Cinema Trips: August
Thursday, September 1st, 2011 19:35I have nothing to complain about this month, as all three were well worth the money, but I'm torn between Super 8 and ROTPOTA for my movie of the month.
Cowboys & Aliens was full of plot holes and inconsistencies, but it was enjoyable enough that I don't feel like dwelling on them.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is much more believable than the other films, due to having apes created by motion capture and CGI rather than men in suits. I especially liked the scene on the bridge when the chimps climbed the cables to escape the police while the orang utans swung from arm to arm along the underside of the bridge (I love orang utans). I liked the ending, as it showed a logical way that a takeover by the apes could actually happen.
Super 8 was great. Apparently the last half hour is exactly the same as ET but I have never seen ET so that didn't bother me. The train crash near the beginning was absolutely spectacular, so spectacular in fact that I found it extremely hard to believe that all six children escaped without a scratch on them.
