Universal Kong

King Kong 360 3D was specially shot by Peter Jackson for the Universal Studio tram tour in LA. You can watch it on YouTube but to get the full experience you have to be on the tram tour.

This is a new segment of the tram tour in Universal LA and until we were asked to put our 3D glasses on I forgot about this part being in 3D. The film is only a few minutes long and rather fast and frenetic. It starts off with some dinosaurs and you feel you are being attacked before King Kong shows up. Then another tram (part of the filmed segment) is under attack before a giant spider shows up which always freaks out the little kids and it is up to Kong to save the tram.

I know my kids enjoyed this, it is good to see the whole 360 effect as Kong jumps from one part of the screen to the other side but it is all a blur as it is just too frenzied.

Warning: Spoilers
"King Kong 360 3-D" is a live action short film from 2010 that runs for under 3 minutes and was directed by Peter Jackson ("Lord of the Rings"). The title here gives away already who the star in here is: it is King Kong. This is a little theme park attraction video which pretends the visitors live thousands of years ago in the age of dinosaurs and it's not just dinosaurs, but also giant spiders and King Kong who gets into a brawl with two of the dinosaurs. Can you even call it a brawl? It's a very one-sided fight actually. I liked watching it and I guess it must be even more effective and breathtaking when you sit in there yourself. The only reason why I don't give this one more stars is the fact that I have never been a huge King Kong fan and because I find the combination of dinosaurs vs King Kong a bit odd. Sometimes it is just an animal fighting video to be honest. But the ending makes up for it, even if there is a crucial error in terms of perspective in there. You will know what I mean when you see it. I think you should because it is pretty enjoyable. Thumbs-up for one of my more liked theme park attraction action sequences.
