Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes: The Third ( And Hopefully
Final) Instalment Of The Planet Of The Apes Trilogy.
The planet of the apes franchise has released it latest
offering the Dawn of The Planet of The Apes. The film premiered on Thursday 10th
July and so far it promises to be a resounding success having generated sales
in the region of $ 4.1 million that’s according to the Internet Movie Database,
IMDb. The movie opened in 2750 theatres in
North America on Thursday night.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) follows in the tradition
of the other two instalments Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and The
Planet of the Apes ( 2001). For those of you not in the know the series is a
science fiction adventure that follows the antics of Caesar the Ape.
Caesar the Hyper Intelligent Ape
Caesar the ape mutated into a hyper intelligent being after
receiving a shot of Gen Sys vaccine, ALZ-112, designed to cure neurological
disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. At the risk of being a major spoiler,
you really need to watch the two preceding movies.
Caesar undergoes harassment at the hands of the zoo keepers
after being ejected from the house of Dr Will Rodman who raised him, after
noticing his talents.
Caesar leads a revolt
in the zoo releasing all the other primates at the zoo this after, he resorts
to bipedalism and human speech. The plot picks up from the last installment Rise
of the Planet of the Apes (2011) where Caesar the ape has now morphed into a
fully fledged human (read hyper intelligent being) bent on revenging the misdeeds
that were meted out on him, his mum and other apes in captivity by humans.
The Dawn of The Planet of The Apes- 2014 Summer Blockbuster.
The Dawn of The Planet of The Apes is proving to be a real
summer blockbuster going by the rave reviews it is already receiving from social
media barely 24 hours after it premiered on the big screen in the USA. This
movie is big on 3D animation as evidenced by the 350 and 360 large screen
format the picture has been released in.
I have watched the
movie and I must say it is not as good as the first installment Planet of the
Apes though the SFX are mindboggling. I strongly recommend this movie as it
promises to be the biggest release for the summer of 2014.
