Dawn of the planet of the apes review


‎So today I went to see my in-laws in their natural habitat (and I don't mean the cinema). All jokes aside...this film was long; about an hour too long. It didn't take me long to start checking my watch for how long was left. Lets not beat about the bush about this so I'll just say it...I found this film BORING!!! Could be the lack of action but I doubt it as I am not an action fanatic (grew out of it) rather preferring substance over wow factor now. The story in this was just dragging on and on and in places felt like it was going around in circles. I felt like applauding when it was over in relief. On to the plus points, it has to be said that although I dread the use and overuse of CGI this movie didn't take me long to forget that I was watching digital apes as it was so life like and secondly the story. Although grindingly slow in places it was full of twists and quite heart wrenching in places. Might be good for some as a whole but I would rather stick with the original five films.
