I remember watching bits and pieces of the endless marathons
of all the Planet of the Apes movies on AMC when I was kid. The movies got
stranger and stranger and I quickly lost interest. This film brings the
interest back. A great origin story that could be believable. I was hesitant
when I first heard about the film because who needs another Planet of the Apes
film, especially one starring the over-hyped James Franco, but after the first
trailers were released, I was interested. What really makes this film work are
the nods to the other films in the series, giving it a nostalgic feel. So
enjoyable on a hot August night.
