Rise of the Planet of the Apes

[Zaxxon]

I have just seen the very long trailer on sky.

Crikey that looks excellent. And it seems to make sense up to a point. I'm looking forward to this in a big way.

I cannot see how they take over the world though, surely humans masivley out number apes.

Do you seriously think it looks excellent? I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the trailer in the cinema, it looked that laughably bad.

[phil-sti]

in the remake with Mark Wahlberg, didn't it say at the end that it was caused by the smart chimp pilot landing on the planet?

[sinizter]

Looked interesting enough.

Have seen the others, so might as well catch this. Might wait till BD release.

Looks ace

The Wahlberg one was utter ste...he is always ste but the script was ste in it's own special way as well.

I've worked it out.

If yer going to raise a genetically modified super chimp, then call him Pootles or Fluffy, not Ceasar.

You can't lead a revolution when yer called Pootles.

Or Gerald, obviously.

[Halb]

Hmm, calling him after a legendary and egotistical war general...possibly not a good move.

[Shinobi]

Wasn't interested until I saw the trailor last night, looks interesting so will definatly go.

Wow just saw the US trailer actually story-wise it looks like the best big budget film looks like it has enough effects without going too crazy

[Skii]

Saw the trailer...or was it the entire film ? Just need to see the last five minutes now.

yeah, it does seem to tell almost all of the story...

"Damn you all to hell"

Is what the critics will be saying to the producers of the film

[ChiChoAndy]

It was frikkin sweet! Far better than I thought it would be. The cgi was a little bit 'cgi', but it got away with it. Very good, and there looks like there will be more! Oooh goodie!

I've heard that it's the surprise hit of the Summer

[Meoricin]

Just finished watching it. The best film I've seen in a very long time - solid storyline, almost all the development is logical. Really wasn't expecting it to be so good.

Except Caesar suddenly being able to speak with apparently a normal voice at the end - that really came out of nowhere, considering he'd been pushing it at 'No' and a few other choice words up until then.

[Guffy]

Saw this last night, overall i really enjoyed, although the director took some liberties with the plot during the jump in time, you will have to suspend your disbelief, even for a sci-fi! Brian Cox and Freida Pinto added very little other than their name or looks, Caesar stole the film completely, an amazing array of complex emotions and expressions. 8/10 for me.

SPOILER: He gained the ability from the last super heavy dose of the drug he bombarded the place with to make the monkey's smart.

But he doesn't demonstrate it until the very end? His speech in between the heavy dosage and the line 'Caesar is home' is very much single almost-words, but then suddenly he pulls out a very human-sounding line.

A british accent to boot
