Planet of the Apes

'Sentiment: Negative ☹️'
This movie merely goes through the motions. The story just moves along with little emotional connection or suspense. The "climax" creates some interest but is over far too quickly.Sure the apes are impressive but much of the effect is obscured by the darkness that shrouds 80% of the movie.Oh and then there's the ending which is the biggest sham I've yet to see in movies. It leaves you feeling like you were just scammed out of your money, taking place in a marketing gimmick. I am refering to the blatant set up for a sequel.Hollywood seems content just to fill cinema's on hype without trying to give any satisfication to those foolish enough to waste there money (or think this one will be any different from the last 10)Wait for DVD.Mike

This is essentially the most pointless film of the summer. The plot doesn't exist- crash land, capture, and then escape. Even the ending's stupid. The only good point was the actual monkey- no, not the evil apes, but the cute lil monkey fella. Now if they made a film about him...
'Sentiment: Positive 🙂'
Don't expect high drama or Shakespearean quality dialog. There's lots of good action sequences, great special effects, and some nifty science fiction geek concepts (even if the pseudo science is a bit inconsistent).The story isn't bad, has a couple of interesting twists on the original.Any movie that features humans + animals tugs the heart strings a little too.My only problem is that it really calls out for a sequel.My advice: don't take it too seriously and you might quite enjoy it.
