My View - War for the Planet of the Apes – 3D (2017)



My View
Movie: War for the Planet of the Apes – 3D (2017)
Genre: Science-fiction / Action emotional drama
Runtime: 140 minutes

In a deadly conflict between humans and apes to determine the fate of their species, Caesar the ape leader will suffer unimaginable loss and overcomes them consequently and succeeds in ape’s wellbeing. This movie is sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014).

From the beginning the ape leader character Caesar (played by Andy Serkis) was highlighted throughout and his mission to protect apes from human military group was as clear. Even though this character was designed with motion picture technology, Andy serkis showed his emotions effortlessly. Great characterizations were designed for all the apes and the feelings towards their community were showcased in brilliant manner. Woody Harrelson as The Colonel, given finest performance as obsessed military leader who wants to wipe out ape community. Amiah Miller (Little girl) as Nova portrayed as a bold and kind mute orphan. With limited screen presence her acting was appreciable.

Story and screenplay by Mark Bomback, Matt Reeves was extraordinary they are heart and soul for this movie. Especially screenplay in few scenes involving Caesar and his family or Nova (little girl) interactions with orangutan or conversations between Caesar and colonel where amazing. Though it is slow in few areas it won’t bore the audience due to its emotional connectivity. Weta Digital created the visual effects; the apes were created with a mixture of motion-capture and CGI, which are world class and it’s hard to believe that you’re watching a CGI image.

Background music (BGM) by Michael Giacchino was perfect and sounding he gave for particular scenes were far different from the regular commercial movies. During action scenes one would expect heavy BGM but here you will experience engrossing score. Cinematography was slightly different particularly in few scenes the focus was only on the main character with smudging background. Agreed movie-running time was more than 2 hours but editing was apt.

Hearing to the title one would like to watch breath taking action scenes but here don’t expect them. Believe me it is one of the best movies seen in recent times, do watch it – highly recommended.

Verdict: 4.5 / 5

Movie:  Darbar   (2020) Genre:   Action Thriller Runtime:  2hr 30mins Writer and director: A.R. Murugadoss Rajinikanth played the principle character Aditya Arunachalam a police commissioner who solves cases related to drug mafia and women trafficking in Mumbai.  Performance’s wise Rajini’s screen presence and dialogue delivery were extraordinary; he single handedly carried this film on his shoulders. All the hero elevation scenes and action blocks are treat to watch. Nayanthara’s role is incomplete and her performance is just ok. Nivetha Thomas finest role in recent times. Her performance as Rajinikanth Daughter was laudable. She shines in the character and her emotional scenes in the hospital with rajini are praiseworthy. Sunil shetty as villain is a bad choice, his acting and dialogue delivery falls flat and rest of the cast performances are just ok. Director Murugadoss showcased Rajinikanth in a prefect fashion. He highlighted Rajini’...

After 25 years truth will be revealed to Allu Arjun and rest of the story is how he unconventionally settles down things in his authentic family. Allu Arjun totally lived into the Devraj character and he is exceptional in hero elevation scenes. His acting and dances are as usually admirable and his action sequences are worthy. Pooja Hegde looks beautiful and has done decent job. Her romantic tract with allu arjun has come out well. Murali sharma as vamiki has done fantastic job, his role with negative shades has tremendous importance in the story. Samuthirani as Appalanaidu was ok; director should have etched his character properly. This film features assembled cast in which Jayaram stands out. Tabu as Jayaram’s wife was just ok. ...

Movie:  HIT – The First Case  (2020) Language: Telugu Genre:   Investigative Thriller Runtime:  2hr 6min Writer and director:  Sailesh Kolanu  The film starts with an eighteen year old girl, Preethi’s strange disappearance. Few months after that Neha (Ruhani Sharma) will also be missing in similar pattern. Vikram Rudra Raju (Vishwak sen) an aggressive police officer begins the investigation and find outs the culprit. Vishwak Sen was perfectly casted in the role of Vikram (a H omicide I ntervention T eam Cop). He has given settled performance and mostly impressive. His acting in post-traumatic attack scenes was realistic. Ruhani Sharma has done decent role and rest of the casting is perfect and believable. Director Sailesh’s (debutant) narration is gripping and from beginning to end it is clean investigative thriller needless to say he didn’t deviate from the plot. The way he introduces the protagonist character as good, intelligent...
