Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Post by Kristatos »

Just saw the trailer for this awkwardly-titled movie on TV. Their take on the story looks OK (though shorn of the political overtones that made Conquest..., which the film is effectively a remake of, so interesting), but the CGI apes look less realistic than the actors in make-up from the '60s and '70s Apes films.

I enjoyed it, but Tom Felton was awful.
