I think I was the only one laughing at that part! Koba was getting his Master Chief on dual-wielding assault rifles while horseback riding through the flames!:lol:

I thought that too. When Koba took aim I thought he was just doing it on some "fuck it time for you to die" shit. Didn't think he was staging a setup until it was shown his son didn't see him.
 
To Koba's credit, he had every right to hate the CAC's.
They fucked him up all his life so he really didn't know any better.
He basically called Ceasar an uncle Tom.

For some reason that final fight scene reminded me of Bishop vs. Q fighting for the "Juice".
It was the exact same scenario. :lol:

I can't wait to see how Blue Eyes steps up as his father's successor...whenever that happens.
This is gonna get interesting.

nah.....the way he setup them two niggaz that offered em liquor...
that shit there had me rollin
 
I liked the movie & give it 8 / 10 stars

Movie had more Plot holes every three minutes

Like when the power dam was turned on,, There was lights in the city
BUT when the city was using Diesel for power for years,, There was no lights from the city?

Humans and Apes are a half day walk from each other & noone knew the other was there ?

Things fell apart only 10 years ago * WoW did things fall apart ! !
I did not know trees and such grew so fast,, Even the interstate highways was covered with forest
etc
etc
 
I like the movie saw it last night on a shitty army 3D screen that wasn't 3D. MAN GREAT!!!!!!! CGI, it was times i thought they where is monkey suits it looked so clear and good, the furr moved it was wet and had bugs on it.. I cant wait for Video Games to reach this LVL
 
if anything Rocket shouldve been the one to kill him rather than Caesar
True!:lol:

I know Rocket's story is very small compared to Koba's, but Rocket actually had more evolution than Koba. Rocket (for those who don't remember) was the one whooping Caesar's ass in the Primate shelter in "Rise". He was nothing but a bully that loved to show his strength and ridicule other monkeys. Caesar used his intelligence to knock Rocket off his alpha perch. He then followed Caesar. After gaining intelligence Rocket became one of his top lieutenants.

As far as Koba...he was a human hating mofo before gaining intelligence and became a bigger, smarter human hating mofo after gaining intelligence!:lol:
 
^ they couldve did a variation on the scene in most action movies where you think the villain is dead but when you see him get ready to shoot the hero in the back he gets shot off camera..then pans over to Rocket holding a pistol like :mad: :lol:

if you listened to those grunting noises after the credits,you may get the impression that Koba survived the fall :lol:
 
For everyone who saw it, what was the crowd size at the theaters? I saw the 9:15 showing last night, and it was pretty empty. Besides me, my girl, and my friend and his girl it was about 15-18 people in the whole theater.

This is one of the films that everyone always complains that Hollywood doesn't make, but when they got a chance to see it are they turning out for it?

Yeah my friend asked me "Is Koba still alive"? I took it more as just ape sounds in general and not Koba specifically.

My theater was packed.

You guys are over rating this movie like hell. The only thing spectacular about this movie was the visuals. The story drags at many points, its predictable, and had major shit that didn't make sense at all.
 
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:


SO THERE WAS AFTER CREDIT SCENE IN THE MOVIE????
No it wasn't. At the very end of the credits the music fades out. It was just some ape noises along with some heavy breathing and the sounds of some pipes clanging and rubble moving. Since it sounded like that some was thinking it was Koba under some rubble. It was audio only, no scene. Guess anyone can take it or leave it how they want to.
 
Great Movie.

Told Wifey Koba is coming back.

What happen to the Black guy after Cesar got shot?

The super highly intelligent monkeys were next door neighbors with the humans but had no clue that they were around. Monkeys attacking the humans directly sacrificing themselves instead of attacking them stealthly by climbing over objects. Kobba never getting shot while riding the horse but having pin point accuarcy while dual wielding a rifle and machine gun. Rifles never needed to be reloaded.

Koba was totally justified "Human work" said it all. Ceasar was raised by one he didn't see it

I heard "Know the Ledge" when they fought

nah.....the way he setup them two niggaz that offered em liquor...

that shit there had me rollin


My theatre was packed with CACs and a few swirl girls. I bust out laughing and clapped during that scene in a silent theatre

I agree I said this in an earlier post here. The CGI was amazing but the story was predictable ...Rise I liked more

Monkey Gun Magic....:lol:
 
the"You wanna know the scary thing about 'em?" guy? he mustve dipped out before all the fighting started :lol:

i see they cut the scene w/ the destroyer that was seen in the trailer out..
Burger you know the black man didn't "dip" in time, those damn apes filleted his ass like he was a cac!:lol::smh:

Yes I was wondering what ever happened to that scene with the Navy destroyer going under the bridge

Might be a bonus/extended scene on the Blu ray.

:lol::lol:

I was wondering that too. I don't think they could reload. Give a regular person a gun who never fired one before (or seen it on tv or a movie) and they wouldn't be able to reload it. Hell, if the safety is on a regular person with no experience wouldn't know how to take it off. I think the apes had intimidation on their side once they took over, because once they shot up those bullets they would be empty.
 
What y'all thought of planet of the apes with mark walberg at the end when he want to an alternate reality and apes were running shit in modern times?

Ceaser was Koba lol

Guess now they flipped it
 
Even though I really didn't care for Reeve's "Cloverfield", he made the right call for this. It would have sucked bad being based on the humans mainly

‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ Director Reveals that Original Version Focused on Humans
In recent years we’ve seen a lot of movies and TV shows set in post-apocalyptic futures (hopefully it’s not prophetic), but upcoming sci-fi sequel/prequel Dawn of the Planet of the Apes promises to show the beginning of a new civilization as well as the end of an old one. Set a decade after the end of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the new chapter in the franchise sees Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his fellow apes living out a peaceful life in the forest, which is disturbed when they come into contact with members of a nearby human settlement.

One of the reasons that Rise of the Planet of the Apes worked so well is that a significant portion of the movie is spent inside an ape sanctuary, where the drama of Caesar’s rise to leadership among the apes is conveyed entirely through body language and the occasional bit of sign language between Caesar and ex-circus orangutan Maurice (Karin Konoval). During the second half of the movie, the human characters were very much moved to the periphery of the narrative.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes has already impressed a lot of critics with its tale of two tribes, but director Matt Reeves revealed in an interview with Screen Rant that Twentieth Century Fox’s original plan was for the movie to be more focused on the human characters, rather than being centered on Caesar and continuing his story.

“When I came in to meet with the studio, when they approached me about doing the film, they pitched me the story that they had… and it didn’t center on Caesar. It started in the post-apocalyptic city… and there was this story in the city and the apes were actually very articulate, they already could speak very, very easily. I was like, ‘Oh… Well I don’t think this is the movie for me… This is just not what I would do.’

“And so they said, ‘What would you do?’ And I said, ‘I think you need to keep on with what you did. You created, in Rise, a hero in Caesar, and if I were going to do this movie I’d want it to be Caesar’s movie through and through. I think the secret of Rise is that it ends up being an ape’s point-of-view movie. I think now that you’ve done that, you’ve earned it, this movie should declare itself right from the beginning as being his movie. It should start and end on him.”


To Reeves’ surprise, the studio immediately acquiesced to his ideas with a simple, “Sounds great,” and offered him the directing job. With that, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes became the continued story of Caesar, and Reeves made the decision to exclude humans from the first twenty minutes or so of the movie, so as to give the audience time to adjust to the the apes’ perspective. It actually makes a lot of sense in context: the franchise is all about the process of apes taking over the planet, so it only feels natural that they would take over the movie’s narrative as well.

Another reason that Reeves felt it was important to focus on Caesar and his tribe – at least during the beginning of the movie – was that post-apocalyptic movies have been done a million times before and audiences have already seen the story of the last few surviving humans on Earth done in just about every way possible. Instead, Reeves designed to story to be a modern Western that was partially influenced by films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Apocalypse Now.

Ultimately, however, Reeves says Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is about both humans and apes, and doesn’t hold either group up as the good guys or the bad guys: “The whole conceit is that it’s about animals that have taken over the planet, but… the secret is that we are the animals that have taken over the planet, and so it’s really about us. You look into the face of apes in order to look at ourselves.”
 
Movie was dope as hell. Watching the movie i couldn't help to draw parallels between today's race relations and forgiveness. Koba was straight up on some Spartacus "Kill em all" / "American Me" shit lol.
Strangest thing, all the black people came madd early to the Movie Tavern and the white families came late as hell and had to sit in the front row "neck breaker" seats. Usually we are the ones who come mad late. ijs!!!
 
What subliminal racist shit was in the movie ? Cac were probably sneaked something in like most planet of the apes movies
 
I liked the movie & give it 8 / 10 stars

You only got one plot hole correct. The rest makes complete sense.



Like when the power dam was turned on,, There was lights in the city
BUT when the city was using Diesel for power for years,, There was no lights from the city?

They didn't power the whole city with diesel fuel only the compound (building they resided in). Remember civilization had fallen apart. Humans killed each other it wouldn't be safe to stay by yourself. Also the tower was the only place with power.


Humans and Apes are a half day walk from each other & noone knew the other was there ?

I'll give you that one. The fact that Apes or humans didn't travel around further didn't make much sense. It's human nature to travel about. Maybe no reason for humans to travel into the forest but I'm pretty sure apes just chilling would have wandered into the city.


Things fell apart only 10 years ago * WoW did things fall apart ! !

10 years? Things can fall apart faster than that. Look at countries like Iraq and Syria, shit Berut in the 80's. Cities and civilization can fall apart in months not years.

I did not know trees and such grew so fast,, Even the interstate highways was covered with forest
etc
etc

This right here makes me think you live in a concrete jungle or apartment dweller. TREES GROW and OVERTAKE AREAS quickly. Look at documentaries like "Life after Humans" and you'll see what I'm talking about. My trees in my yard if not cut twice a year bush out crazy. My lawn man hasn't been to my house in 2 weeks after all the rain in Houston and I got grass up to my calves in some spots. :smh:

and i am sure that u thought that transformers 4 was the shit... :hmm:

Some jackass in Hollywood always wants to take a dope ass idea, put its name in the movie title, and then focus on the human narrative. (Transformers, pretty much every remake, every other ape movie franchise...)
