DAWN PLANET OF THE APES FULL MOVIE SERIES
It is intended to be the first in a new series of films. The film stars James Franco and tells the story of an ape rebellion on Earth, led by a genetically-altered chimpanzee named Caesar (Andy Serkis). In 2011, 20th Century Fox produced a reboot to the original series, called Rise of the Planet of the Apes, directed by Rupert Wyatt. Directed by Tim Burton, it featured an entirely new interpretation of Boulle's novel and state-of-the-art visual effects and makeup for the apes. In 2001, Planet of the Apes, a remake of the original 1968 film was released. While only lasting one season each, both series spun off a variety of tie-in toys. The animated series Return to the Planet of the Apes, that premiered on September 6, 1975, was independent of the film series. The series takes place approximately 900 years prior to the original Planet of the Apes film featuring a civilization where apes are the dominant life form, but humans still have the ability to speak. The live-action series was called Planet of the Apes, which premiered on September 13, 1974. This was followed by two television series in the 1970s. The first film was co-written by Rod Serling, creator of The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery. They chronicle the fall of humanity and the rise of intelligent apes through the points of view of astronaut George Taylor (Charlton Heston), astronaut John Brent (James Franciscus), the apes Zira (Kim Hunter) and Cornelius (Roddy McDowall), and their ape son Caesar (also played by McDowall). Jacobs, based on Boulle's original novel premise, and released by 20th Century Fox. As spectacle, it’s a groundbreaker.The original series of five films (1968–1973) were produced by Arthur P. As profundity, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes falls short. In case you miss the point that the same split exists in the human community, the script hammers it home repeatedly.
Caesar’s desire for peace puts him in mortal conflict with Koba (the superb Toby Kebbell), an ape who seeks the annihilation of all mankind. Save the biggest cheer for Serkis, whose triumphant performance is the gold standard in mo-cap acting. But how can they counteract a script by Mark Bomback, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver that gets silly, especially when the chimps indulge in halting English: “Ape no kill ape”?Ĭritic no kill plot twists, except to say that the climactic battle is a humdinger. And Jason Clarke does what he can as an architect and widower trying to raise his teen son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) while romancing a medic (Keri Russell) and rebuilding a power plant. That’s the esteemed Gary Oldman as a nutso ex-cop who blames the apes for killing his family. It’s a bummer when the damn dirty humans show up, trying to regain the upper hand. The effect inspires awe, making you wish that Dawn could truly be a planet of just apes. In Dawn, Reeves and cinematographer Michael Seresin bring the 3D technology right out into real space, the forests of Vancouver standing in for Northern Cali. You’ll be astonished at what film can do in the digital era. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war. Just watch alpha ape Caesar, again played by the indisputably great Andy Serkis, lead his band of brothers as they swing from trees, attack a herd of elk and then vanquish a giant bear. A growing nation of genetically evolved apes, led by Caesar, are threatened by a band of human survivors. The apes who fled into the woods outside San Francisco are now in charge. The simian virus that James Franco concocted in the last film has enhanced the ape brain but near-decimated the human population. Taking over the directing reins from Rise‘s Rupert Wyatt, Matt Reeves ( Cloverfield, Let Me In) pinballs us right into the action.
Still, within the fertile area between promise and execution, Dawn is dynamite entertainment, especially in the rousing first hour. Maybe the human actors wouldn’t be so lame, maybe the grunting plot clichés would be banished to the next Michael Bay film. The downside is that the success of Rise built up impossible hopes for Dawn. Hell, they’re running, stomping, gun-toting, horseback-riding, English-speaking wonders. The good news about Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, set a decade after Rise, is that the apes look even better. And then, pow, Rise got our adrenaline pumping with actors playing apes in motion-capture suits, using digital technology to help register ferocity and feeling, even in the subtlest eye blink.
DAWN PLANET OF THE APES FULL MOVIE PLUS
Do you remember how gobsmacked we were in 2011 when Rise of the Planet of the Apes opened and we all thought it would suck and, well, it didn’t? Sequel fatigue from four follow-ups to the stellar 1968 original, plus Tim Burton’s plodding 2001 reboot, had left us with less than zero expectations.
