Entertaining watch, fits the hype advertisers pushed

Rating: 8/10 (15 September 2012)

Not bad, Actually it was a pretty good movie. I was never big on the original series, mostly because it was somewhat before my time, and film making has progressed since then.
OK, I give it an 8. Story wise it was pretty good. In the end it got the viewer to the already known fate (this is "Rise" and therefore you know what has to happen in order for them to go on to a "Planet."
The CGI that was used to create the Apes was solid, but like all movies that use this cost saving method, the CGI around the apes, the scenes of them moving, etc. Were a little too plastic, meaning that the just can't get all the correct movements of leaves, wind, and such.
Another thing I disliked is a little off subject and refers to all action movies and I write about it just now because I finally remembered too. People, directors, producers, CGI techs, and special effect people, Cars ARE NOT BULLET PROOF! You can't hide in a car, you can't hide behind the door, hood, roof,in a trunk, or floor of a car! The only real spot to be even remotely safe is behind the engine block. OK thats my rant.
Pretty good flick.
