And, for the first time in my knowledge, it's the performances of the motion capture actors, not the regular actors portraying humans, that are getting all the good reviews from critics there is even talk of the first best-actor Oscar nomination for a motion-capture performance. That's because his performance in the woods (actually, forests near Vancouver, not San Francisco) wasn't fillmed traditionally, it was motion captured, and used as a framework for a computer-created realistic digital ape, Caesar. In fact, if you passed the leading man of Dawn- Andy Serkis-on the street, you wouldn't recognize his face at all, for you never see it on the screen. And long enough that moviemakers no longer need to give a recognizable Hollywood star top billing to bring in audiences. Long enough to create computer graphics gear robust enough to take out of the studio and deep into a real forest. In the world of motion picture technology, though, that's an eternity.
But in real time, it's been just three years since the Rise movie. The tension between the two societies drives the action-packed Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the sequel to the 2011 Rise of the Planet the Apes that starred James Franco.Īs this sequel begins, Franco's character has been dead for a decade, and the apes have had plenty of time to create their version of civilization. The men and women who survived a deadly virus that wiped out much of earth's human population hunker down amidst the ruins of San Francisco meanwhile, a growing ape population has built a lovely and thriving community outside of San Francisco in Muir Woods.
