Yeah, DAWN is a better movie than BATTLE, but still DAWN is thin
story-wise.

Sorry, can't agree that "Battle" is better than "Dawn". Just because
it's not like the old movies doesn't mean it should be written off. I
dig "Battle" and realize it was an impossible situation budget-wise. I
see 3 eras of POTA: the originals, the Burton movie, and the new ones.
I'm very pleased with both "Rise" and "Dawn" and assume "War" will give
us a worthy conclusion before we head into more familiar POTA
territory. CG gives them a unique opportunity to tell stories that just
couldn't be told with makeup (ape-like apes). At this point in time,
Hollywood is ga ga over franchises and POTA will be around for a long
time. The sky is the limit. Sent from Mail for Windows 10

In addition to original costumes, makeup, and sets (as opposed to a
CGI crapfest) BATTLE also offers much more in terms of actual
story/characters than spending 2+ hours watching a film about people
trying to flip on a power switch...

The biggest thing that bothers me about DAWN is they didn't shoot it in
Panavision. DAWN lacks proper "scope." But, because of the damn 3D
gimmick, I guess that'll be the case with the next one too.

If you think about it, Battle and Dawn are very similar in structure.


They both have a simplistic overall arcing story line ( "Flip a switch"
vs. "I wanna see a few minutes of video of Mon and Pop and I'm willing
travel to a radiated city for that"), but the REAL meat of the movie in
both cases are the human vs. ape conflict, and (even better in both
cases) the ape vs. ape conflict.


I think Battle's Caesar/Aldo conflict is better than Dawn's
Caesar/Koba, but Dawn ape/human conflict wins out over Kolp in a
schoolbus.

Dario, you could try e-mailing him.  There's always a chance he might have one or two left.

Yeah I really miss the 2.35:1 aspect ratio.  And yes I do believe this is related to 3-D, which to me is like being kicked when you're down. For me, the sooner this 3-D fad disappears the world will be a better place.  Cheaper ticket prices (you will not believe the price here in the UK) plus not being forced out of the best screens just because you want to see it flat.

I've always been a tactile reader and really prefer the hardcopy version. I even printed out and spiral bound the few early issues I missed out on. I knew there was only going to be a limited print run but I was ready to pounce on any announcement.  Did I miss the announcement?

War is being filmed in 2.35 ratio as far as I was told... John M.

Thank goodness. That 1:33 HD TV ratio was to small for the big in 2D

100% in agreement.  What we are seeing now are screenplays produced by writers who grew up watching television in the 1970s and have limited intellectual scope.  You just can't compare a fanboy like Matt Reeves to a genius like Paul Dehn.  There used to be epic themes and a sense of wonder and now there's Saturday morning serials.  New generation Hollywood tries so very hard but lacks the vision.

We are in the era of imitation. Everything in the current state of
big studio franchises plays like fan fiction.

That said, I've seen both RISE and DAWN around five times each and each
time I see more in them, but also a lot that's not in them that should
be. In a way, the makers of the new APES movies are taking the concept
too seriously and are forgetting that social satire is what made the
old series "fun."

I took some solace in the operatic grandeur of the Caesar vs Koba conflict in DAWN.  Very Shakesperian.

I love that scene is BATTLE.  I love the great Leonard Rosenman's score.  I love the images of the trio walking in silhouette over the dunes.  I even love the very first shot -- another one of those beautifully obvious "Oh it's Roddy's double again" -- that were so prevalent in the TV series.

Unfortunately, the '70s are long over with and never coming back (thank goodness -- the '60s was better).

The more I think about the new movies the less interested I am. Their budgets get bigger and their scope, scale and sense of wonder gets smaller. BENEATH created this huge world for something like a $5m price tag. Now they spend $150 and we get some unimpressive CGI set extension and a movie that looks like TV on the big screen because it's shot onto a sensor and not a 35mm negative, plus they can't shoot anamorphic because it's not good for 3D. Who wants 3D anyway? I don't remember anyone actually asking for it. Sorry, but it really WAS better in the 70s. Mark.

Let's not get into too much fantasy... 70mm is NOT making a comeback. It's just another gimmick now, and it's too expensive to make a comeback. In fact, there never has been a lot of 70mm projection EVER, outside of the original IMAX, and even that has gone digital. Film is now mostly for preservation.


If any of you have Netflix, check out the documentary SIDE BY SIDE. Pretty interesting.

Hey, for this Year of the Monkey, everyone here in the States knows that the original PLANET OF THE APES will be back in theatres this July, right? Actually two days, July 24th and 27th, but the 24th will be a Sunday (the day I first saw PLANET on back in '68), the movie will be shown at 2 and 7 PM, so most everyone here, if you're near a theatre showing it, should have no excuse for not going. I'm going to have to drive thirty-four miles to get to the theatre nearest me -- but I'm going!

Google Fathom Events and TCM to find out more.

Wish we had a similar thing in the UK, although I have seen PLANET three times on the big screen here in London in the last eighteen months, so I can't really complain.

Just curious... Where those digital projection or actual 35mm prints? I would guess it was digital, but that only means that it would have been a good transfer as we see on satellite and cable. What will be shown here in July will be a digital transfer, but it should be the same excellent one they've shown on Turner Classic Movies. On January 17th BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID will be shown. I'm going to try to catch that to preview PLANET in July.
