Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes - An Excellent Sequel !

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes

 

Ten years since the events of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," Caesar and his fellow apes have  settled on the outskirts of San Francisco as the majority of humans in the country have been wiped out by an unstoppable virus. The apes are living peacefully until a group of humans come upon their home hoping to reactivate a nearby dam to help bring power back to their city. 

This is a compelling sequel that expands the series to greater heights - literally and figuratively. It's an intelligent, action-filled, visually exciting spectacle that will make us wanting for more. 

Andy Serkis gives a remarkable performance as the grown-up Caesar.  He showed varied emotions even as his character is played via motion-capture technology.

There were several  well-staged combat scenes, skillfully presented by Director Matt Reeves. But there's so much more than that. It's touted to be the best film of the summer.

TRANSFORMERS : AGE OF EXTINCTION - Wide-scale Entertainment !

TRANSFORMERS : AGE OF EXTINCTION

After the devastation caused by the events of Transformers:Dark Of The Moon, humanity picks up the pieces. Autobots and Decepticons have all vanished from the face of the Earth. Or so it seems. . . . . 

 

However, a group of powerful, ingenious businessmen and scientists attempt to learn from the past and build their own army of  Transformers.

 

 Michael Bay has given the franchise a good shot in the arm; with its new set of human cast (Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Stanley Tucci), a good story,  and breathtaking action. I went into the theater expecting to see lots of explosions, fast cars, and huge robots. And I wasn't disappointed.  This is wide-scale entertainment at its best !
