I remember seeing this film when it came out at the cinema. Since I recently watched the sequel to this, I watched this film when it showed on television today.
One of my favourite things about this film was Caesar’s relationship with his human family. There were some really sweet moments in this film and I felt James Franco in particular did quite a good job in the character he played.
It’s not too far of a stretch that human experiments would cause potential destruction of the world. That’s probably already happening now.
I recognised some of the apes from the sequel that I didn’t remember seeing the first time I watched this film. It was good to see the characters – and I felt the effects worked well enough to give the apes their own personality.
This was a good build-up to apes running Earth. I’m still curious to see how things develop so completely that humans are seen as little more than cattle in the original films.
