DaOld Man:
Just watched it today. I liked it, quite possibly the best in this new series.
I think the next one will be a remake of the original POTA (with Charlton Heston).
There are two characters who (names at least) are on the original POTA.
But it doesnt tie in with the ship carrying Taylor (Heston) traveling a thousand years into the future.
Based on these two characters ages, maybe 20 or so years.
wp34:
Cool.  I'm looking forward to seeing this one.
ark_ader:
Remakes, remakes why no funding for original stories?  There are thousand books in the library that would make a good movie.
Slippyblade:
Full agreement with Ark on this one.  Seriously, if you want a re-make...  do Starship Troopers.  Not like the original had anything to do with the book.  A remake would probably be way more accurate.  Maybe.  Hopefully...  ah, who am I kidding?
Howard_Casto:
If you actually watch these films, they have absolutely positively nothing to do with the original POTA movies except for the title.  The first one is a rather charming story about an adult son trying to save his father from alheizmer's disease and really just uses the apes as an excuse to tell the tale.  It's fantastic.  Now I'll gladly admit that each subsequent sequel is worse and they really need to stop now before they make the mistake Tim Burton did and walk on sacred ground, but they are undoubtedly their own story and are well worth a watch. 

And that's from a person who fundamentally hates remakes and reboots.
