War For The Planet Of The Apes *****SPOILERS***** Thread

Humanity becomes enslaved by the barbaric apes.

Hopefully this is the last one unless they can keep making interesting stories.


But I just don't see where they can go from here. I guess make one final one just called Planet of the Apes and be done with it.

They can go beneath.
They can escape.
They can conquer.
They can battle.

Got 7:00 tickets as well!

Does anyone else get confused with these damn titles? I always think that Dawn is Rise and viceversa. Really they fricked up the titles since there's a Dawn before the Rise.

Sitting in theater here in Lafayette. I'm pumped while being reserved that they might sacrifice Ceasar for 'greater good.' Also getting mentally prepared that I might be debating OMLandshark on how we interpret what we see..

Well just got out of it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was much different than I was expecting it to be. I was expecting to to be a hardcore war like the poster promised, but it wasn't and that's not a bad thing.

It was a fantastic swan song for Caesar as a character. I know Andy Serkis won't get nominated for Best Actor for this, but the Academy needs to give him a Special Achievement Award this year at the Oscars. It's long overdue.

That said I feel comfortable in saying that Dawn is better than this movie. Woody Harrelson is fine as the villain, but it's hard to top Koba. Dawn is just about perfect of a movie for me, but there's something missing in this, and I can pinpoint to being Koba. It's kind of like The Dark Knight Rises missing the Joker. It's just not quite up there due to that missing (although he does make cameos in visions).

Solid all around, highly recommend, but it's hard to make up for Koba.

It was clear to me the end they were going for: he was Moses of the Apes. And looking back on his complete arc it makes sense. He got to see his promised land and lead his people there, but never be a part of it.

I always saw it as a tad unrealistic for the apes the win an all out war with humanity having them kill each other off and quite literally devolve is a more realistic way of explaining how the Apes took over.

Woody's character was not as good as Koba, but it's a good reflection of just how low humanity has sunk that they're willing to massacre their own to save humanity.

With Cearser's arc over, I wonder if they'll remake the orginals with the humans on the ship returning to see what has happned to Earth. They have certainly been building to that.
