#TOM FELTON RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES MOVIE#
The original movie opens with Taylor ( Charlton Heston) explaining that his spaceship's mission isn't to explore the galaxy, but to use Einstein's Law of Relativity to leave Earth and return in the distant future where it might not be such a shithole (Taylor was disappointed). Using modern technology's brilliant effects to tell a story, rather than instead of a story.The Planet of the Apes movies have always been interested with time. I wish more films these days would be like Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It's far from perfect, and not exactly aimed at my interests, but I can say this for it. When I first left the cinema my first thought was "Hm, that really didn't need to be a prequel to Planet of the Apes" which upon further thought, was actually a good thing! It had the strength to stand out completely from its own laurels, not just those of the original, so not only was it a great movie, it was a great stand-alone film, completely separate to its predecessor. Still, on humans, it was cool to see Tom Felton (Harry Potter, The Apparition) and Brian Cox (X2, Super Troopers) getting into anything has always got to be a good thing. I'm glad now though, as this was as worthy a reboot as you could ever hope for, which as far as I'm concerned trumped even the original, not to mention how much it absolutely fucking brutalised that crap Burton came up with in 2001.Īndy Serkis (Burke and Hare, Lord of the Rings) returns to motion capture glory as Caesar, super-intelligent chimp-lord, who, to be perfectly honest, was written infinitely better than any of the human characters. Although the trailer did look pretty sweet, I must admit that when I first heard about them yet again delving into the Planet of the Apes franchise, I was incredibly bloody sceptical. People sometimes miss them in action blockbusters.Įxtra half-star for a monkey riding a horse, although that would have worked better in a movie produced by The Asylum.įrom the get go I was pleasantly surprised by Rise of the Planet of the Apes. With a sorry excuse to involve "human reflections" and characters we never care about (beginning with Caroline and Will's father), this unrequired delivery certainly makes up for the level of disappointment that Burton brought a long with a remake, but utilizes the safest Hollywood escape route for cashing easy money:
Rupert Wyatt offers a potential prequel for the events that followed in the previous films however, it is a bad sign to realize that the amount of entertainment this was providing me throughout was pretty much comparable to Michael Bay (actually, he has done better!) and to the bombs of the 90s by Roland Emmerich. It made me miss the old classic days of the 60s and 70s. The overabudant CGI was too tough for me to handle and to buy in the first place. This so-called "thought-provoking" and "emotionally driven" ride has me in loss. "Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!"įew times I have rolled my eyes so hardly in a movie.
