Its so hard to get kids to watch anything with you these days. War of the Planet of the Apes is due out in a week or so, to get ready me and the wife sat down to watch number 1 (Rise) and then as we were in the mood number 2 (Dawn) The 13 year old daughter made a big thing about not wanting to watch it and then when she came down half way through proceeded to sit down and ask questions, then watch the rest…. kids! So they all ended up staying to watch the second one.
It’s strange now to watch this remake, with the film and CGI technology being what it is now they have done a fantastic job with these films. The 2001 remake was terrible and although I found it ok at the time, when I went to go back I hated it. No where near as good as the current reboot.
The originals however are amazing, always loved them when I was younger and even though when you watch them now they are dated they are still amazing films. I think I need to watch them again now, although I will wait until after I have seen the new rebooted one.
All in all, a good night with the family but watching both of them back to back took some time, tired now and so I am going to do this post and then go to bed 🙂
