The fifth film in the saga gives preponderance to the ape before the mutant. A strange warning signal emitted from the center of the planet launches a diverse pseudoscientific expedition into the interior.

In Godzilla and Kong: The New Empire, the ape discovers that he is not the last of his kind. The film has few dialogues and a lot of action thanks to a scarce homo sapiens presence. The human role here is relegated to the progressive message about the future of the Earth.
