Waste of time and money

Rating: 1/10 (19 August 2011)

This movie was a complete disaster. You are wasting your money. Trust me on this one. It is unrealistic in so many ways. First of all, the US has a lot more cops than 20. And a whole lot more helicopters than just 1. And a National Guard...and plenty of weapons. This movie could have been a whole lot better with a different plot, and the mimics and the behavior of the apes more realistic (except for Ceasar who should express intelligence). Just watch National Geographic Channel for Goodness sake! Did they have zoologists as consultants at all? The director just had to have action scenes. But they were few and poorly made.
The 2001 Mark Whalberg-film may be pointless, but much better than this one. And the first Charlton Heston-film is still the best.
