The Asylum is still going at it, no matter what we say to try and stop them.
Their Godzilla vs. Kong rip-off got a Sequel? Well, the first one is not on Tubi, so hopefully I don't get lost with...
The Film wastes no time in revealing the titular Mecha Ape in its Cold Open.Why it was covered in fur to be shot off for the reveal (in the actual Story) is anyone's guess.
It smashes some folks with zero context.
In Ape vs. Monster, a Chimp was mutated by Space Radiation and Alien DNA to grow huge.

Thankfully, that happened in time to fight Not Godzilla (who was a Space Alien...so Not Space Godzilla) in that one.
A few years later and now he's a Gorilla.

Sure- that happens.
Some vague foreign people want revenge on America for their dead son (so we're ripping off Godzilla: King of the Monsters now?).

Their plan involves stealing an old Nuke that is about to be decommissioned.
They take control of Mecha Ape via Computers (do you really care how it happens) and steal the nuke!

Will Tom Arnold shooting all of his Scenes in this one Office (presumably in the same day) help at all?!?
It all comes down to this- the giant Chimp-rilla vs. the Mecha Ape.

Chicago is in danger!
Will Berwyn be spared?!?

It is very forgettable. I legit just watched it, but I'm struggling to tell you the Characters' names. I remember Tom Arnold never leaving his Office Set (shades of Alan Hale Jr in The Giant Spider Invasion). I remember the lady who talks like Natasha from Rocky & Bullwinkle.

I also remember the CGI. It's a real mixed bag, let me tell you. Specifically, it is a bag with one actual nut in it and a bunch of rusty screws.
The CGI for the Mecha Ape is actually good. It's not great, but it is good. The CGI for the Gori-mpanzee was not. It was terrible. I mean...you have eyes, right? Look back at that thing.
The Plot is both busy and shallow. There are so many moving parts, but they also don't do that much. It is a weird critique, I know. Can I just stick with King Kong Escapes instead?
The Film can be fun in bursts, but the actual battle between the titular Creatures is- unlike Godzilla vs. Kong- way too short and unmemorable. Stay out of Downers Grove too, you big metal jerk!
