Glad my friends forced me to go see this!

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2011)

It was my birthday and my friends forced me to the theater to see this. I had little hopes. Turns out this is a great movie! Franco does the job and all the supporting actors are good but the real star of the film is the effects! When you realize that none of the apes are real you'll have a better appreciation for the film. The cg is amazing and it actually has a great script for what it is. The story is so good you forget about the apes being able to speak and when it actually happens you want to put you fist in the air and scream "YEAH!" You actually care about the apes in the movie and they are just cg characters. When the apes fight back its awesome,,,just wait for the helicopter scene. The script has a perfect flow and buildup to where nothing seems flat and you'll have those leave the animals alone/humans are bad feelings before you know it.
This is really worth a buy
