You didn't copyright that shit ?

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

So they jack up the mental capacity of a lab animal for science to repair brain damage and it turns around to destroy them. They took an old film franchise and remade Deep Blue Sea.

Now if SLJ gets his head ripped off by a monkey then I'll agree

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

"They ate me! A fucking gorilla ate me! DRINK BITCH!"

[I. Hustle]

Mmmmm-Mmmmm bitch!

[CuckingFunt]

I hate every ape I see. From chimpan-a to chimpanzee.

[ManuBalboa]

I know James Franco is the golden boy at the moment, but actors should start becoming hazed for even attempting to leach off once great franchises. I heard they are going to remake the 3 stooges looomao, enough already Hollywood.

[BlackSwordsMan]

this movie was in the works last year before franco got famous

[El Chorizo]

Looks pretty good to me.

[Buddy Holly]

This movie would be 10x better if Tim Burton directed and it starred Marky Mark.

[Sisk]

Looks pretty good. Interested to see more.

[MannyIsGod]

At the risk of setting up easy jokes, I think that movie looks pretty bad ass.

[mingus]

it looks pretty cool. lost count of how many times i've said that about a trailer though.

as someone brought up, it's basically deep blue sea with apes. deep blue sea was bad ass though, bad ass for how bad it was, but still bad ass.

[CubanSucks]

:lmao people, are you serious? First off the cgi monkeys look just as goofy as Jumanji. I also love how there's all these revolutionary scientists in their 20s. And of course there's the black guy who's always obviously bitter about something like the experiment or cure or whatever and who obviously dies a very dramatic way. And the very end of the trailer was just more annoying than funny with the dramatic look chimp, fuckin stupid








And I'm not the one to get all pissy about all these sequels, prequels, remakes, and adaptations that are flooding the theaters the past decade, but this just looks horrible. And I honestly watched the trailer really hoping to take it seriously

[Stringer_Bell]

I liked this movie better when it was called "Congo"

icu59hembVk

If you think about it, they're basically spiritually connected. Jurrasic Park took place in the jungle, the second ended up in the city. Congo was set in - the Congo, and the sequel is set in the city! OMG copy cats!!!!

[mojorizen7]

Burtons remake was shit....just wanted to get that outta the way.

This has a chance....its sort of a take off the 4th film of the original POTA "Conquest of the planet of the apes."

Still,I'm skeptical...hopefully its not pure garbage.

[DoubtingThomas]

Looks interesting enough and I didn't think the last one was that bad.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I hate every ape I see. From chimpan-a to chimpanzee.

Bite your tongue!

[Fabbs]

None of them have touched 1968s original with Chuck Heston, Maurice Evans, Kim Hunter etc.

Freaking Marky Mark. :nope

[JoeChalupa]

I actually like Marky Mark as an actor.

[PakiDan]

CGI has ruined cinema. I mourn the passing of the true FX wizards.

[jjktkk]

Looks pretty good to me.

This.

[JoeChalupa]

Will actors soon become obsolete too?

[k_nguyen93]

Silly name. That being said Freida Pinto is in it!

[ohmwrecker]

I actually like Marky Mark as an actor.

He is a severely limited actor.

[JoeChalupa]

He is a severely limited actor.

Oscar nominated actor too. Like him in the Italian Job, The shootist, Planet of the Apes, that movie about the brothers, the Boxer. But that is just me.

forgot The Departed

[4>0rings]

CGI looks like shit, they should of done better for the sake of the franchise name, other than that I'd see it.

[JoeChalupa]

forgot The Departed

:tu and that movie about the Philadelphia Eagles and making the team as a walk on.

[DMC]

I thought I saw the trailer for it last night. Turned out to be the starting lineup for Miami.

[jeebus]

:lol those monkeys would get their asses kicked no matter how smart they are. I'm really hoping they have some chimps get into a flight suit, steal some jets and do some dogfighting with the humans. Hi GI Joe movie!

[Nathan Explosion]

Two things. One, that trailer was in the same style as Transformers. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Secondly, they may be smart apes, but they're unarmed apes. If they pose that big of a threat, bomb the shit out of them and sacrifice a few humans to wipe the smart apes off the face of the planet. Or, if you don't want to be that drastic, just roll in the military (not National Guard) and just open fire on every ape you see. They have sticks and monkey shit, and we have tanks, rocket launchers and automatic weapons.

How do we lose?

Nobody holds a candle to this guy IMO. He brought SFX out of the stone age with nothing but a camera and pure genius innovation.

Getting good reviews. Might catch it on a matinee this weekend.

Hopefully no apes go. They get loud in the theater.

Looks entertaining. Red Box for sure.

when you say apes, are you talking about black people?

fucking racist beaner

[Trainwreck2100]

i also hate it when they yell at the screen and bring in their fried chicken from home




wait what?

I want this answered in spoilers from whoever sees this first. I have absolutely no desire to see this movie but I am extremely curious as to how they just roll over humans

[4>0rings]

It shows in the previews they can use some weapons.

[Trainwreck2100]

it made sense in heston's time but now we got fucking f-15's and uav's that can kill monkey's from anywhere

[BlackSwordsMan]

We don't bomb places near kids. Sorry.

[Trainwreck2100]

We don't bomb places near kids. Sorry.

You know what else don't make sense, if they are different species how do all the monkey's speak the same language? Their brains should be wired differently

[BlackSwordsMan]

alpha male dominance tbh when one pack of gorillas asserts itself as the dominate species the rest will follow

[BlackSwordsMan]

does the ROTPOTA make planet of the apes with mark whalberg a plot hole? why would they take apes into space if they're hostile?

[BlackSwordsMan]

or khat -- it's how they controlled the somali monkeys

[Creepn]

:td

Blackswords you suck. If you're gonna be racist, at least make it funny just in case you get banned.

[BlackSwordsMan]

How am I being racist you stupid shithead? This is a thread about apes your one track mind led you believe oh look they're talking about black people. Maybe you're the racist

Geez you must be as dumb as a monkey if you expect me to believe that. I bet you even fling your poo with your weird ass.

[BlackSwordsMan]

today is your boy obama's birthday how did you celebrate

[mFFL03]

80% on rottentomatoes...usually levels out +/- 5% after first couple of weeks...pretty strong opening. Still not going to see it BECAUSE they ran so many damn commercials.

[Bill_Brasky]

Looked dumb.

[benefactor]

Saw it today. Not mindblowing, but it was good. The CG was better than the trailers and it laid nice groundwork for sequels. There were many reviews that said the apes were better actors than the humans...this is true. Franco was just ok. If they do the sequels right it could wind up being a quality reboot.

I'm gonna see it next week. I think it would be awesome to see it from the beginning. I wonder if they would do a slow evolution or a speedy one.

[CharlieMac]

The movie was way better than i thought it would be. Gollum was really fucking good too.

my nigga Andy Serkis with the goods




























(haven't seen this movie and have absolutely no desire)

[tlongII]

I can't imagine this being any good. Just a fucking stupid premise.

[ManuBalboa]

my nigga Andy Serkis with the goods

Word. Good to see Serkis getting lots of hollywood play now. I was watching a preview thing for Planet of the Apes and Franco was complementing Serkis. Franco went on to say this type of cgi-acting hybrid stuff had never been done before....da fuk? lol

[MannyIsGod]

Serkis was bad ass. Franco is just ok because his part is not too big. Solid movie. Can't see any way to make good sequels, though.

[Sisk]

Still not going to see it BECAUSE they ran so many damn commercials.

What a stupid fucking reason not to see a movie.


It was good. Not great, but I enjoyed it. The CGI was incredibly good.

[Sisk]

Can't see any way to make good sequels, though.

Did you not wait after the movie? After a few names are mentioned there's about a 1-2 minute scene.

[MannyIsGod]

Oh no - I didn't. Guess I'll have to catch it on the bluray. FML.

[MannyIsGod]

Getting kind of sick of post credit scenes, tbh. Assholes are making me wait through all these damn pointless credits to see shit.

[InK]

Movie was a lot better then expected, but if your looking for plot holes or are allergic to them you are gonna hate some of the things that happen.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah - this is a good point. You pretty much better suspend disbelief (that should go without saying for this type of movie but w/e) on a lot of things.

[CubanSucks]

my friend was telling me about a silly scene where Caesar was fully communicating with a circus monkey just cause he also knew sign language. WTF? That was his only big complaint he said

[MannyIsGod]

That was actually fairly believable for me, tbh. I don't see why two different apes wouldn't be able to communicate if they both knew the same language. Way bigger scientific holes than that.

[DPG21920]

Manny, I'm not trying to be a wise guy when I say this, but does your theater show that little kid promo for a children's hospital before movies (like a preview) with the little kid named Adriane where he is doing all these impersonations?

[Sisk]

It's not through all of them, but it is after a minute or two. The only reason I caught it is I saw the movie with someone who had seen it before. I would've missed it otherwise.

[MannyIsGod]

Huh? Not that I know of?

[DPG21920]

Well the reason I asked is because the little kid looks like you and I always laugh.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

Find it on youtube, IMO.

[koriwhat]

damn good movie!

[DPG21920]

:lol

I tried. I could not find it at the moment, but I will.

[MannyIsGod]

So I was able to watch the final scene mentioned above online. Do not believe this was a setup for sequels, to be honest. It does however, make an excellent case for tying in how the apes overcome humans and why they are primitive in the first movie.

Pretty damn brilliant scene, actually.

[TheMACHINE]

awesome movie. Ceasar needs to win an Academy Award.

[TheMACHINE]

lol at the people who left the movie before 30 seconds into the credits. fucking anxious to beat traffic or something? lol

IT was set up for sequels.. The director is already talking about it.. They want to show the transition of how the apes completely took over the planet

http://filmonic.com/rise-of-the-planet-apes-sequel

you could start this story again eight years from where we left off, the next generation of apes, those that have come from our protagonists, perhaps going in to a conflict with humans and showing real fear, in the same way as going into war for young soldiers in this day and age, telling their story. Or how apes are taking over cities, and being moved into human environments and having to interact with them and deal with things that are part of our culture and understand and evolve through them. Spies that are in the employ of the apes,

[MannyIsGod]

Thats interesting. Not sure how that scene promotes sequels though. It was obviously meant to show how they were going to spread the plauge which I felt was going to be the virtual end of mankind. Basically, the apes didn't have to fight them to take over the world. I guess I shouldn't be surprised the director wants to make sequels though. Its a shame because the movie would be really good just left alone as a lead in to the other films.

Let me know what you think:

[ManuBalboa]

When the credits started, I whispered to my gf "that virus is going to end up wiping out 95% of humanity"...then 20 seconds later the last scene came up lulz.

I just took the very last scene as summing up what happens to humanity for the people that haven't seen the originals. I loved this movie. It makes me want to watch the originals again now.

[mojorizen7]

Finally watched this on BRD on my home theatre.
8/10 and a worthy reboot IMO. I hope there are more POTA films to follow that are done this way.
I would have preferred a more brutally graphic realistic approach to apes pummeling cops on a bridge....not enough blood, but thats the game with film ratings these days(PG-13 is preferred by movie studio's vs R).

So many references to the original '68 classic in this film too...i liked that.
Looking forward to a sequel.

[Spurminator]

Planet of the Apes marathon on HBO Family right now if anyone is interested.
