Je zou het soms bijna vergeten, maar deze filmzomer heeft meer te bieden dan superheldenfilms. Zo verschijnt over een maandje het derde deel in de Planet of the Apes-rebootreeks: War for the Planet of the Apes. Ondertussen zijn er eerste screenings geweest en online verschijnen zeer hoopvolle reacties.
In het vervolg op Dawn of the Planet of the Apes krijgen we te zien hoe de apen steeds meer de macht in handen krijgen. We komen ze recht tegenover de mensheid te staan; het wordt Caesar (Andy Serkis) versus Colonel (Woody Harrelson).
De film van Matt Reeves (The Batman) schijnt 140 minuten te gaan duren en draait vanaf 13 juli in de Nederlandse (3D) bioscoopzalen. De reacties:

The most amazing thing about War/Apes is how enamored Reeves is with faces. So much of the film is in close-up. You fall into the eyes.

You'd expect a movie like this to stay wide. Particularly shooting w/ Alexa 65. But that density of image is why Reeves loved the close-ups.

Second half is "Escape From Alcatraz" + "The Great Escape" w/ Andy Serkis' Caesar playing a fusion of Steve McQueen & Richard Attenborough.

"War" is a world-class filmmaking top to bottom. Equal to "Rise" and -- it has to be said -- better than "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes."

#WarOfThePlanetOfTheApes is the bleakest summer blockbuster I can recall. Suicide, torture, whipping, crying monkeys. It's unrelenting.

#WarOfThePlanetOfTheApes: the special effects are so seamless it's downright eerie. Makes case for future without proper actors.
