The Apes of Wrath

Rating: 4/10 (23 June 2013)

Flowers for Algernon meets Escape from Alcatraz with a heaping helping of motion-capture thrown in for the folks who are easily amused by computer animation. Ugh. Tom Felton makes an appearance as a life-sized cardboard cutout. The film does contain many nice references to the 1968 movie. If you must watch this movie, entertain yourself by looking for them. Several mysteries the movie doesn't bother to explain: Apes keep multiplying, to the point where the climax features hundreds of them. There is a scene where intelligence flows like gas from a pressurized canister. The love interest (the human love interest, they didn't bother writing a she-ape character), inexplicably loses her chimpanzee expertise.
