Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Anybody see it yet? I took my son yesterday and I can't believe how good it was. I left the theater wishing I was a gorilla.

saw it Monday....thought it was great. I'm not a big CGI fan, but it's time I got with the times, & I thought they did an amazing job with it, & the
storyline was great. You should show your kids the original Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes afterward. I had to watch that again last week before
I saw Rise, & I forgot how rad it was, especially with the civil rights relevancy thrown in there. & I can't think of a whole lot of things cooler
than liberated apes beating down riot cops.....

Is it a remake of one of the old ones, or does it have a new story? I've never seen any of the old ones, are they worth checking out?

it's loosely based on the 4th (I believe), Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes, which is a prequel to the
whole series. You gotta check out the whole series, I'm working through them again as it's been a while since I had watched 'em. Conquest/Rise are
definitely my favorites

After the movie my son said he wants to have a marathon of the originals next week which I am psyched to do. I think they set it up perfectly for the
next one, I don't want to throw any spoilers out there but after everybody sees it you'll know why. The CGI was so good too. I particularly like how
they set up/explained the different apes' roles in the ape society. Really well done. Lots of tips of the hat to the original as well.

Absolutely essential sci-fi. All 5 movies.

^^^^^^^^^^ I spit my water out laughing from this post. Never saw the originals, but want to see this one.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

We just got back from seeing it.
It was even better than I expected.
and my son also mentioned wanting to see the originals now, so I think an Ape-a-thon will be in the works.
yeah I really wish I was able to swing from redwoods too.....
big gorilla was fierce.
I'm guessing they can pick up with another one ...what you guys think?
