours of viewing pleasure. Briefly, the
remake of King Kong involved over 5.000 computers with the processing power of
more than 15.000 PCs that created effects shots.
This
project consumed so much electricity at the special effects hours. Weta Digital,
that the company had to build a special substation to prevent any electrical
disruption to the residents in the vicinity.
The
director of the movie is Peter Jackson, the renowned. Director of the lord of
the Rings trilogy. Jackson is determined not just remake giant King Kong but to
present the classical feature of the creature. There are plenty of special
effects rooted in this epic movie that are in the visual magic made possible
only via the celluloid medium.
The
story is about Ann (played by Naomi Watts) who falls in love with a
scriptwriter, Jack Driscoll (played by
Andrien Brody). They go through hell when the natives catch her and
offer her to King Kong as a sacrifice.
The
most thrilling part of the movie is seeing the giant ape battling againts T-Rex
and other assorted monsters with his bare hands. Instead of battering two
monsters, a giant snake and a T-Rexes like before, King Kong now has to fight
against T-Rexes. Three is a part cleverly set for all the creature, including
Ann, to fall through and land in a vine-laden canyon.
The
natural movement of King Kong eyes, giant feet, shoulders and hand gerstures
are trademarks of the legendary mountain gorilla. King Kong may have gradually
changed his physical structure, but the ape characteristic remain intact.
