I stand corrected. :cheers:
TOK:
I didn't even want to look at this thread until after I saw the movie, which I went and saw this weekend. I had some huge issues about how it would be going in...
... because I'm sick of the "reboot" idea, and I also knew that if it did mesh up with the original movie, it would have to end with the extermination of mankind in a war (my assumption based on the original) and I didn't think the movie would go there.
The fact that it didn't end with a war, but then alluded to the extermination of mankind via virus was very clever.
Not sure why they did it 4 minutes into the credits, but I'm glad they did it. I almost walked out disappointed in the ending because of the way they handled it.
Thought the movie was a little slow getting started, but not boring. Its refreshing to see smart sci-fi that isn't ponderous. Really liked it, though the slow build up might make it a little tedious for repeat viewings.

They named the Orangutan Maurice, because the actor that played doctor Zaius' name was Maurice, and he was an orangutan.

And one named "Cornelia" (referencing Cornelius).
Movie wasn't too bad. The CG got better as it went. The early chimp scenes were too acrobatic, chimp faces too expressive, and the baby chimp too cartoony. Those things stood out for me, but they almost nailed it.
Was fun to see Drako do an American accent (or is he faking a Brittish one in the Potter series?)
Chimps running through plate glass windows = Stupid.
30 Chimps escaping a shelter and multiplying into 300 instantly was stupid (even with the addition of zoo escapees, it wasn't anywhere near the number they showed in that aerial shot on the mountain).

Yeah youre right, the baby chimp did look really out of place, I think that was the only one that I was like "dude. cmon".
haha regarding the amount of apes, I didnt even really realize that, I was too caught up in the action. Obviously didnt mind it. :lol
DaOld Man:
I agree. I didnt notice the apes being so numerous in the movie, but come to think of it, you are right. Lets hope they tweak out these little nuances in the next movie.
