I really liked the characters and their development throughout the movie. It was great to see the world-building that takes place to really convey the idea that humans have abandoned their world and how apes are really the dominant species. The pacing was very long but it is understandable due to the fact that this is the start to a new trilogy in a new timeframe which means that it takes time to set up everything in one movie. Great movie overall though.
In the beginning of the movie, humans are rare, lost their ability to speak and have lost their intelligence… their competitive edge.,When humans finally appear, their female spokeswoman speaks clearly eith high intelligence. Huh?
I liked the father son relationship and its development. I liked the friendships. I liked the Orangutan. I liked the trust the girl had to have to save her life and eventually save her ape friends and her people. I barely remember the original with Roddy McDowall. Entertaining enough.
it felt like a very short 2.5 hours tv show
great start to a new a trilogy
It felt like a very long tv-movie. 2/5
The story line was good; however, they should have left the original actors from the series - it felt like they were not believable like the original actors. I enjoyed how they showed who save the apes.
Awesome movie.
I must confess I thought it was poor.
Waited so long to finally get to see this - husband fell asleep half way thru it and I was ready to leave as well. Just not enjoyable. What a big disappointment.
