    Just came back from watching POTA!

    Well I went to the 2:40 show and the theatre was packed, so if this is any indication of the weekend numbers I think it will do very well! Even though I am not a huge fan of CGI, especially since I come from a generation of POTA movies past, I have to say it worked well here. This is actually a movie I would have liked to see done in 3D, apes swinging thru the trees coming right at you would have been pretty cool. I don't think any one will be disappointed, even the true POTA fans........CEASER IS HOME!

            I saw it yesterday too. The 5 o'clock show was packed which I didn't expect. I really enjoyed it. I didn't think I would care for a cgi ape but I was wrong.

                I went today to a 2 o'clock show and it was packed as well. First time I ever went to an early showing of a movie and found the theater packed. It was excellent, highly recommended.

                  I posted in the science fiction thread but I saw it last night at the drivein as a double feature with captain America. the lot was full. Movie was fantastic. really well done. it did not feel like a POTA movie until maybe the end but in and of it self was just a really good movie. i even told my wife she needs to go see it as she would really like it just for the story and acting involved. they really did a superb job with this and I hope they continue as a new series, even if only loosely leading into the original 1968 movie. they definately dropped lots of clues and hints as to that happening

                    MIB41 and I went to see ROTPOTA this afternoon and it knocked our socks off! Finally, a thinking science-fiction movie that actually has genuine acting, action and emotion. I'm still a little too brain-blasted by the actual shininess of the movie to write a decent review, but I can say, unequivocally, that it may be the BEST movie I saw all summer (sorry Norse Gods, Green Lanterns and Super Soldiers). Its story and characterizations are spot on, WETA can do ANYTHING [at this point, THE HOBBIT is going to be so damn spectacular EFX-wise it's gonna make other movies blush] and it makes the 2001 POTA debacle look like a steaming pile of ape feces...

                    I will attempt a better review after I've slept on it and I can wrap my head around it better.

                      I thought this movie was great! My 10 year-old daughter and I spent the first part of the summer watching all of the movies. We then moved on the the TV series which I really enjoyed. My daughter also liked the new movie a lot.

                            Haven't seen the movie yet, but a guy I work with just saw it last night, was very impressed.. I have to say, besides the first film, the 1974 TV show's always been my favorite.
