Jman Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) One of those that could be really good or a total stinker. I can't tell from the trailer. Edited June 7, 2011 by Jman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 An updated trailer. Movie debuts Aug 12. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/rise_of_the_planet_of_the_apes/trailers/11147522 Still can't tell by the teasers and trailers whether R.P.A. will be really good...or really bad. Has potential either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Just got back. Mostly Brilliant....mostly. 3-1/2 stars Edited August 6, 2011 by Jman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3quartertime Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Just got back 2... I'd agree that it's pretty good. Not awesome like it could have been, but pretty good. The ending was weak, but it appeared they did that for a sequel... The head chimp in charge was super creepy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Might be me but i thought it sucked...no redeeming value. Stupid, etc,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I liked it. Some of the self referential stuff was pretty blatant but I don't mind being hit over the head with an obvious joke on occasion. The chimp building a model of the statue of liberty was pretty funny. You also have to like the setup for the sequel with the manned mission to mars getting lost. Caesar's mother being named "Bright Eyes" was a nice homage but of course somebody (even if it was that kid that played Malfoy in Harry Potter) had to do the damn dirty ape line. All in all I left satisfied and looking forward to the sequel. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3quartertime Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 The CGI for the apes was pretty impressive. Caesar was down right creepy. When he spoke 'NO' in the cages you knew he would speak again, but it was still really weird to hear his voice. Interesting premise for the sequel. I didn't put that together. Maybe they help save the humans then take off to find a new home? The good thing about the main characters being CGI is they never get too old to revive the role!!! lol...

The virus is going to wipe out most of us and then the apes are going to take over. The lost rocket ship to mars will come back in a thousand or so years, so all the characters in this movie will be dead, and we will be right where Charlton Heston was in the first movie. That is what it looks like from the clues. But, maybe, they have something else in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 The CGI 'was' the movie for me. I can not imagine where this technology will be in 10 years. You can see that it has a way to go especially on the wide shots were it looks very animated to me. Yes, it certainly appears to be the beginning of at least a "two parter". A note to those who have not gone...stay in your seats after the credits begin to see the epilogue. Important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkballedtarget Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 It turned out better than I thought it would.... That being said my expectations were extremely... It was ok, and id give it 3 stars. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hefta Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I liked it too, entertaining and about what I expected. I think that a squad of USPSA shooters could have stopped the apes in their tracks but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
