Rise of the Planet of the Apes
The trailer for the reboot movie of Rise of the Planet of the Apes has hit the intertubes – and there’s some serious monkey business going on. I quite like the idea that the apes’ IQ boost came as an unexpected byproduct of genetic engineered medical testing for Alzheimers-like diseases… a clever detail.
Let the revolt come about.
First thought is, oh no… Take ya stinking paws off me Planet of the Apes, ya damned dirty Hollywood!
But then I saw the trailer — and that is one creepily brilliant effort. Given that the purpose of a two minute trailer is to get one to want to see the damn two hour movie, then mission accomplished.
