I decided to rewatch this since Dawn of the Planet of the Apes will be released this thursday and I've been seeing a lot of great reviews all around.
I went to see Rise of the Planet of the Apes at theater at the time of its release and I remember that overall I was not very impressed. After this second viewing I continue to think that it is an average entertaining flick. No doubt it has a decent story, it's thought provoking and it has a great emotional side, though, it does not show nothing new. Despite the amount of fun it is predictable.
I remember being amazed by the CGI quality and the motion capture performance by Andy Serkis that is definitely great but know, and maybe because the first time I saw it at the big screen, some scenes look so strange and when there's more action and movement the apes look very unreal.
I hope to enjoy Dawn of the Planet of the Apes more than its predecessor. Some say that it is the best blockbuster of the summer so far, but I really have no expectations whatsoever.
