![]() ![]() And I just had to try and digest all that went on in these three movies as best as I could, which led me to writing this. In light of the third film being released this past weekend, I decided to re-watch Rise (2011) and purchase Dawn (2014), and ultimately, ended up watching all three films in three consecutive days. ![]() And a bunch of CGI and explosions, which, hey, is still pretty enjoyable. While I had initially expected just another CGI and action-driven blockbuster full of explosions–essentially, another Transformers franchise–I instead saw depth, symbolism, traditional senses of ethics being put into question, quality acting (for the most part–sorry, Tom Felton), and genuine and believable character development. The film had far exceeded my (admittedly low) expectations. I saw the first film, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, for the first time last summer, and was completely blown away. My most recent movie kick has been the new Planet of the Apes movies (2011-2017), starring Andy Serkis (also of Lord of the Rings franchise fame) and directed by Rupert Wyatt (the first film) and Matt Reeves (the second two). I very much hope to write even more reviews on a variety of different movies as time goes on. So far: I’ve written one for Hacksaw Ridgeand Silence, both starring Andrew Garfield. Most people who know me know that I love movies and that I also love writing reviews for movies. ![]()
