Dull and small scale - a waste of time

Rating: 2/10 (28 December 2011)

Didn't enjoy this movie. The story is weak and uninvolving. Good points: How they made the apes act is quite amazing. Very real. Faults: Bit confusing which ape was which. The story was irritating and uninteresting. Franco's scientist did cause a lot of trouble just because got attached to his ape. Too much of the story took place in the facility. The whole thing felt very small scale. Only the last part had some epic feel. Didn't feel for any of the characters human or animal. There is no chemistry between Pinto and Franco. She gets cast in roles that don't quite suit her. Overall about as bad as the Marky Mark movie. Only the original Heston version was good. Forget all the rest.
