Review of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) by Mike T — 09 Jan 2015
An origins story like no other. It's totally captivating. It has everything, emotional ape scenes which we have never seen in a movie, gorgeous action, brilliant taut imagery, bizarre juxtapositions, moving moments, a great story, and great weather scenes.
Some extremely engaging set pieces and props like the apes home, were extremely cool to look at, and there was some very good use of language (both sign and spoken) that was a very slow burn and required patience for a resounding and emotional payoff at the end.
Great plot twists. Great effects and good acting, some of the best action, and a mesmerizing, sad tone that is very serious and wonderful and fun to watch. This is another ten out of ten because although I have seen quite a few tens, this one is another one.
