Rise of The Planet of Apes

Trust me, if I said more, it would spoil the whole movie.

Damnit... now I'm curious. Time to go info hunting!

i. hear. a. sound.

Good lord this looks dreadful.

With cannon shot and gun blast smash the alien. With laser beam and searing plasma scatter the alien to the stars.

I can't help but think this might defeat the purpose of the original film...

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.

I will think it would be a guilty pleasure for me. I won't have high expectations and Its obvious this probably be a flop and have negative reviews. Did anyone actually ask for this to be made? Does anyone even remember the remake of the first movie?

რატომ აკეთებს ერთი? ვინმეს კი ასეთი მუნჯი ოჯახის კომედიებისაგან, რომ როგორც ჩანს, გამოვიდეს ბევრი ამ დღეებში, როგორც ძველი ან ძაღლების ბატონი პოპერის ის პინგვინი?

Ինչու են անում երրորդը: Որեւէ մեկը նույնիսկ նման համր ընտանեկան կատակերգություն, որը կարծես թե դուրս գալ մեծ այս օրերին նման Հին շների կամ պարոն popper է պինգվինզ.

This looks highly predictable: Genetically engineered ape. Ape develops affection for someone and great intelligence. Loved one is hurt and ape gets angry. Media creates a firestorm. Ape gets put in ape jail with other apes. Ape then leads Ape revolution and creates Planet of the Apes

Whats up with all the negativity in this thread? I think it looks all right.

Not much has been revealed so far, and my interest would REALLY peak if they show them with firearms.

I saw the trailer for this with Harry Potter, and was rather amused to see Tom Felton make fun of the monkeys with pretty much the exact same tone of voice he used when Draco Malfoy made fun of "mudbloods".

Given that we're talking about a Planet of the Apes movie? I have no idea. I repeat, a PLANET. OF. THE. APES. movie. You're taking this seriously why?

So, when he gets in a scrape, he makes his escape, with the help of his friend, an ape named Ape?

And let us pray that come it may (As come it will for a' that)

It's funny that some people in this thread are shitting on this film already, even though it hasn't come out yet.

I just saw the new trailer. I learned that you never fuck with Dick Solomon or you pay the price.

I refuse to see this movie simply because nobody on the production team considered ditching that clunky name for the obvious, pithy, and vastly superior "Gorilla Warfare."

While the movie doesn't really excite me in the slightest, after watching the trailer a couple of times and playing a certain video game, I thought of a nickname for the film.

Ape Escape :The Movie

I seriously can't think of any clever joke.

I've seen this trailer twice in theaters. The first time it's not so bad, as while it already looks stupid, you don't realize just how stupid it is until the title card comes up.

The second time, though, it hurts to watch.

Also, what the hell is Tom Felton doing in this movie? I mean, I can understand James Franco – he doesn't have to be picky about starring in movies as long as he can still make things like 127 Hours – but Felton really ought to know better coming off of Harry Potter.

@Masterofchaos: The trailer is plenty evidence enough for the movie's stupidity. Besides, there are undertones to the idea that I don't quite like. It seems like the idea is "We can't let those apes get uppity or they'll try and revolt"... Just replace "apes" with any other underprivileged group and you'll get the picture.

Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.

The apes are getting back because they fucked with Dick Solomon.

I don't know who that is.

Lithgow's character from Third Rock From The Sun.

Perhaps the Ape-pocalypse is a portrayed as a just retribution for our sins, like Ameri- I mean, humanity getting curbstomped by the Na'vi in Avatar.

I have just a bit more hope for this movie than I do for Real Steel or whatever that movie that's basically the world's most elaborate showing of Rock-em-Sock-em-Robots.

It's not the most ridiculous apocalypse I've heard of, but it really does show that Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale when it comes to comparing the actual size of a threat to humanity. Unless the magic smart gas make the apes breed like rabbits and develop bulletproof skin, I think we can take them.

"When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all" Futurama, Godfellas

The original Planet of the Apes was ultimately a jab at our own human flaws and how the scenario of self-inflicted near-extinction of humans could become a reality.

Of course that was made during the Cold War when tensions were high between the two nuclear states of the US and Soviet Union.

Any remake made during this day and age with the same message would probably not have the impact it had during the Cold War.

So what well-meaning message does this film contain? Or is it simply eye candy?

Worlder: There are some things we shouldn't try to achieve?

Ugh.

Then this movie's pathetic.

Of course, this film is using the Frankenstein plot structure.

Although is it the book or the film that I don't know.

Trailer I saw during Captain America expanded on what I had seen. Looks slower paced then I had imagined.
