Absolutely brilliant film. Thought it was going to be naff from the trailers, but they completely ignore what most of the film is about.

 

[Timmmmahhhh]

I think it looks like it'll be brilliant!!

 

[bluethai]

As expected, excellent film and a lot better than Tim Burton version!

 

[ElanJo]

Nooooooo!!!

Was very pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The trailer doesn't do it justice.

Very good film with an actual story line

I was impressed until the end, which didnt really tie up well. Just left questions, but then again they have to leave it open for a sequel

 

[Sparkys-Army]

Awesome film! Go watch it NOW! :)

I believe I read somewhere that they intend to do an entire reboot of Planet of the Apes series. So not just this film but the others as well, and will hopefully improve that second one, I was not a fan of number 2. Well I was up until the end, the evolved humans thing was a bit strange.

ah ok thats cleared it up then, I think a sequel set years after rise of the apes (kind of mid ape takeover) would be better than a direct sequel. Mainly so human characters from the first can be forgotten

I thought it ticked along nicely until about the 1hour 10 mark, when they seemed to think 'shit, we need to end this in the next 30 minutes, better speed things up'. From then on, it went a bit too fast IMO.

Still enjoyed though.

Can I be the first to predict that its going to be shite?

How wrong can someone be?

There is a bit of a problem with this film unfortunately. Throughout the film humans are shown to act cruelly towards the apes. In the scenes at the end of the film humans are seen killing apes but apart from the one act of "revenge" the apes are only seen disarming or incapacitating humans. It is a deliberate attempt to bestow some kind of higher moral virtue on the apes. However, in the wild, Apes act with considerably less virtue towards other species that threaten them, other packs that threaten their territory and against members of their own packs. There is plenty of footage of apes attacking, killing and eating their own. The film suffers by failing to show the true nature of the wild apes in the final scenes. One whiff of the drug and they suddenly subscribe to non lethal combat dictum!

It's a shame because the final bridge scene would have been much more powerful if the apes had acted more ape like.

Isn't that because Caesar told them not to?

 

[Gelsons Dad]

Isn't that because Caesar told them not to?

No it's because the more appropriate level of violence would have required a more restrictive film classification.

PG-13 brings in the big bucks!

Isn't that because Caesar told them not to?

That's what I got from the film Caesar didn't want the apes killing. Which I think was more to do with him not wanting harm to come to his adopted family or other good people in general.
