A Reimagining not worth your time

Rating: 1/10 (2 February 2012)

I am glad I missed this in the theater I would have been upset if I had paid theater prices for this travesty of a film.
First of this IS NOT, repeat IS NOT a remake of the original. It is in fact a re-imaging, like the last Star Trek Movie. The only thing it has in common with the original is they both have apes in it and the title.
This is a very boring movie, it takes a documentary style of story telling with some drama put in, it's not even good drama.
John Lithgow does give a good performance as Jame Franco's father but somethings are not really explained like the crazy next door neighbor, as to why he has such a foul disposition, he just is bad character development.
The movie uses decent C.G. for the ape but thats about it.
This is not a cohesive story with too many holes and it is slow too much time is spent on Ceasar's progress.
Don't waste your time seeing this bad movie.
