Theater Whore: Dawn of The Planet of The Apes



Dawn of The Planet Of The Apes 9/10

For the first time I had the pleasure of seeing a movie with Dashuh while she was visiting. I say pleasure not just because it was awesome to see her, but because she is a good person to see movies with. I have seen some movies with bad people. They can’t stay off their phone. Constantly getting up to use the bathroom (meaning check their phone). Or just can’t get into a movie. None of these things happened with her and that was great. After watching the first Planet Of The Apes we decided to head to Arclight in Hollywood and see the new Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. When I say that this movie was damn near close to perfect I mean it. This is one of those movies that reminds me of why I love the whole movie going experience so much. This takes place in 2016 after a virus caused by the experiments from the first film start to wipe out humanity. If the virus didn’t kill you being a violent ass human being did.


Meanwhile in Muir Woods the apes are living it up. Caesar and his wife and son, Blue Eyes, are running things and getting along just fine. He has a new son and his “people” love and respect him. One day while out Blue Eyes and another ape encounter a human. The human freaks out and shoots the ape. Immediately the apes spring into action. The leader of the humans, Malcolm, and his crew are surrounded by the apes. He tells them to lower their guns and Caesar shouts “Go!!!” which freaks the humans right the fuck out. The head back home after failing their mission to try and get the power station up and running because back in San Francisco, which between this film and Godzilla is the place to wreck now, food is running low and they need power to get back on their feet.
