Great film, exceeded my expectations

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2011)

At first I thought, not another Planet of the Apes remakes, quit whilst you're ahead. But this film truly blew me away. It was incredible. My expectations were well and truly exceeded. There was a clear plot and storyline lined out which was easy to follow and understand, the way the film made you connect with both the humans and apes is remarkable, this happened in such a way, that it seemed there there were no bad guys, you wanted both sides to prevail in different ways. Great special effects and action scenes too. The only flaw that I could think of would possibly be the acting, no chance of an Oscar for best actor, but then again, you can't give an Oscar to a chimp !
