In Reply to: RE: "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes:" no way is this superior to the posted by tinear on July 16, 2014 at 09:23:39
The ape costumes seemed to fit a lot better and the eyes were more communicative. Maybe the eyes had to do with the actors? But the masks all too often had permanent looks of anger or disdain instead of being neutral when need be. To me, that is a big part of film in the costuming of the apes.
In the first I remembered when Caesar showed the first spark of lucidity. It seems almost frightening. As for this one, the ape "Uncle Tom-ing" cracked me up immediately. I not sure most of audience actually caught on at first. (Don't let a monkey make a fool out of you.)
The action was great but, alas, the movie too long. This one may break the series due to the lack of costumes and script. But, it will depend on the summer audience and it may well exceed wild expectations.

Were ape costumes used. I thought the human actors acted with special suits and green screen and the ape skins were added via CGI.

I had not checked into all the facets of makeup and such for this one. Most of the "suits" seemed a bit baggy. Perhaps they had been eating too many grits.
...were motion capture and CGI.
Ape suits were in the Three Stooges.
pictures of the actors during lunch breaks and what not, they were wearing ape masks/makeup. While Serkis' Ceasar and a couple of others may have been entirely or mostly CGI creations, not all were.

"E burres stigano"
Animals eat right, get a lot of exercise, and don't drink or do drugs. As a result they are rarely fat or baggy. Maybe I'll see it again on Netflix and reappraise.
It was a pretty good entertainment--so it's not like the CGI ruined it for me.
...they are taking on human characteristics.
There were no ape costumes.
