Truly Impressive

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2011)

I just left the movie theater and am still buzzing with excitement after seeing this movie. I will definitely be seeing it again. This movie is an awesome remake of the prequel to the Planet of the Apes. It is very tightly written, well acted and directed with great flare. The story moves along at a break neck pace, with many incredible action sequences. Not only is it a special effects extravaganza, but the movie never loses focus on the emotions of the characters, especially the apes. It is the emotional engagement that makes this movie a true success, the amazing special effects are just icing on the cake. It has been a long time since I have seen a movie created with such incredible pride. The artists involved deserve an academy award for their efforts. I eagerly await this directors next movie.
