Matt Reeves’es vision of science
fiction is different to many. His movies take emotions in to count than the
pure side of the movies scientific nature. This is well proven with his earlier
movies like Cloverfield (2008) and Let Me In (2010). And now he teams up with
the writers of Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and brings this much
improved and very successful sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and it is
magnificent. Right from the very beginning to the last scene this movie will
take you through an emotional journey of man and ape alike and puts you in a
tight spot as a human to determine the fate of things to come and decide write
and wrong.
Ten years after the pandemic
decease humans are at the brink of extinction. The apes who have survived lives
in the woods formed up massive crowds and a form of civilized living. But when
the humans bring war to the Apes door step and Apes leadership is questioned,
the battle rages.
The very first thing that will
blow the minds of the viewer is how insanely good looking this movie is. Thanks
to the astounding works of the computer graphics and set creation the green
rainy forest and the abandoned dying city both look absolutely realistic. And
when the thought provoking plot is mixed up with ultra-realistic expressions of
the apes this movie can sink right down in to you. And speaking of the plot it’s
carefully written to give the viewer a very good perception of things occurring
and the flow is very good.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes as
a story is completely far-fetched and it is amazing how it works this well. But
if you’re expecting more and more battles of large scale and less talk (or sigh
language) then it might disappoint you a bit. But never forget that battles are
never justifiable without the correct amount of emotions. And here the wait for
the final battle is worth every bit of drama and once you realize that the
world will never be the same again for Apes and Humans both there is slight
hope left for both. And amazingly you might wish that apes will find their
peace once again. Make your own judgment of who’s to be blamed, us or our
ancestors.
