I just saw it.

When AVATAR was released,people were discussing if motion-capture performances should be elegible for Oscars. I didn't care for that debate, mainly because I didn't see anything special in the performances there. But here, Andy Serkis prooves we need to have a system to rate those performances, because he's excellent.And the directing (which reminded a lot of the SPIDER-MAN and the FX (which were kind of cheesy) were great.

While I had a good time watching this movie, I felt the payoff wasn't completely worth all the leading up. You see, the marketing made it look like the apes were gonna take over the planet, movies) but instead they just run away to the forest. WTF?! Also, I didn't feel that it did justice to the franchise. You see, the original was about how all the major issues in our society would eventually destroy us. But this one focused on one theme only (animal rights), and it mixed it a little with how the X-MEN movies delt with discrimination. And the scene during the credits showed the disease spreading all over the world, and that disease was a result of the lab experiments which were a result of greed and maybe a little pride, but again that wasn't "major".

I give it 6/10.

I don't want it to be nominated for anything.

Such as becoming the NEW GOBLIN,trying to pretend he was sensitive to get a girl while a guy to the same to his cousin,and...well,whatever JAMES DEAN did?But he's not always like that.He chose to deal marihuana only instead of pills.As for f*ck*ng Sean Penn...that's a grey area.

Yeah, James Franco's characters make very poor life decisions.

While I don't think it was as bad as you guys think, it definitely had MAJOR plot problems. You could say that James Franco's decision to leave his father at home unsupervised led to EVERY BAD THING IN THE MOVIE....which led to the first movie in 1968, which led to the sequels and the 2001 remake. Nice going, Franco!

Even as someone speaking in the scientific community, I think there is a very legitimate question to be raised about scientific advancements not only for the simple reason that we can do them, but when the ugly spectre of profit without adequate research rears its head. A similar question was raised in Jurassic Park when Malcom noted (and I paraphrase a bit) "You did this because you can do it, but no one ever stopped and asked if you should."

True; the throwback to the old atomic age sci-fi movies and their whole "beware of science" messages.

Time Magazine even listed the social commentary subtext to each movie.

Original Planet of the Apes: Race relations.
Beneath ... Planet of the Apes: Antiwar/anti-nuclear weapons.
Escape ... Planet of the Apes: Women's rights.
Conquest ... Planet of the Apes: Equal rights.
Battle: Culture clash.
Tim Burton's POTA: Nothing, it was just a bad movie.
Rise ... Planet of the Apes: Animal Rights.

What will be the next installment's theme ... we'll know in 2-5 years' time!

If a modern sci-fi movie can get the saturnwatcher seal of approval, it MUST be good!

Damn, maybe H-Wood is finally getting a clue, and if they are going to do remakes and reboots, they are actually bothering to put people with talent in charge of the projects!

I saw this today, and I thought it was very good...definitely not one of ours. The CGI effects, which Head Razz criticized somewhat in the opening, were actually quite outstanding. They started off a bit shaky when Caesar was a baby chimp, but later representations were extremely good. I would go so far as to say that this is actually one of the best films in the sci fi genre that I have seen in several years.

The only thing that really bothered me about this movie was Caesar talking. The whole theater started laughing when he did that. Also, I thought it was dumb that Tom Felton said the "Take your stinking hands off me..." line. Oh spoiler? Oops.

It was still a good movie, though. Really liked that it had a lot of heart in it.
