But I thought it was correct in terms of film entertainment to cop out, because I have no right to take an Apes film and really make it such a strong political platform. By changing the ending, I personally feel we were copping out, because it wasn’t the ending we intended.
I had to water down all of the violence, too, and switch it and make it happier. It would have been an R rating, because of the violence in the end. “The ending was watered down a lot,” states Thompson. In the final film, when Caesar proclaims, ‘That day is upon you now!’, it’s suddenly as though a light switch has been thrown and Caesar realizes that it’s all been a mistake that they must shown compassion to the humans. The reality is that the change is very obvious, and fairly ineffective. By recutting the existing footage and dubbing in new dialogue, the producers opted for a more “upbeat” ending. The solution: fix the problem in the editing room. It was just too strong and it detracted from the film.” That would have been the last image of him, screaming, ‘That day is upon you now!’ It was a pretty violent ending. Instead of being a flawed hero, he was a villain and you really didn’t want that. Offers Capra, “To end with the end of the human race was dissatisfying to us. It was a very violent ending and we had to change it around and make it a happy ending.” We were getting complaints at the preview in Phoenix. You know, we had to take it back into the editing room. “In fact, the original film was so strong that it couldn’t be shown. “ Conquest was a really good, strong, political statement,” offers Thompson. The city is in flames, humans are dying by the dozen, gorillas have brought the battered body of Governor Breck (Don Murray) to lay before Caesar, and Man’s fate is not.hopeful.

Using modern technology's brilliant effects to tell a story, rather than instead of a story.In its own way, the conclusion of Conquest was as powerful as anything that the series had offered before. I wish more films these days would be like Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It's far from perfect, and not exactly aimed at my interests, but I can say this for it.
When I first left the cinema my first thought was "Hm, that really didn't need to be a prequel to Planet of the Apes" which upon further thought, was actually a good thing! It had the strength to stand out completely from its own laurels, not just those of the original, so not only was it a great movie, it was a great stand-alone film, completely separate to its predecessor. Still, on humans, it was cool to see Tom Felton (Harry Potter, The Apparition) and Brian Cox (X2, Super Troopers) getting into anything has always got to be a good thing. I'm glad now though, as this was as worthy a reboot as you could ever hope for, which as far as I'm concerned trumped even the original, not to mention how much it absolutely fucking brutalised that crap Burton came up with in 2001.Īndy Serkis (Burke and Hare, Lord of the Rings) returns to motion capture glory as Caesar, super-intelligent chimp-lord, who, to be perfectly honest, was written infinitely better than any of the human characters. Although the trailer did look pretty sweet, I must admit that when I first heard about them yet again delving into the Planet of the Apes franchise, I was incredibly bloody sceptical.

People sometimes miss them in action blockbusters.Įxtra half-star for a monkey riding a horse, although that would have worked better in a movie produced by The Asylum.įrom the get go I was pleasantly surprised by Rise of the Planet of the Apes. With a sorry excuse to involve "human reflections" and characters we never care about (beginning with Caroline and Will's father), this unrequired delivery certainly makes up for the level of disappointment that Burton brought a long with a remake, but utilizes the safest Hollywood escape route for cashing easy money: Rupert Wyatt offers a potential prequel for the events that followed in the previous films however, it is a bad sign to realize that the amount of entertainment this was providing me throughout was pretty much comparable to Michael Bay (actually, he has done better!) and to the bombs of the 90s by Roland Emmerich. It made me miss the old classic days of the 60s and 70s. The overabudant CGI was too tough for me to handle and to buy in the first place. This so-called "thought-provoking" and "emotionally driven" ride has me in loss. "Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!"įew times I have rolled my eyes so hardly in a movie.
