I loved the film. It didn't any plushy gushy romance scene in it that was thrown in for no reason. It didn't overly curse. The only thing i didn't like was Malfoy stealing that lovely quote from the originals.
But in that same scene...
Spoiler:
The point at which Caeser Grabs his arm and Shouts NOOOOOOOO! for the first time, was awesome. Everyone in the cinema was sat there like . It was a good film, and i like how they tied it into the Planet of the Apes, with the rocket going to mars in the middle of the film, everyone dying in the end of it, and then leaving it open for the original
So Dakkites, your opinions?

I liked it quite a bit. The movie looked really good too, way better than The Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, which is similar is some ways. I really liked how the:

virus explained how the apes got smarter and humans were killed off by it as well
I agree that while the NOOOOO! was awesome and made everyone gasp, the ending when he said 'Ceaser is home' was kind of cheesy and too clearly said. The sort of growling way he spoke the first time was shocking and sort of scary, whereas the ending made him look like ET.

No. Doesn't help that one guy was a total tool. He got what he had coming. Viva la revolution!

"As I looked into its dead black eyes, I saw the terrible sentinence it had in place of a soul. Behind that was the steel will of its leader. Further still I could feel its primogenitor coldly assessing me from the void. And looking back from the deepest recesses of the aliens mind I perceived what I can describe only as an immortal hunger.
We can slay the tyranids on our worlds, blast their fleets from space, grind their armies to torn and ruined fragments. But their hunger? That is beyond our ability to slay."

Yes, he played Dodge Landon (named after the other two astronauts in the originals ). Tom Felton, a man getting dangerously close to being typecast in the role of a certain feminine hygiene product (and the bag it came in) in every film he's in.
It is my fave film of the summer so far, really really creepy in places and dipping too far into the uncanny valley. As they say, no-one likes a smart monkey.
On the subject of that (as the one I saw was a DVD rip) when Caesar and Maurice are signing do they refer to the other Apes as "monkeys" or "apes"? I'm leaning towards it being a bad translation but a part of me thinks it may be a neat in universe nod to it being some kind of racist remark amongst the Apes.

I believe it's apes, as Maurice signs something along the lines of 'Apes stupid' at one point.
