not yet but it looks worth a watch.

Im sure its the same basic story as one of the older movies, 'Conquest of the planet of the apes'?
I kinda vaguely remember Caesar leading a revolt against us pesky humans in that one too. Although, this version looks much better ;-)

Reviews I've seen so for seem good. Apparently you have to stay till after the credits because something crops up which ties up some loose ends.

Off to see it this week all being well. Will be interesting to see how it is compared to the original films.

GREAT film.

Well worth seeing. Can't really find any negatives to be honest. It does a decent job of merging into the original story lines from the first lot of films.

Highly recommended.

Trust me, it has nothing to do with $$$. The last 3 times I have been to a theater it has almost come to blows. It is not enjoyable in the least for me to go to a theater anywhere near me. I can not handle the cell phones, the talking, the attitudes and being the good samaritan that I am I feel it is my civic duty to teach these offenders respect.

I had a similar experience with this recent visit. Sat there wondering how on earth people cannot manage to remain tight lipped for the duration of a film. its like they can't cope with not hearing the sound of their own voice :roll:

Overall it didn't spoil the film but it could have.
