~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.................. is this the intro? No? Ok more black screen.................................
What the heck? Why did that intro take 5 min? And for what??
Interesting.... the dawn of man opens with scenes of landscape at, you guessed it, dawn.
Poor monkey man! Minding his own business and then WHAM! a leopard comes out of nowhere!! (Wait were there leopards present at the dawn of man?!)
Man in monkey suite, man in monkey suit, WAIT a real baby monkey!!
Battle for the PLANET OF THE APES......or PUDDLE OF THE APES!!
Yuuuuup cause obviously throwing a bone in the air would make it not only reach space but also turn into a space ship.
Ooooh space! I would slap Velcro on my shoes and walk around too... seems very realistic.
I just loooooooooove the speed with which everyone goes about their business in this film.
They could not go ANY faster.
The FASTEST lowering platform I HAVE EVER SEEN.
REALLY CREEPY AND UNNECESSARILY SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC
Local space headlines read: Breaking News! Weird rock can now travel to moon! Nothing suspicious or otherwise unsettling about that folks!
The music choice back at it again! You think something dramatic is gonna happen because of the music? Think again!
Why have a regular space station when you can have a hamster wheel.... but in SPACE.
Oh the computer talks & is programed to have a mind of its own..... cause this has NEVER not worked out....... what could go wrong???
Its totally gonna be the terminator/the matrix or something.... but in SPACE.
Some of the local space attractions include: tanning.... in space, chess with possible evil robot..... in space, and face time.....but in SPACE.
Oh look Darth Vader is gonna check the receiver.
DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT A POSSIBLY EVIL ROBOT EVER!!! THEY CAN ALWAYS HEAR YOU!!!
Frank got ejected. Goodbye Frank.
EVIL SPACE ROBOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CALLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah DAVE you should totally go after him.... he could be alive.... yup Dave looks really concerned... (DOES ANYONE MOVE AT ANY SPEED BUT 0??? EVEN WHEN FRANK IS MOST DEFINITELY/PROBABLY DEAD???)
Evil robot kills sleepy space people. Goodbye sleeping beauties. (Is it just me or is it real weird that they are asleep so they just... continue to sleep... but ETERNAL sleep)
MAN VS. MACHINE...........................but in SPACE!
Dave fights back in a really unrealistic way.... cause holding your breath in space is TOTALLY PLAUSIBLE.
What kind of anticlimactic tom foolery is this? We were finally getting some action! But no... Dave just turns a key a few times and EVIL ROBOT becomes previously/supposedly nice robot.
BUT NOW LETS FLASH TO JUPITER.
MORE BREATHING!!! MORE BEES!!! WHO IS GOING CRAZY WITH THE FEBREZE???
Somebody had to be trippin on acid to be creating this teleportation / transcendence scene. Maybe you have to be trippin to understand it too.
Dave isn't looking too good.
Now think Grand Canyon or Arizona..............but in SPACE AND MULTI COLORED.
Ah yes... creepy room with creepy flashes of Dave's life..... not weird.
DAVE IS DYING AND THE WEIRD ROCK IS THERE!!!
Oooooooooooh ok.... now it makes sense...... he's a FETUS...... of couuuuurrseeee
NOT OF COURSE THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE SO MANY QUESITONS!!!!!!!!!
Dave became a glowing golden fetus traveling through space. Good for you Dave.
WTF
