A fairly good reboot of the "Planet of the Apes" franchise, though it does take away from the original films' mythology of the apes' origins.

This film does not so much elicit a response from the viewer as prescribes one. What's really annoying is feeling betrayed by your body while watching it. So, CGI apes, extreme caricature (cruelty embodied in the animal keeper, greed in the guy running the corporation) all adds up to a pretty bland experience. From the minute the apes escape it's a standard disaster flick. 2.5 stars

Andy Serkis is the man. This is the special effects event of the year. Oh, did I mention the excellent character development and wonderful pacing?

Immensely watchable, this intelligently paced and knowing action-drama uses its material well, its actors even better and its visual effects - most of them - excellently to produce the almost perfect popcorn piece. With a social conscience that doesn't totally smack the viewers over the head this is perhaps the best mainstream movie to come from Hollywood in 2011.
