Over the past few days, my cold has finally subsided and I
have been able to get back into some movies. While I was going to do the last
horror flick I watched, yesterday, I watched something that I could not shake
all day because of its message. A message that many in the world must wake up
and understand as all of humanity is being attacked by a rogue globalist agenda
(Agenda 21). That move was the 2014 Sci-Fi blockbuster Dawn of the Planet of
the Apes.
Plot/ A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by
Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus
unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves
short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will
determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species.
After missing this in the theater, I had to watch it as soon
as I could, and honestly, I am pissed to have missed when it came out. While
there are some predictable moments and some of the pace was uneven, this movie
was one of the better entries in the series I have seen. The cinematography and
effects were amazing, especially the CGI, which was incredibly accurate and created
something special. Everything else works as well, with solid performances,
tremendous scripting, and a perfectly matched score to carry it throughout.
However, what stood out to me was the true look at mankind, and the rise of
hatred toward war. As the world rages around us, one could substitute the apes
for another culture, and this could be a drama worthy of discussion. This could
truly be a science fiction trip into our world of conflict and show humanity
how fragile our societies are. In the end, this was an amazing film and a movie
that must be watched by everyone.
