Kong: King of Atlantis (2005 Video) User Reviews

Not bad

[BandSAboutMovies · 4/10 · 26 March 2021]

This film reunites the cast from Kong: The Animated Series and even had a Game Boy Advance video game made from it. It's all about Queen Reptilla raising the kingdom of Atlantis back from the ocean floor and her trying to convince King Kong into becoming its ruler. There's a really great scene in the beginning as the shaman Lua has a nightmare about Kong climbing the Empire State Building and New York City flooding around him. Just as suddenly, black tar begins appearing all over Kong Island, taking many of the animals away with it. Jason, the adopted human brother of Kong, and Lua argue between saving Kong Island and rescuing its animals. She refuses to tell him that a dark prophecy is here, which begins with an eclipse and will end with Kong bringing back the lizard race that once ruled the planet. Oh yeah - the original Kong, who this one is cloned from, is the one who sunk Atlantis in the first place. This is a surprisingly dark entry in the Kong cartoon series, with the titular ape worrying about proving himself, dark elder gods returning to Earth and baby cubs watching their mothers be pulled into tar pits. I enjoyed it, but you may want to discuss it with your kids after they enjoy it. Or you know, just let them watch Jess Franco movies and let them become maniacs.

Really cool!

I think this was really cool! I honestly feel the old Kong needs to be upgraded big time and this sci-fi mix of the old Kong and a new one is actually a good idea! The film also has a sequel "Kong - Return to the Jungle". I think both the films actually work. Jason taking control of Kong telepathically is something reminiscent of the Giant Robot series but only cooler! Even the animation quality is pretty good. Maybe Peter Jackson should try this concept out for his next KONG film! All in all, kids of all ages should like this... The movie basically introduces us to a new Kong who has been reconstructed using the DNA of the original King Kong. Jason is his 'brother' i.e. he can telepathically connect with this this Kong and together they save the world!

This is a great movie

This a very good movie. It not as good as King Kong (1933). It is not has good has Son of Kong. It is not as good as King Kong vs Godzilla. It is not has good has King Kong escapes. It is not has good has King Kong (1976). It is not has good has King Kong lives. It is not has good as King Kong (2005). It is not has good has Kong skull island. But still a very good movie. It has a great story line. It has great acting. It also has great animation. 5.1 is underrating it. I do not why people do not like this movie. It is a great movie. I give it 7.
