That being said, the anticipation for the sequel has been nearly two years in the making, and putting the ridiculously long title aside (because there is only so many times we can say “of the, of the.”) here is the first trailer for the action packed movie Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
The film is set sometime after the first. A race of genetically engineered apes has wiped nearly all of civilization off the face of the Earth. A small group of survivors is left and to wage a war against the apes after a devastating virus has wiped away many. A fragile peace is broken and a war is looming. The question is (though we already know the answer,) who will crumble and who will rise.
Although we know where we are going, this is a heart racing action packed slice of the history that we haven’t scene. The human apocalypse if you will looks a bleak and dreary as ever, this time caused by our distant cousins. It looks epically and visually stunning with Andy Serkis as Ceaser being out new great anti-hero. The battles are going to immense and a new band of faces joins the telling of Planet of the Apes. The expanding cast includes Gary Oldman, Toby Kobell (because people are finally realising what an outstanding actor he is,) and the pack is lead by Jason Clarke (of Zero Dark Thirty.)
This instalment is truly going to define the rest. If it is anything like the first, it will be an incredible absorbing action movie. If it is anything else, it will tarnish an impressive franchise.
What do you think of the trailer?
