It's a reboot.

Can you explain the difference to me? As far as I can tell, it's the same story, but remade for this time frame.

This movie is a prequel, it's definitely not a remake.

Okay, was thinking of Conquest of the ... as was brought up earlier. Similar, but different.

From the trailers, it looks incredibly [censored] stupid.

I'll agree entirely on that point. I think this is one of most extreme examples of a movie that does not go well with a trailer. It looks amazingly stupid unless they spoiled the entire plot for you in it, and they can't do that. Therefore, most people are left thinking the wrong thing. I know my first reaction to seeing the trailer was basically "Oh my god, that is the dumbest idea for a movie I've seen since Freddy vs. Jason, who the hell WROTE this?"

Upon spoiling the plot for myself, I now actually want to watch this. A complete 180. This movie's trailer is [censored], plain as.

One question, where the [censored] did San Francisco get an army of monkeys? In the trailer there is a [censored] ton of monkeys and I cannot for one second believe that the lab had that many.

There's not an army. There's an ape sanctuary, a zoo, and the research apes.

Yeah, I'm sure the US military and all the armed civilians in the Bay Area (population 6 million) would just cave to what few apes there are in the region. What a ridiculous premise. Anyway, playing along with the premise

Spoiler

Just give the drug that made the apes super intelligent to Humans (which already have a larger brain) and suddenly you shoot past the apes in intelligence again. Evolution and history has shown the bigger brain wins.

Spoiler

The drug kills humans.

Okay, but if apes atttack what happens when the US army deploys a Gunship, bye bye apes. It's just not possible. Plus thier hands would be too big to use human guns.

Spoiler

The apes get into the forest, and I'm assuming they can hide from helicopters in said forest.

From the trailers, it looks incredibly [censored] stupid. Which means it still might be entertaining. But regardless, I have a feeling the trailers showed the best parts, and that the majority of the film is just a bunch of worthless technobabble BS that anyone with a high school education of science would know makes no damn sense.

Now here your just plain wrong.

Spoiler

The story revolves around Caesar and his character development.

I loved the trailers by the way. :teehee:

Going to be watching it tomorrow, I've been waiting for it since the teaser first showed up!

I watched the 2001 movie a few days ago (it was alright), I then watched the original (so much better, highly recommended) in preparation for this movie! Unfortunately I didn't get the book.

I plan on seeing this at the weekend if I can get a group to come with, so is it actually good, ok or svcky ?

Seen it yesterday. It was a good film, that's for sure. More about characters than CGI, which was pretty good after all. Do not want to know what the film is like IN THREEEE DEEEE though. Might ruin everything, from what I heard.

Ha, I thought I was the only one who saw the 2001 remake.

I thought the trailer looked extremely stupid. Then I was sort of forced to see the movie. It was way better than I expected, loved all of the references to the original. Hope the sequel will be just as good!
