Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Final Trailer Review

Last week, the final trailer for the movie Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was released on the internet. So, I'm going to present my thoughts on it.

First of all, if you want to see the trailer before I start talking about it, then... well here it is.


So, I thought that this trailer was very good, and it got me hyped up for the movie's release on July 11th. 

For those who haven't heard of this movie, it is the sequel to the 2011 surprise hit Rise of the Planet of the Apes. As the trailer implies, it focuses on the conflicts between man and apes, after man is nearly wiped out by the Simian Flu. Ceaser and the rest of the apes are trying to live in peace, but a large group of humans led by Gary Oldman feel so threatened by them, that they launch attacks on them. Of course, a war breaks out, and therefore we have this movie.

I really liked the feel of this trailer. The ape's special effects are as good as they were in the previous movie, and the filmmakers did a great job of presenting a post-apocalyptic San Francisco. There is a feeling of tension throughout the trailer. The trailer made me believe that the humans were the bad guys in this movie, and made me want to root for the apes. I have to give the movie credit for that, because it's not easy for a movie to make you want the human race to lose.

Overall, this trailer made me really want to see the movie and see what happens. Actually, being familiar with the original movie, I think I already know what happens. The apes become fully superior to man. However, I am interested in learning how they get to that point. Rise of the Planet of the Apes went against my plot expectations from the commercials, so this may be more complex than "apes won the war." This trailer also opens up more questions. After the war, what happens to the man who Caesar appears to have befriended? One of the apes tells Ceasar that he sympathizes with humans too much. Does he end up showing them mercy? Will the other apes be angry at him for that? I can't wait to see what happens.

So, in conclusion, this trailer was very good. It made me eager to watch it, and I hope that it's as good as the first one.

I would also like to point out that this is my first blog. I am thinking of making blogs for as long as I can. So if you want to see more you can follow Jay the Movie Guy.
