Really?

Rating: 2/10 (8 August 2011)

I grew up watching the movies, and the series on TV, and although they were not great, the first movie with Charlton Heston, was a classic.
This movie, although had some good ties to the original series, just had too many flaws.
Here are several examples that just stood out to me...
One of the main scientists was accidentally exposed to the virus, and no one thought to keep tabs on this guy? Really?
There are about 20-25 monkeys in the Primate Habitat, but when they all escape, the over head camera shot showed around 100 monkeys running out of the enclosure, down the mountain side. Really? (This was BEFORE they broke the other 50 apes out of the zoo!)
Also Caesar's facial features looked a little too human, not enough chimp. Really. (It was supposed to be his brain that was affected, not his face)
At the GEN-SIS project HQ, main bad human, (Steven Jacobs), walks into the center of the rotunda, looks up, and sees apes all the way around surrounding him 360 degrees, (at least 2 levels full of apes that we can see) and he runs out of the building. The apes jump from the balconies to follow, but when the doors open to the outside, Steven Jacobs is the only one that comes running out. Really? How come the apes did not catch him? How come they were not hot on his trail out the door? It is after all, the very next scene we see, so at least one or two should have been chasing him out the door. (This is when all the apes came to break out the 6-8 apes at the center, making their numbers swell even more!)
-This one really killed me- Orangutan throws manhole cover at police car, and it got stuck in the window. Really? (Don't those things weigh like around 70 to 100 pounds? A car windshield stopped it? Really?)
When the police confront the apes coming at them on the Golden Gate Bridge, not a one of these cops thought that the apes would climb up on the cables, nor go under the bridge? Really?
I won't even go into the scene where apes where throwing spears, really.
The whole movie was like this... full of things you just have to wonder and think to yourself, "Really?"
