In Peter Jackson's version of King Kong, both 1930s New York and Skull Island are recreated in striking realism by the effects of CGI and elaborate sets. Its main CGI wonder was King Kong himself. The actor Andy Serkis pioneered the motion capture techniques that brought the character to life. King Kong grossed over $550 million at the box office and bagged three Academy Awards. This film proved that Jackson could tackle the mix of spectacle and storytelling, making it one of the most iconic creature features of modern times.
