This is my blogs first review of a full movie. It seems fitting that it would be for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, since the first post on this blog was a review of its trailer.
I went into this movie with high expectations. I enjoyed Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and looked forward to the sequel when it was announced. The trailers looked intense and intriguing, and the reviews were great. I have decided that it was one of my most anticipated movies of this summer. And I think that my expectations were met.
The movie takes place many years after the events of the first movie. In it, humans and apes live separately, and are attempting to live in peace. However, friction between the two species is increasing, and war is drawing nearer. However, the humans are not as hostile as the trailers suggest that they are, and both sides could be sympathized with.
This film had amazing special effects, and an interesting story. The acting was very good. Andy Serkis, in a motion capture suit, delivers a great performance as Caesar the ape. Gary Oldman is very convincing as a leader trying to sustain the human race. Overall, this is a film that I would recommend to fans of the Planet of the Apes franchise.
