Worth watching

Rating: Null/10 (12 August 2011)

The anticipated prequel to the classic Planet of the Apes series is like nicely wrapped present that slightly disappoints, when opened. Don't get me wrong, the cinematography, CGI and flawless digital animation of thousands of apes in the middle of revolution in San Francisco is nothing short of amazing. But when you actually sit down and sum up everything what you've seen, it all breaks down to a few nice looking action sequences, squeezed in between a few almost making u tear up moments of tenderness and emotion.
But then again, compared to most of summer flicks these days, what more can one ask for?
