See it so that movies like it will continue to be made.

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2004)

This is, arguably, the best movie out now and it's 10th behind tripe like a Scooby Doo sequel, a 75 minute remake of a decent movie that doesn't live up to the original, sappy teen romance stories, etc...
The poor showing of such an excellent movie further highlights what's wrong with movie industry and the American viewership at large. People would rather go see a few explosions, fist fights or scantily clad teens than something that is truly thought-provoking and engaging.
How can people see an 8.7 (current avg) rating on IMDB and not say "Hey, I should see that?" Do Jesus, Moses, Ganeesh, Buddah and Elvis have to come out and give it a thumbs up before people will go so this?
People refuse to believe there is a biological/evolutionary link between humans and apes. Based on box-office numbers, I'm inclined to agree. Chimps are smarter than most movie-goers.

P.S. I know this sounds harsh, but when Scooby Doo 2 makes 3.5 times on its opening weekend what this movie made on its opening weekend and has less than half the rating, it just makes me sad.
