    7.5/10

    First half was very well done, I felt the attachment; the second half felt like "ok we got funding, proceed with the movie"

    not bad, not great, a step up above Cowboys & Aliens from last week

    Those Apes are racist!

    Can't we humans and Apes just live as equals?

    Surprisingly good. Didn't expect this to be one of the best summer movies this year, but imo it definitely is. Very entertaining.

    Good:
    nods and setup to PotA storyline
    Great CGI work
    Story and plot much better than I expected, not just a dumb summer movie.

    Bad:
    Some cheesy moments, but nothing too bad
    trying to buy Franco as a brilliant scientist

    Wasnt a fan of any of The Planet of the Apes series (old and new) most of them were almost unwatchable for me, especially the one where Heston finds the nuke the apes were worshipping.

    Just curious though, how does this movie resolve the question that immediately springs to mind when i saw the trailer... how does a few hundreds? thousands? millions? smart Apes managed to bring down 5 billion humans, with guns, tanks, planes, and guns, did i mention guns? Spoil me plz.

    At the end, they show that this pilot was infected with the drug that made the apes smart but earlier that same drug also killed the lab tech so it was harmful to humans. So that set off an epidemic that wiped out humanity.

    Movie made roughly $54 million opening weekend. Pretty good. Reportedly the budget was something like $93 million, so unless it just totally bombs on subsequent weekends, I think we may get to see another one of these.

    Hope so, I'd be very curious to see where the story goes after what happens at the end. Whole new landscape with what they set up.
