The story line was great, the cinematography was awesome all in all one of the best movies iv'e seen in a long time. 5 thumbs up
4 1/2 stars. This is a must see movie. Something for everyone. I'm going to see this again in 3D, just to see if there is any room for improvement. Would have loved to see it at the Imax.
Without a doubt, the special effects are fantastic. The rest of the movie is way below standard, when compared to the first one. Too much character development and setting up for the next movie... Some really boring parts !!
Great balance of action with an actual storyline. The CG was spectacular on the apes. I really enjoyed the film.
Awesome! I'd put this right alongside Battle For the Planet of the Apes!
This is a terrific movie and continues the story beautifully! The ape CG is flawless. I have been a fan since seeing the original back in '68. It is amazing what they can do these days with special effects and the 3D was awesome. FYI...the 3rd movie - "Escape" ('73?) - occurs well after "Rise" and "Dawn" with respect to the timeline. These movies lead up to the events that occur in the original and the remake with Mark Wahlberg in 2001.
There already was a third movie, it was called ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES.
Thought it was kind of ho-hum. Glad we didn't waste extra on 3D, as the movie's scenes didn't warrant it. It was a pretty simple storyline, and the human actors didn't stand out and I just didn't think the film was as successful with apes as the main characters.
Great movie. Want to see a third already
