I’m not a big fan of CGI – It makes me stop believing everything I see. But there comes a time when you have to give in – or get left behind – and I’m not at the “getting left behind place” just yet. It will happen. And I hope I’ll have the grace to know when it does.
Watch this clip from The Rise of the Panet of the Apes and you will know what I mean. It’s a bit more than actors jumping around in front of a blue background with lightsabers. The ubiquitous James Franco puts in a performance that is only eclipsed by “Caesar” the Ape with the “smarts” to put us all back to where we came from in the first place. Look and Learn.
