audience do n’t go see a movie like Rampage for things like “ logical system . ” They go to see prominent monsters destroy things , and Rampage certainly delivers on that hope . However , talk about logic , or lack thereof , in a motion-picture show like violent disorder can often times be just as fun as the mindless spectacle . So allow ’s have some fun .
One such bit of system of logic has to do with the film ’s colossus , mutated alligator . My colleague Beth Elderkinsent me this telecasting by her friend , Antonella Inserra , in which , while drinking much - ask wine , she strain to figure out how such a animate being could have traveled from the Everglades in Florida to Chicago , Illinois , unnoticed .
That ’s the keyword : “ unnoticed . ” If the film had just had one phone line of dialogue where a character mentions some anomaly in the Mississippi River or the Atlantic glide , great . cover . And yes , arguably most of the mass who would track that variety of affair were too busy trying to blow up the giant wolf and Gorilla gorilla coming to Chicago from the West Coast . But once the photographic film gets to Chicago , the gator get and no one have it away it existed . This is reasonably unearthly , consider how little water there is between Florida and Chicago and how the alligator has no trouble destroying things along the way .
As direct out in the telecasting , the alligator could ’ve gone into the Gulf of Mexico , up the Mississippi River , which then associate to Lake Michigan ( the trunk of water supply that borders Chicago ) via another route . There ’s also the possibility it give way up the Atlantic Ocean and either through New York or Canada to get there .
Not mentioned in the video , however , is that this is n’t just a jumbo alligator , it ’s a giant mutate alligator . The thing look less like an gator than it does Godzilla . Maybe it just burrowed underground all the elbow room there ? It was also grow on the means to Chicago , which makes it plausible that for the first hundred miles or so , it was just a somewhat bigger - than - normal- alligator which could travel reasonably undetected . finally , though , it had to grow . And eat . Showing up in Chicago as a total surprise to everyone make no sense whatsoever .
Of course , this is n’t a crucial plot point or anything ; maybe the alligator was infect with some kind of animal cloaking machine . It could have teleport , for all the film maker of Rampage tutelage . They just need it in Chicago with the other animals to destroy diddly-squat , which it does . Besides , the ease of the movie makes it very obvious “ system of logic ” was never a word mentioned in the writing process .
