Hello I'm Alan and I'll be commenting on this film. #Ramp2018

mgm.ink 5:53:02.04 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Hello Hervey here, I'm excited to join the rampage #ramp2018

mgm.ink 5:54:32.20 PM · Oct 25, 2025

BEAUTIFUL WB shield to start this, it's so orange #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 5:55:30.93 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Wow, we're starting in space. Surprising twist! #ramp2018

mgm.ink 5:56:09.87 PM · Oct 25, 2025

We're seeing floating laptops and floating corpses, starting with a bang #ramp2018

mgm.ink 5:57:23.48 PM · Oct 25, 2025

The space doctor is securing the space samples #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 5:58:11.47 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I hope this space scientist gets home safe. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 5:58:32.75 PM · Oct 25, 2025

This space guinea pig is a clear threat to hull security #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 5:59:27.23 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Oh no, space scientist down. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 5:59:40.02 PM · Oct 25, 2025

RIP spacedoctor #ShesWIthTheSpaceAngelsNow #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:00:42.13 PM · Oct 25, 2025

We're in San Diego! #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:01:28.11 PM · Oct 25, 2025

These gorillas are moving faster and more agilely than any gorillas I've ever seen. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:03:18.12 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Damn, I was really hoping that these three assistants to The Rock would turn into the three monsters, but now I see that the albino gorilla already exists #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:03:45.74 PM · Oct 25, 2025

George the CG gorilla is a star #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:04:51.51 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I hope the whole film is just The Rock communicating with gorillas. #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:06:03.81 PM · Oct 25, 2025

This woman who is hitting on The Rock looks like she could be his daughter. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:06:35.23 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I'm actually enjoying that the vibe so far is "elevated CBS sitcom" #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:07:01.31 PM · Oct 25, 2025

"Animals like you, they like you. They don't like you, they eat you." #ClassicMovieLines #ramp2018

Space samples have touched down #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:07:46.10 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Space strikes back! #SpaceStrike #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:08:34.23 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Almost everything is clearly kinda offkilter CG, even things that have no reason to be, this is real Zemeckis-core #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:08:44.38 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Love seeing more of the San Diego Zoo. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:09:45.07 PM · Oct 25, 2025

It's actually the San Diego Wildlife Preserve #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:11:03.80 PM · Oct 25, 2025

The Rock now has to deal with the classic problem of Gorilla Expansion #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:12:36.39 PM · Oct 25, 2025

This company seems slightly unethical #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:13:02.48 PM · Oct 25, 2025

"There's a reason we were doing these experiments in space" definitely giving "I just want to be awesome in space" vibes. #ClassicMovieLines #TearsOfSteel #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:14:26.24 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Our new protagonist is studying genetics. Could be useful! #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:15:11.02 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I like that we get a full on-screen shot of her ID card in the first 10 seconds she's on screen, very helpful (her name is Kathleen, if I read it right) #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:16:01.86 PM · Oct 25, 2025

This movie moves like Jumper. Now we're in Wyoming! #WyomingTrip #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:16:27.51 PM · Oct 25, 2025

We're covering so many different locations, this isn't exactly "coherent" or "good" storytelling, but if feels very Earful #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:18:18.99 PM · Oct 25, 2025

The Rock knows that his gorilla friend is more useful massive and alive than dead and not massive. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:19:31.08 PM · Oct 25, 2025

"He's growing, isn't he?" #ClassicMovieLines #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:19:53.05 PM · Oct 25, 2025

They're going to run out of cages large enough pretty soon. #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:28:02.60 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Very nice website she's got on her phone that shows all the cool animal traits. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:28:42.82 PM · Oct 25, 2025

It seems like a great business plan to test the "make animals power and unpredictable" serum on a space station #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:29:23.61 PM · Oct 25, 2025

"It's not gonna hold" #ClassicMovieLines #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:31:00.28 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I feel like George getting tranquilized is a very reasonable step and not worth this level of drama. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:31:12.46 PM · Oct 25, 2025

George has been tranquilized, glad that we've solved our conflicts #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:34:40.69 PM · Oct 25, 2025

These guys getting decimated by this wolf is giving StarCraft opening cinematic vibes. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:35:39.60 PM · Oct 25, 2025

This reminds me more of a Cabela's hunting game, great POV shots of elk jumping at you #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:35:56.67 PM · Oct 25, 2025

This wolf is really outclassing George so far, much more impressive monster #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:36:35.01 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Why is The Rock in handcuffs? #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:36:58.90 PM · Oct 25, 2025

His primatology was downright criminal #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:41:26.18 PM · Oct 25, 2025

The government seems to have everything under control here. What a relief. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:42:05.01 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I thought I could trust Kate, until I learned she stole those disk drives

Let's trust the govt guy to simply destroy George #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:44:06.81 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Glad to see that modifying radio antennae at the top of the Willis Tower isn't caught up in red tape, this is such a smoothly running operation #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:44:14.46 PM · Oct 25, 2025

This dialogue is parody-level dumb action movie dialogue. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:44:53.15 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I think it's actually very smart

UPDATE: Ralph is visiting Mount Rushmore #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:45:21.33 PM · Oct 25, 2025

UPDATE: the lizard we haven't seen in 45 minutes is back, and headed for Chicago #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:47:04.77 PM · Oct 25, 2025

George has apparently inherited the "don't be harmed by bullets" trait from the most bulletproof animal #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:47:19.65 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I recommend they stop shooting George. #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:47:54.72 PM · Oct 25, 2025

George can turn this plane around. #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:49:46.14 PM · Oct 25, 2025

The Rock going the extra mile to save the government dude. #TrueHeroism #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:50:00.95 PM · Oct 25, 2025

No way George can survive that one #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:50:21.27 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Can't kill George at this point. #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:51:59.44 PM · Oct 25, 2025

"Thank you for getting this ol' cowboy off that plane" #ClassicMovieLines #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:52:31.95 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Evil Company seems to have two arcade machines in their office #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:54:16.17 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Malin Akerman is attempting to pin the monsterification on Kate, and folks, #ThatsNotRight #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:56:43.27 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I like how even a shot like "human being The Rock, standing in front of some corn fields" looks like 98% CG #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 6:57:17.95 PM · Oct 25, 2025

"Every time I'd make a breakthrough that could help my brother they were secretly using it to make weaponized DNA." #FirstWorldProblems #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:58:46.50 PM · Oct 25, 2025

UPDATE: George and Ralph now appear to be making a coordinated long-distance journey #ramp2018

mgm.ink 6:59:26.23 PM · Oct 25, 2025

"This is no longer a wolf and a gorilla" - The Rock, who must know about the lizard as well #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:03:23.59 PM · Oct 25, 2025

If they believe CEO Claire has the antidote, what exactly are they adding to the equation? I say trust Claire #TrustClaire #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:04:42.47 PM · Oct 25, 2025

George and Ralph have been blown up; RIP George and Ralph #theygone #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:05:20.18 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Oh wow, they survived #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:05:40.84 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Finally they're evacuating Chicago! #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:06:06.45 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I worry that they're never going to get everyone out of the city in time #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:07:09.24 PM · Oct 25, 2025

We're finally delivering on the promise of a true rampage #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:08:25.95 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Makes sense the military doesn't have a submarine in the Chicago river. #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:08:52.74 PM · Oct 25, 2025

LIZARD IS HERE! #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:09:42.15 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I suspect that if all forces are directed at Lizzy the Lizard, she will very quickly be exterminated #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:10:04.47 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Calling it now: it's only a matter of time before they decide to go nuclear. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:10:55.44 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I agree with The Rock: I think the antidote would be very helpful right now #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:12:33.33 PM · Oct 25, 2025

The bomb that will wipe out half of Chicago: now leaving from MO #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:12:58.48 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Looking forward to seeing these B-2s in action! #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:13:49.34 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Oh no, Kate's workstation has been decommissioned by the FBI. #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:14:42.78 PM · Oct 25, 2025

2018 was a big year for The Rock films with business tycoons escaping via helicopter while there is somebody infiltrating their building. #SkyscraperRampage #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:15:28.49 PM · Oct 25, 2025

The cure for monsterism has been located #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:19:47.02 PM · Oct 25, 2025

UPDATES: Rock shot, monsters now climbing Willis Tower #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:20:21.40 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Yesssss, GEORGE IS BACK! #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:21:12.55 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I hope the monsters destroy the radio signal that's annoying them, and are able to live happily ever after #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:22:35.73 PM · Oct 25, 2025

The shot of the woman being eaten by the gorilla looked like the cheapest CG imaginable. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:22:55.11 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Finally delivering on the last of the checkboxes for a Rampage adaptation: human eaten #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:24:22.29 PM · Oct 25, 2025

In the last five minutes we've gotten Malin Akerman saying "That happened", and now the cowboy guy saying "Oh man, that was a lot", after two horrific violent acts

2018 really peak soy-writing #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:25:02.70 PM · Oct 25, 2025

How is this radio antenna so hard to destroy? They're monsters!! #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:26:24.23 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Among other bullshit happening, I believe The Loop has been partially destroyed #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:26:38.73 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Helicopter plan worked out surprisingly well. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:27:28.79 PM · Oct 25, 2025

The Rock is doing quite well for a guy who's been shot and has been in a helicopter crash #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:27:55.25 PM · Oct 25, 2025

"I can't believe we survived that" #ClassicMovieLines #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:29:15.62 PM · Oct 25, 2025

George better not turn on his monster brethren #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:29:26.16 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Now George is on our side! #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:29:42.45 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I don't really care about any of the people or animals in this film. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:30:12.69 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I like Lizzy #TeamLizzy #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:30:40.13 PM · Oct 25, 2025

"Of course the wolf flies" #ClassicMovieLines #PeakSoy #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:33:15.76 PM · Oct 25, 2025

George to the rescue! #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:35:03.74 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Looking good for Team Lizzy right now 😎 #LizItUp #BigLizard #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:35:28.30 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I say drop the MOAB. The whole serum plan isn't really working and it seems like the best option at this point. #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:36:01.36 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Nice that the heavily damaged helicopter started up with all systems green! #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:36:44.45 PM · Oct 25, 2025

This monster has destroyed so many helicopters already. What is one more really going to do? The Rock should know this. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:36:57.13 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Lizzy ain't never going down! #TeamLizzy #ImmortalLiz #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:37:57.98 PM · Oct 25, 2025

MOAB incoming! #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:38:11.30 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Oh nevermind they called it off. Boooooo. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:38:21.18 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Really sad Lizzy wasn't able to enjoy a final snack of The Rock #RipLizzy #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:39:21.18 PM · Oct 25, 2025

If George survives, he could really be a part of Chicago's big comeback

Could be a bigger tourist attraction than The Bean #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:40:42.17 PM · Oct 25, 2025

The whole crew is here! But what about The Rock's hapless assistants from San Diego? Will we ever see them again? #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:41:41.29 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I'm honestly shocked that they weren't a bigger part of the movie, they honestly vibed with the film's general MO so well #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:42:05.43 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I'm so sick of George's bullshit #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:42:29.02 PM · Oct 25, 2025

I'd be OK if this film ended about five minutes ago. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:43:31.85 PM · Oct 25, 2025

This isn't film

It's impossible to overstate how bad this looks

Characters are just repeating lines #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:44:13.89 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Wow, four people credited for the screenplay. It takes a village! #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:45:19.63 PM · Oct 25, 2025

Overall, I expected this movie to be stupid, and targeted strictly at 11-year-old boys, but it significantly undershot the level of sophistication I expected

I did not like it at all, but I do have to admit that it's antic enough to be an Earful movie #ramp2018

thisisalan.com 7:46:19.45 PM · Oct 25, 2025

There's definitely a lot to potentially dissect. Tracking the evolution of the monsters could be fun. I don't know that it's a very enjoyable world to be immersed in for 40 hours, though. #ramp2018

mgm.ink 7:47:07.75 PM · Oct 25, 2025

God, it would have been so much better if his three assistants turned into the monsters

Should have hired me as the script doctor #ramp2018
