Thought I knew the answer.

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2011)

Having seen all the Ape movies, I assumed I knew how the Apes came to rule. Maybe I missed it before but don't think so. Not until the credits rolled did I appreciate the subtle reminders inserted of the previous Ape movies. For instance, the news story about the manned mission to Mars and its failure. An ape holding in its hand a small piece of the Statue of Liberty. These and others created flashbacks for me to the very first movie. Kudos to the Director, Writers, etc, for the surprise of my life! What a brilliant ending! I feel sorry for the movie goers that walked out as the credits started rolling. If you have seen the movie and stayed you know exactly what I'm talking about. ( I suspect this was done deliberately ) Those who left early still don't know the answer.
