a thread for RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES w/cgi apes, yalies

literal lol

rising apes

honestly they should just call it Ape Escape

ape fear

still hype for this tho

Yeah me too.

progressive shd call their tea party the Rising Apes

Early critical murmurings are that this is solid.

Somewhere between 2 and 4 on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Stool_Scale then

i think this looks sick as hell

Yeah, this is actually the most entertaining trash I've seen all summer. And the apes aren't 5 ounces at all.

If smart is sexy, Caesar is the sex symbol of the year.

OK, enough pull quotes.

Jeff Wells loves it, so ...?

I mean, it really is complete garbage. But it's fun. Cross-reference Kael's review of Earthquake.

Or her review of anything.

I like the poster w/ the Golden Gate Bridge in flames (shades of the abandoned ending of The Birds), but the apes with their fists raised in the foreground look like they're at Coachella.

lol

well, "fun garbage" means I will be spending my first free afternoon with The Mysteries of Lisbon.

That trailer Gukbe posted is so awesome, I was just laughing in delight the whole way through.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Turn Off the Dark

Be down with a musical. Can't Stop the Apes

Caesar, I Hardly Knew Her!

Uh, The Simpsons kinda covered that already

True, true...

I will be spending my first free afternoon with The Mysteries of Lisbon

You are exactly why people root for the apes.

are you calling me... Don Murray?

I long for the days when sci-fi fantasies were written by adults like Michael Wilson and Rod Serling.

(also I thought ppl rooted for the apes bcz they are familiar with humanity)

stupid draco malfoy, you doomed us all.

This looks good.

This Ape's For You

You know, when the apocalypse comes I wouldn't be surprised if Draco Malfoy and James Franco were responsible. At least the movie has got that much right.

That pic reminds me of both Tron and Return To Oz...

Is that Matt Damon?

PETA are annoying imo

“Apes are the heroes of this film, and humans are the villains—and Rupert said he couldn't imagine a worse way of undercutting that message than by using real apes in the movie's production.”

peta do their cause a real disservice IMO

see this would be a great movie if instead of cgi they inserted random footage of chimps wearing dresses and jumping about on tea party tables.

cgi in this movie is terrible, check out this still from the chase scene

this is how to make great goofy films imo

really surprised at how much i enjoyed this, glad i hadn't looked at this thread before seeing it

saw this on a plane a while back and then on HBO tonight. the CGI and some of the face acting bugs me on occasion but who gives a shit forever, the apes fucking rise, movie delivers the damn goods, would rise again

otm

Apes better dawn in this movie or me and aero are gonna have words.

LOL that sentient smart killer apes would don warpaint, as if being sentient smart killer apes wouldn't be enough to strike fear into the hearts of people.

maybe they just think it looks cool?

don't apes have to dawn before they rise?

Can't have dawn w/o a sunrise so I think the order checks out

Let Me In was ok so hopefully Reeves doesn't fuck it up, because Rise was unexpectedly awesome.

This thread always has me scratching my head over what 'yalies' means.

james franco attended yale university

Patrick Doyle soundtrack for Rise of... continues to delight me. Giacchino is doing Dawn of... and I kinda hope he goes for some of his primitivist chamber ensemble tricks a la the shit he did for Lost.

finally saw this after hearing so many good things about Dawn -- honestly I think I had avoided this when it first came out bc I still had bad feelings over being Burtoned

cool as shit -- that gorilla dude jumping off the bridge into the helicopter and going full Terminator OMG yes

so now I'm psyched for the sequel

didn't want to clog up the other thread with my bullshit so that's why I put this here :)

totally cool as shit. I hope I get to see Dawn in the theater but there's every chance ($, time, wife's tinnitus) I will have to wait for streaminz.

Have been listening to tons of ape OSTs the last few days (Doyle, Elfman, Giacchino, Goldsmith and Rosenman the elephants in the room, saving em for when I'm in a better mood).

just saw this too cause the sequel reminded me that i wanted to see it

good! except for the last act being the jump into total ridiculous rushed fan service garbage and the ending too (i was hoping to see franco's face get ripped off way to half-ass it) i am cool with movies that blame our impending apocalypse on big pharma and james franco

tom felton's american accent was horrible and his "paws" line was so forced and shitty

have no desire to see dawn of the rise of the eve of the conquest of the planet of the apes

also loved the reveal that caesar is a big daniel bryan fan
