Check it out.

Could be good. At least it looks like they're taking it seriously.

We'll see...

This might work.

I have mixed feelings about this kind of prequel, though.

Looks pretty good. The apes look creepy, but very realistic as well. I could see this prequel working.

Yessssssss.

I thought the ape at the very end was going to speak!

If anything this is a remake of the Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. Where the son of the murdered time traveling apes is the smartest ape on the planet and starts an uprising of lab apes.

Yeah, this is basically a remake not a prequel. The original title of this project was Caesar who was the smart ape from Conquest.

The effects looked really good with the apes.

If this is anything like the horrible remake I had to endure for 2 hours in the theater I'll pass.

I imagine, the movie might end with the ape speaking which will then lead into a sequel if the movie makes any money.

It has my attention. Not completely sold yet as I think it might be a little slow, but hopefully the apes increased intelligence happens quickly and the action picks up. Think I'll check it out though.

This actually looks solid.

But goddamn.....it's prolly gonna be an epic flop at the box office.

Besides hardcore nerds and POTA fans I just don't see who this movie appeals to.

The action looks meh, and I don't think people will fill the theater to watch CGI apes running around modern day san francisco.

I like Franco but he isn't gonna sell tickets.

And the studio is Fox, whose reputation speaks for itself.

I may see it if it gets good reviews, but I just can't see this thing making money.

It looks good for what it is, but the entire Planet of the Apes concept has never interested me much.

You mean the same Fox that put out by far the biggest box office hit in movie history?

Your argument just pwned your logic.

Wow...amazing trailer. That shite creeped me out. I fully expected to hate it, I'm not a Planet of the Apes guy.

Trailer did creep me out a little bit with the apes in the real world and everything. But it definitely looks interesting.

I hope it's cool all the way thru, and doesnt implode into CGI like "I am Legend" did.

Big fricking surprise. Considering the number of movies you will pass on you must watch 1 or 2 films a year tops. I bet you suck the life out of any room you walk in to.
