Pictures, Legendary Pictures and Tencent Pictures.A compelling, original adventure from director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer), the film tells the story of a diverse team of scientists, soldiers and adventurers uniting to explore a mythical, uncharted island in the Pacific, as dangerous as it is beautiful. Cut off from everything they know, the team ventures into the domain of the mighty Kong, igniting the ultimate battle between man and nature. As their mission of discovery becomes one of survival, they must fight to escape a primal Eden in which humanity does not belong.Special Features:Creating A King: Realizing an IconCreating A King: Summoning a GodOn Location: VietnamTom Hiddleston: The Intrepid Traveller Through the Lens: Brie Larson's PhotographyMonarch Files 2.0 (Companion Archive), Director Commentary, Deleted Scenes Review: Awesome Refresh for Kong - Although I think Peter Jackson's version of Kong a few years back had a lot going for it, especially in terms of scale and some of the cinematics on the island (including the dinosaurs giving Jurassic Park a run for its money), this new version is so much tighter and looks absolutely incredible on the big screen. The island is breath-taking and all of the wide screen landscapes really do look magnificent, as do all the special effects which are top notch - especially a lot of the various giant nasties Kong is up against which are also a marked improvement. Kong also looks much better I think - cinema has come a long way, but also he just seems much more realistic and has lost some of the goofy big friendly monkey aspects of his persona in the previous version, thankfully, along with the childish humour. He's a much grittier and much more impressive version. The action is great and the pacing is very good - the film never drags and each of the main human survivors trying to survive the island have just enough going for them as characters to keep your interest beyond the amazing landscapes and the spectacle of the huge creatures attacking them (and each other!). John Goodman who is partly responsible for kicking everything off is super, Brie Larson is also is very good, if underused, as an anti-war photographer who heads out with the exploration team and their army escort to document the island, Tom Hiddleston is OK as a mercenary tracker leading the good guys, though sometimes a little light and airy for such a role and Samuel Jackson is mostly OK as the colonel who heads up the army escort, but does start to feel a bit text-book colonel-turned-crazy in his performance as he becomes obsessed with destroying Kong. And John C Rielly who is found on the island having survived there for decades after crashing there during the war is superb - his character brings some great humour to the film and he carries it off effortlessly. Matching the film's setting of the early 70's is an awesome soundtrack throughout which is used really well and compliments the film nicely. Hopefully they stick with this version of Kong and revisit for a few more adventures! Review: Bigger Better Brillian King Kong. - This is absolutely brilliant.If you have any affection for any Kong film going back to the 1933 film you will probably love this as much as I did.Kong is bigger and better than ever as CGI has come on so much in the last few years.The movie is set in 1973 for plot purposes I suppose but in truth the plot and indeed the cast are a bit superfluous as this is all about the creatures.Kong is joined some nasty varmints.The worst of which are The Skullcrawlers which are some kind of crawling T-Rex.Anyway s scientific expedition go to the island to see if the creatures exist as the island is surrounded by constant storms so we are not sure.Of course once they get there man does what man does best.Buggers everything upwith the help of the military escort.As I said cast not important.I will say Tom Hiddleston is a little too effete as the ex SAS guide and Samuel L Jackson is pretty much himself as the over the top colonel in charge of the armed escort.Brie Larson is wasted in the token female role originally played by Fay Wray in the 1933 movie.This is about the fights and explosions and about Kong.You will believe he is reall.Kids will be amazed but beware that it is a little violent and there is some ripe language with one use of the F word.This is uttered by John C Rielley who comes out best in the cast as a soldier that's been trapped on the Island for 24 years and is a bit mad.There are some good extras for us geeks which include technical details of hoe the big guy was created and some deleted scenes.The picture quality is also crystal clear. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XHN7LHB | | Actors | Brie Larson, Jason Mitchell, John Goodman, Samuel L.

From the studio that brought you the latest American attempt at Godzilla, from a few years back. This is set in the 1970's. Although King Kong is named in the title, it's not primarily a King Kong movie. It just happen to be a film in which he features. This tells the story of a human expedition to a mysterious and uncharted Island in the pacific. Some of the humans on this expedition are officials [John Goodman]. There's an SAS man [Tim Hiddleston]. A photographer [Brie Larson]. And a US military Colonel fresh from Vietnam [Samuel L Jackson]. All the visitors have various things they are looking for. But when they enter Kong's territory, their battle just begins.... There's not a lot to any of the human characters here. And there's really not much for Tom Hiddleston to work with. But all are pretty good, thanks to charismatic actors and solid acting. In particular from John C. Reilly, as a US pilot who has been stuck there for years. As the visitors explore the island they learn more about it, and encounter more monsters in the process. This is a solidly enjoyable romp. It does manage to do what Godzilla didn't in that respect, because there is a good balance between character moments and action set pieces. There's some excellent location work and set design, memorable monsters. And one of Samuel L Jackson's best performances of late, as he gives his character a decent amount of depth. A good piece of escapist entertainment. And there should be more to come. Stay to the very end of the end credits for a few hints about that. A four star movie. But a very good watch. The dvd has the following language and subtitle options: Languages: English. Castilian Spanish. Subtitles: English, Castilian Spanish, Danish. Finnish. Greek. Norwegian. Swedish. It's also English Audio captioned. The disc goes straight to the main menu when loaded, with no ads or trailers. Extras are: Tom Hiddleston: The Intrepid Traveller. A six minute long video diary of his time on location. A short but affable watch. Deleted scenes: four of these. They can only be watched all in a row. They run in total for three minutes. There's also the usual flyer with code to use to download a copy of the film to a digital device. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/47901855-kong-skull-island-blu-ray-2017](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/47901855-kong-skull-island-blu-ray-2017) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
