Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

[DMHead777]

Hoping it's as good as the first one. I had my doubts going in, but I ended up loving the first installment.

[Macready]

Me as well. The first was a very entertaining, well made flick.

Looking forward to this

I don't get these films, because I assumed the original happened after millions of years from the present.. that gave apes enough time to evolve while the remaining humans reverted back to tribalism. Now it's saying the apes were created in a lab and then went to war with humanity or something.. when instead the whole theme of the original is that humankind destroyed itself.

Not everything must follow the original so closely.

[FrighT MasteR]

Just go with it

[BigFatOgre]

Definitely want to see this one.

I actually really ended up liking the first. I'm excited for the 2nd.

Now THAT is a fucking trailer

[strtfghtr]

I'm a big fan of Rise, didn't expect much but ended up loving it. I'll certainly give this one a shot.

Looks sweet

I havn't seen Rise of the Planet of the Apes yet, but I've always been interested. Now I have to see it cause holy shit, does this film look fucking awesome.

[IrishG3nt]

am I the only one who thought this was

"Dawn of The Apes" aka Zombie apes running around eating people

seriously for 2 seconds thought that....that shit would be pretty awesome though!

[DMHead777]

I have watched/shared this trailer way too many times.

[Chief Falling Rock]

first was good, way better than original (yeah I said it!) even though I'm not a CG fan they did the apes pretty well. I'll see this definitely.

[Macready]

Ape army on horseback....

[DMHead777]

God, this is going to be so good

[WickedNik]

Ape army on horseback....

Hell yeah! That would be some scary shit. I'm excited for this.

I won't gloss over the concerns as some may. I have the same issue with it, but at the same time I'm not averse to remakes of the original series, or any series for that matter. I suppose that maybe these are retellings and not remakes per say

Of course liberties are often taken in the shaping of the remake - I get that. Sometimes I think it's necessary due to a particular variable of the story being so outdated that other parts of the story simply or easily cannot get past that, and/or still make the story coherant or relevant... I don't feel that Rise or Dawn fits into that mold.

Let em make whatever they want to make, but when it's completely unnecessary to change original key, defining, core elements in the getting to Point B from Point A - then they shouldn't bogart the POTA brand. Name it something else.

Thought Rise was alright, and what i'm seeing Dawn is looking sweet.
