War for the Planet of the ApesBecause if they could use a King Kong
[1] reboot as an excuse to do a Vietnam war film, then why not this one?
Actually, I minded this a lot less than the previous two. You know exactly what to expect, and it delivers well.
There should be a law against hearing directors making films with sign language
[2] in them without adult supervision, thobut. They really haven't got a clue about how to frame the shots, and it's extremely jarring to watch, even with subtitles. You wouldn't not bother providing sound when actors speak in
FOREIGN, would you? Fucksake.
[1] It took me about half the film to get the 'donkey' joke.
[2] I recognised exactly one ASL sign and some reasonable proforms, so I'll defer to someone with knowledge of USAnian to say whether it was utter bollocks, ASL or a credible derived pidgin. Not that it matters, the sign space should still be in frame by default.
