on another note, I did find it a little weird that a neighbor that was so OTT temperamental and high strung as the neighbor would have the patience to be a pilot.

SPOILERS Y'ALL
you mean the 1st time he spoke or the time he gets all cozy in james franco's ear and is like 'naw, dude, i'm home'?
i guess they _had_ to show him talking, right, to set up talking monkeys in future installments.
but, chimp physiognomy doesn't allow for forming the kinds of sounds humans form, no? it would take 100,000s of years of evolution if not much more for that to happen.

I dug this - it actually felt too short. And yes, plaussibility be damned, the "NO!" moment was the best thing I've seen in a multiplex in some time. It's been a long time since I heard a multiplex audience go that quiet.

People laughed in my viewing, though about twenty percent of the crowd had cell phones out during the entire thing. Douches.

and yes the effects are stunning; all movies w/ even vaguely humanoid CGI creatures should go with motion-capture. always. I'm not sure how much credit should go to Serkis or to the animators, but, wow.

Didn't really like this...besides one of those revelatory "oh look what they can do with CGI now" moments (now less revelatory than they used to be) there wasn't much that wasn't familiar from half a dozen fear-of-technology don't-play-god humans-are-the-real-animals blockbusters.
Followed up RotPotA by watching Project Nim, which was thematically similar but far more entertaining.
― Can't Stop the Rop (seandalai), Sunday, 14 August 2011 11:36 (twelve years ago) link
see, i liked that they wisely played down the scientific hubris angle in favor of making it a more personal story

the trailer for this makes it look a lot dumber/campier than it actually is
I love that it was able to play the story straight without getting too self-important, and Caesar was awesome, they were able to pull off so much only having his facial expressions to work with, which isn't really easy for CGI
― frogbs, Sunday, 14 August 2011 15:11 (twelve years ago) link
These actors’ symbiosis gives substance to the film’s satirical proposition on evolution—the naturalness of Rodman's multiculti romance with veterinarian Frieda Pinto as well as with Caesar; the dangerous similarity of Rodman's hubris and his boss David Oyelowo’s greed. (“You make history, I make money!”)

Same thing happened here, there was a pretty obvious callback to the original movie that got people laughing and cheering a bit, so yeah it was pretty stunning how dead silent everything got after that. I figured they were kind of owed something ridiculous and powerful like that since they managed to play everything so straight until that point.
― frogbs, Monday, 15 August 2011 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
this was great. been so long since i've seen a really great summer/blockbuster type of movie i forgot how fun they can be.
and yeah the NO moment was pretty awesome--i found myself actually kind of moved by the revolutionary angle of the plot. and the gorilla's death (shades of King Kong) was actually really moving as well.
The final battle was especially well done, to the point you were truly actively afraid for the life of every single ape (at least I was). and I liked that they were trying to get OUT of the city and into the wilderness, and that this was the geography of the battle.
