One of the most boring films of all time!

Rating: 1/10 (21 September 2014)

When I first saw this film in the theater in the season it came out, I couldn't believe how boring it was nor understand why it was such a hit. My opinion has not changed. I kept saying to the friend I was with "Let's go!" She just kept answering that something had to happen soon. After 25 minutes of watching apes jump around, it didn't matter what happened next. Not to mention the 10 minutes of space ship inspection, and that was just the outside. The movie had a message, which I do understand, but it didn't make up for the incredible monotony of the film. When something did happen, it was so minimal in comparison to the whole film that I couldn't even get interested. This is a film without any character to get interested in or like, no followable storyline, just a ho-hum message. Some good music, but I could hear better on the radio on NPR most Sunday mornings. If you want to be mind-numbed, go for it.
