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

It was a window wasn't it?

ohhhh of course. i am dumb.

Watched this the other day. It was cheesy as hell and the CG was really bad but I enjoyed the second half and all the APE REVENGE.

the CGI was about as good as it gets nowadays WTH

I guess, it still looked really fake.

i thought the orangutan looked incredible

well, yeah.

when caesar befriended buck the gorilla (arguably the most sympathetic character in the movie) and it was revealed that he just wanted to play, my girlfriend leaned over and whispered "MY NAME'S BUCK, AND I LIKE TO PLAY".

the cg seemed a little unconvincing in the opening scene, but after that i was on board. cosign on the orangutan.

and not like it matters at all in this movie, but what were they even trying to say happened with the initial test chimp & her baby (caesar)? franco & his assistant were acting like they had no idea that she was pregnant or had a baby.

Yeah that was kinda WTF... they run dozens of blood serum tests weekly on their animals and signs of pregnancy doesn't show up on the lab panels?

the only cgi that really irked me in this was when they did those telltale sweeping impossible epic camera moves that f/x movies can't seem to resist.

otherwise the movie's well-made enough to where the effects aren't distracting even when they're not 100%. they're actually used in service of telling a story.

i watched this movie last night and realized at the end that i had no idea what anyone's name was outside of Caesar and Steve Franklin

kinda loved this

everything on the bridge is so great

yeah. the CGI was fantastic throughout.

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
