'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' and 'Boyhood' Mashed-Up into the Awesome 'Apehood'
So in most markets this weekend you have a couple of great films to pick from, both technical achievements of very different stripes. One is Matt Reeves' CG marvel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. The other is Richard Linklater's Boyhood, a small coming-of-age film developed over a fairly large span of time. They may be about as different as two movies can be, but then again maybe not?
Nelson Carvajal has masterfully edited footage from 'Dawn' and Rise of the Planet of the Apes with the nostalgic music from Boyhood to create something that's hilarious but also pretty moving. It's very cool stuff so check it out below. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is out now (review here), while Boyhood opens here in DC next week although you can check out an early review here.
