Going Ape ...

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2012)

Or as they called the movie in Germany: Prevolution. But let's not get into the title game (I'm not gonna spell that for you). Let's focus on the movie. It might have taken them a lot of time to come with another Ape movie (after the "re-imagening" Tim Burton unleashed upon us), but it was worth the wait.
We have another reboot (sort of), which tells us, that stands alone. And while that is true, it is nice to see all the nods to the classic ape movie! There is even a clip with Charlton Heston playing in the background in one scene. There is a quote from the original movie (I'm gonna say one word: "paws"!) and other nods, that do justice to the ape-line. Great actors, great story (though you may know where it all leads too, it still is filled with tension and exciting to watch), very recommendable!
