Good,,but far fro great..

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2011)

It was a fun okay summer movie but it no way compares to some of the bygone great summer films of yesteryear...
The Computer generated monkeys were okay except it made Caesar look a little too unreal. His facial features were unlike any chimp I ever seen at a zoo or in a documentary. The other primates looked better.
The storyline was okay but it all seemed very rushed. They wanted to make mankind look so cynical and mean , even the one good guy was oblivious and uncaring in some of his actions, it was as if the movie's intention was hey, we actually deserve to be eliminated.
Since we all know it's sort of a prequel to the famous first Planet of the Apes film from the 60's, there was very little suspense to it. There still however is a big gap between where this movie ends and where that one begins so there might be a second prequel ? LOL
