Hmmm... CGI this time. Interesting...
Is this going to be a remake of the 70's Planet of the Apes saga, or a re-imagining like the more recent one with Mike Wahlberg?
It better be more than just effects and visuals.
They need to forget about making the apes so realistic and concentrate on the STORY. Thats the reason I didnt like Tim Burton's PoA remake. The effects and the look of the apes and their movements was SUPERB, but the story totally sucked and made no sense at all. I dont like them concentrating on how good the apes look as much as the story. PoA is all about a causality loop and time travel, not just about the apes.

A serious Mr. Hewlett. Oh and btw, that chimp is entirely CGI

An interesting movie to look out for.
McKay sure took a beating.

Mckay getting his arse kicked was great! and I really enjoyed the CGI apes...honestly this "version" of the story makes more sense than the original did (although who can replace Ricardo Montalban?) and it fits in well with today's science hopes.
I agree...it makes more scientific sense. The original never addressed how the apes suddenly acquired the power of speech. Time passing would not do it. It makes sense that a captive ape which is genetically altered might accomplish that. Im looking forward to it.

I just watched it and it was surprisingly pretty good. I'd recommend it. They really did the whole transformation and beginnings pretty well although the human response was a bit unrealistic. But otherwise, I really enjoy the movies where you start to sympathize with the non-human characters who have little to no dialogue. To me, that just speaks to the powerful emotional aspect of the storytelling.
with DNA and it made more sense than spontanious evolution over one generation did. 
i want to see this!

I saw Hewlett in the trailer. He got slapped around pretty badly. Have yet to see the movie.

This movie is AWESOME!
OMG, real science fiction! This movie was AWESOME! Like Rac80 said, this one made much more sense than the original did, scientifically. I cant talk about that without spoiling it, so suffice it to say that this PotA is a MUST SEE, far surpassing the original set of movies, and it is obvious that all 5 movies (or more) will tell the saga all over again. If the quality of the science part of the fiction remains as good as it did in this movie, the rest of them will be BLOCKBUSTERS.

Yes, it was implied. But it still doesnt make sense scientifically speaking. A virus is not going to cause that type of a mutation unless there is an active restructuring of the simian brain that goes with it. This movie clearly addressed it. But you are right, it was implied in Conquest by Montalban's character explaining it to Caesar.

Watched Captain America instead of this the other day...probably a mistake.

Didn't "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" of the original series imply causality as the origin of taking apes? Basically, Cornelius and Zira were the Adam and Eve of the future ape race. They somehow came back through time, when the Earth exploded, in the capsule the astronauts originally arrived with in the future. They had a child and left the baby in a cage with a gorilla knowing they wouldn't make it. At the end of the movie, the baby chimp says, "Mama!".
