how much it moved you

Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.

Read from 106 comments (74 from Reddit, 27 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) — 31 of them described how it moves.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Marked above the line: 1 that landed as a blow, 1 that gave people chills.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
marks: single moments — a jump, a blow, chills, a laugh
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“this film finishes the Apes origins saga in a way that's far more gripping, intelligent, and thought-provoking than a blockbuster could ever be expected to be. Caesar ought to be cemented as one of cinema's most memorable characters. This movie completes his arc so powerfully”
