It may be a while before another film achieves this level of drama, all while being a heavily effect driven experience.Īpparently this movie requires an active viewer. It is possible that this movie is 5 years ahead of its time. The effects are astonishing - and immediately allow the viewer to slip into the world in a believable way. Yes this movie has death, suffering and plight - and it also has heroism, empathy and displays the strength of unity. Normally I am very critical of this type of film, but not this time! Everything serves the characters and story - and in doing so becomes a project that far exceeds the sum of its parts. There is a lot of heavy, dramatic sequences - and I would say this movie compromises entertainment for meaningful content. This fight begins as open warfare but moves to very close quarter survival between captors and prisoners. In a nutshell, War for the Planet of the Apes is a struggle for survival between Caesar's group of sentient apes (gorillas, orangutans), and a derelict group of soldiers led by a broken/crazed leader. War for the Planet of the Apes isn't a good movie - it's a Great movie!!! I thought part one was above average, part two was surprisingly good - but this movie? Its a borderline classic! I can continue to admonish those without taste, but what good is that?
An inability to invest in a well made film that has something to say no less.Įveryone has the right to an opinion - but when a person abandons merit before their eyes, and quality film making is overlooked by choice? That is simply, unfortunate. Why? Because giving this film 1/10 says, "I am ignorant of quality film making." Descriptions like slow and boring just don't cut it! Opinions like this are an act of ultimate laziness - the inability to mentally invest in the passive experience of a film.
Seriously needs to reevaluate the criteria by which they review films. Reviewed by urthpainter 9 /10 everyone who gave this film a 1* rating? I would suggest that you ignore the ranting 1 star reviews and take them for what's they are - a few individuals with multiple accounts and strange views on the world. It draws you in like none of the other ape movies - it's pacing is superb, the visual effect stunning. And the truth as far as this film is concerned is that it is a cracker. However, if you read past all the silly 1 star ratings you often get to the truth. Makes you wonder what kind of a strange person would do that. More often it is about a personal issue that the reviewer has - and so he vents his anger in the only way that's he knows how - a screaming one star rating and a list of reasons why the film is the worst he has ever seen. Very rarely is it actually about the quality of the film. Read enough of them and you see that quite often there is an underlying reason why the reviews are marking a film so low. Similar text, similar structuring and similar indignant shouting. Sometimes, when I read reviews about movies on IMDb, I see patterns in the writing.
