I must say I do have profound objections to the way that animal research, and in particular chimpanzee research, was depicted in that film.  Yeah, yeah, it's just a movie, but people are going to think that's actually how it's done and then vote for stupid crap like banning chimp research.  Can't speak for you guys, but I'd like to see a cure for HIV or Hepatitis C someday.

Did like the San Francisco monkey thunderdome, though.  WTF was THAT about?

Haha SF Monkey (ape) Thunderdome. That was great.

I dont think the demographic that is seeing this movie is the type of person to protest any type of research being done. I think by the end of the movie you kind of forget about that, and let the fantasy part take over considering the feelings felt towards Caesar. They should just start testing humans, leave the chimps alone. Like we dont have plenty of humans to test on.  ::)

DaOld Man:
I went to see this movie today. Was going to see it last weekend but the passing of my brother put everything on hold. Just figured I needed to get out of the house and do something.

Anyway, I loved this movie. I dont care that it was CGI, it was probably the best CGI I have seen so far.
The technology is getting better. We may be seeing something like "Simone" before too long.
Anyway, I highly suggest you see it if you havent already.
Now some spoilers:

The launching of the ship to Mars had the same name as the ship in the original movie with Charlton Heston.
Also notice that a newspaper sneak peak said it was missing.
"Get your paws off me you dirty ape" was used again in this movie.
The slow guy watching TV when he was called by the other guy to help him was watching Charlton Heston on the TV. Was it a scene from the original POTA? I couldnt tell for sure.
I heard that the guy playing Ceaser not only played Golum but also played King Kong.

Mikezilla:
Yes DOM, his name is Andy Serkis, and he did play all thos characters that you mentioned. The cool thing is that I dont think his actual face has ever been on screen at all, even as an extra.

You also forgot to mention this EE.

The name of Caesar's mother is bright eyes, thats what they call Charlton Hestons character in the original.
They named the Orangutan Maurice, because the actor that played doctor Zaius' name was Maurice, and he was an orangutan.

Aside from what you mentioned, those were the only other things I found.

And Danny, indeed sir, I will be riding shotgun!  :cheers:
