    I expected to like this but was not prepared for the impact it would have. One of the greatest and most moving films I've ever seen. Totally floored.

    Y pensar que si le hubiese dado la gana, Tim Burton también podría haber hecho esto y no lo que hizo -.-

    Well made. Good direction, story, and CG. This movie really just made me feel sad most of the time.

    With "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," director, Rupert Wyatt, and company strike gold, putting together one of the best science fiction, special effects-based films of the decade. Combining a compelling story and tapping into a beloved mythology, the film is narratively engrossing, grown up, and respectful of what came before it.

    While existing perfectly well as a stand-alone film, this prequel to 1968's "Planet of the Apes" is exceptionally well made. It boasts exemplary special effects, and the…

    Hopefully apes never get this smart :P. At first I was weary about them remaking the classic planet of the apes! But this turned out GREAT!
