I’ve seen this film and it’s fantastic. As a huge fan of all (even somewhat of the Tim Burton version) “Planet of the Apes” movies, I really dug this new one. It holds true to the mythology and imagination created by these films, while at the same time, pay homage to its source.

One of the reasons why this new movie is so effective is the amazing special effects by WETA, who also did the motion capture work of “The Lord of the Rings”, Peter Jackson’s “King Kong” and “Avatar”. All of this capped off by the spectacular and extremely heartfelt performance by Andy Serkis, who play Gollum and King Kong. Serkis displays a memorable performance as Caesar, the first ape to have developed the skills to uprise and lead a rebellion against humans.

All I really need to say is watch this video and watch this movie when it hit theaters on August 5th. You won’t get a better, heartfelt movie this summer.
