On an expedition into the unknown: Kong: Skull Island” today on Kabel 1!
In summer, most people are out and about, which often makes the TV program a little narrower. But on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, Kabel 1 has something exciting up its sleeve: the action adventure film “Kong: Skull Island” will be shown at 8:15 p.m. The film was released in cinemas in 2017 and takes viewers to a mythical, uncharted island in the Pacific Ocean.
The story follows a team of scientists, soldiers and adventurers who are cut off from everything familiar and find themselves in the realm of the mighty Kong. This expedition, initiated by a monster hunter, quickly turns into a tough fight for survival as the protagonists have to fight the challenges of a seemingly primitive world where humanity does not belong. Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts, supported by producers such as Jon Jashni and Alex Garcia, created a gripping experience that offers numerous adventures in over an hour and 50 minutes. News38 reported on this in detail.
Excitement and reviews
The film scored points with its impressive visual effects and a solid star cast, but not all reviews were positive. Hannah Pilarczyk criticized the film in “Spiegel” as politically depraved and inhumane. In their opinion, there was a lack of a clear narrative, which made the star cast appear more like a distraction from the bankruptcy of ideas. Despite these negative reviews, critics on the film website Rotten Tomatoes mostly agreed, rating the film with 75 percent positive feedback. Rotten Tomatoes offers an interesting perspective on this.
Action and adventure fans can look forward to the film as “Kong: Skull Island” combines elements from various genres, including sci-fi and fantasy. The PG-13 rating indicates intense scenes that promise both exciting and challenging moments. The film also achieved an impressive box office result of 168 million USD in the USA, making a statement in the film world.
A classic in a new look?
If you compare “Kong: Skull Island” with the classic original, it becomes clear that the new film cannot quite hold the same status. Nevertheless, it remains an exciting adventure that features action-packed scenes. It remains to be seen whether the new format, with its modern narrative style, will appeal to audiences.
Overall, Tuesday evening will be an experience for fans of adventure films who can look forward to an exciting jungle journey with Kong. Whether on the screen or at a cozy meeting with friends - it will be interesting to see what discussions the film will trigger!
