Did you see it? What do you think? Is it lived up to the hype? And do the apes talk?

All I've seen from it is the countless adverts whenever I download something from the Nexus . Would be interesting to know if it's any good

I want to see it, seen a few clips on io9 and it looks good.

I'll wait for cable on-demand.
About the only thing I'm interested in is the scene that takes place on the Golden Gate Bridge. I love seeing local (to me) areas/landmarks used in films. But never been a big PotA's fan.

Altho "You damn dirty ape!" is a classic film line. hehe

I can't take take it the least bit seriously.The entire time I watch preview for it I am saying in my head, how would we lose to a bunch of apes.

They had pointy sticks duh.

:P Don't judge a book by its cover and don't judge a movie by its trailer. Just watch it and you will understand.

Because their bigger, stronger, faster, more agile and with that chemical they excel past our own interlect ?

Intelligence doesn't help if you have no experience. A young child can have more brainpower than a dog or an elephant or a chimp, but if you teach the animals some basic calculus and you don't teach the child some basic calculus then the less intelligent animals will of course do better when it comes to math problems.

All I want to say is that people are really jumping to conclusions just based off of the trailer, how the humans are defeated actually makes a lot of sense in the movie.

Well the leader watches and lived with humans so he knows what hes doing and the rest follow his orders I assume.

Im just coming up with a theory until I get a group to come with me to see it
Every time Im in the cinema and the advert comes on Im like, "GO SEE! This is our next film!" and I still intent on doing it :biggrin:

I saw a trailer for this when I went to see Bridesmaids. My family and I were crying with laughter at the absurdity of it. I will not be seeing this film except in an intoxicated, ironic capacity.

Your like 40 and prefer the originals or just dont like any of them ?
Whats so absurd about a magic drug to cure oldtimers which made chimps super smart

I'm seventeen. I like things that are good.

I guess you haven't seen the Battleship trailer which I thought was the Total Recall remake trailer.

I have now.

That looks bad too.

Surely there isn't enough popcorn in the world to keep cinema goers entertained throughout all these crappy flicks?

Its called a gun, you shoot chimp its dead. It doesn't matter if it has got the smarts.

=.= You people tempt me towards spoilers. But alas my lips are sealed, just know that it makes sense how the humans get destroyed in the movie, but you have to have seen it to understand it

I guess I'm the only one who saw Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.

Can you post the spoilers inside a spoiler tag? I have zero interest in spending any money (and thereby giving Hollywood the impression that they should make more of these Ape films) on this film, but you have teased enough to peak my interest in knowing how 3 dozen gorillas could take down 6 billion humans.

That works if you have a loaded gun on you all the time and don't mind murdering chimps who may or may not want to harm you.
I don't think it's absurd that super intelligent apes would overthrow us, the fact you find it absurd is a card in their favor. Imagine calling in backup because a bunch of gorillas are shooting at you. The time spent scrambling from just how bizarre the whole deal is could be enough time to get some more apes to increase your ranks. That's the problem I have, though, is that there cannot be enough apes to kill or capture six billion humans. Each ape would need to kill like a million people, which is insane. Plus, most apes are only found in Africa so they'd have to organize there and then make their push. I'm assuming in this movie they experiment with apes in a first world country, which would require that ape to either flee to Africa or call in his buddies - which, if their intelligence is due to a drug, would mean he couldn't perform the latter.
I guess I'll have to watch the movie.

And the lack to reproduce super intelligent apes naturally.

I suppose that should be okay, remember though that a spoiler tag is there for a reason, if anyone cares do not click on it.

Gotta agree here. I just spoiled it for myself (I don't mind spoilers) and they did indeed come up with a rather unique way to allow the apes to "take over", per say. I may watch it when it comes out on DVD.

I'm sure they'd just shoot their young up with the chemical and produce it accordingly. That is strange to think about...Giving birth to what you used to be and comparing it to how you are now. It'd be like glimpsing into the past ( before the destroy all humans bit ). Unless you mean the drug they give the apes makes them sterile?

Well, that story actually makes sense. I still won't see the movie though unless it happens to be on TV and I have absolutely nothing better to do.
