War for the Planet of the Apes Movie Review

So I just got back from seeing the new film War for the Planet of the Apes.
So, what are my thoughts?
It's basically exodus, you will understand what I mean by this by the end of the film. Also can we give Andy Serkis a few awards for this film,also the animators for the apes? Because it is damn good editing.
The music score was top notch. Very impressive the composer should get nominated for an award.
There is actually very little dialogue in the film, and they do use silence very effectively, I was very impressed.
There are a few problems in the film though. For example the little girl they find (the actress does a great job), she doesn't really get much character development in the film, but she does bond with the apes... off screen... for the most part. Also Woody Harrelson did just an average job in this film, I excepted more from him.
When this film does come out on dvd, I would recombined buying all three films together in a combo pack, which will probably happen.
One thing that I did find interesting though is that they showed the apes culture start to develop a little more, and I would have liked to see more of that.
In the end though for the most part, this is a satisfying end to a trilogy. The trilogy would be a fun one to watch with some friends for a movie night.
My final thought is I would like to congratulate the cast and crew and let them know that overall they did a great job with this film.

final score: 4/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was phenomenal, the cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would
