Makes you wonder if they know something we don't or if they are all so incredibly stupid that they all saw the movie and think it is real. The most amusing thing I noticed (and this may be purely co-incidental) was the fact that Congress passed a law restricting the practice of testing drugs on chimpanzees around the time this movie was releas ed.
With the advances in technology since the originals were released, we are finally at a time and place where the true potential of great stories like The Planet of the Apes can be unleashed.Ī good friend of mine has Alzheimer's and seeing the way in which the apes evolved was both uplifting and awe-inspiring. I loved the concept, but even as a kid I could see the faults in the way the movies were originally presented. I know that I am going to be slammed about this, but I am not a fan of the original movies. I have to be perfectly honest and upfront before I review this movie. Outstanding movie, truly a cinematic tour-de-force. The two-disc set, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, is 105 minutes long and is subtitled in English and Spanish for viewer convenience. The battle decides the fate of the entire planet.
