Exactly!Serkis should get as Oscar..or a Saturn Award at least
me and the wife just came from seeing this......
and you beat me to it. Koba is str8 off bgol
they should've added more to the ending to give us an idea to what the next one will be like
And any cac-lovers too!Koba would be a perfect bgol member
His hate for cacs is next level![]()
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!Good ass movie. Koba bustin on the horse with the fire behind him was the shit.
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.And how the fuck all them apes didnt see Koba buss that cap in Ceasar
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!![]()
Yeah that part too!nah.....the way he setup them two niggaz that offered em liquor...
that shit there had me rollin
And any cac-lovers too!Damn shame what he did to Rocket's son, Ash

True!if anything Rocket shouldve been the one to kill him rather than Caesar
^ 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![]()
if you listened to those grunting noises after the credits,you may get the impression that Koba survived the fall![]()
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.
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.
SO THERE WAS AFTER CREDIT SCENE IN THE MOVIE????
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.
Such as?
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.
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

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.
Want happen to the Black guy after Cesar got shot?
Burger you know the black man didn't "dip" in time, those damn apes filleted his ass like he was a cac!the"You wanna know the scary thing about 'em?" guy? he mustve dipped out before all the fighting started
i see they cut the scene w/ the destroyer that was seen in the trailer out..

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.”
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
My theater was packed.

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
