Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Yeah, that would give you a better appreciation for this one I feel.Originally Posted by Cloudane
MissH and I went to watch this last night and I thought it was fantastic. It was a little more Intense than the first one (Sophie still prefers Rise) but I felt this was a much better film in every way. The parallel the film shows between the apes and men is perfectly represented. I loved how at the start the Caesar felt that men had destroyed themselves and that apes were stronger because they were all a family. By the end he realises that the apes are no different from the humans themselves. It's a wonderful journey.
There are a couple of heartbreaking scenes which mirrored the men and newly developed apes perfectly. With the way the original 1968 movie starts (and indeed the huge spoilers in the film titles!) you kind of know how the next film is gonna go... but I already can't wait. God damn two-year wait
9.5/10
