Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Mr. The Edge goes to Washington

Last night, the wife and I are watching TV when we see a film trailer with obvious CG chimps. They look like crap. "Looks like Planet of the Apes." my wife says. Before I say anything the title appears and she starts cussing. I am thinking to myself, "Damn! There's a movie that nobody wanted."

So, CG apes, a "Rise of" title, and a headscratcher of a reason why this movie exists.

    Probably the thing that most bemuses me about it is that they seem to be trying to pitch it as a serious sci-fi thriller.

    Seriously, what drooling moron of an exec thought that shit was going to fly?

    I especially hate the title. Rise of... Rise seems to be the mark of bad movies lately. Rise of the Sliver Surfer, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. Rise has become the new Hollywood buzz word.

    I hate movies that enjoy telling humans how much we suck.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    Oh, I saw that trailer. I had pretty much the same reaction.

    Why does this movie need to exist?  The Tim Burton film bombed and no one cared about it. So, is this a prequel to that? Or a reboot? What is this supposed to be?

    Well, I guess the only way to find out is to go watch it.

    >Why does this exist?

    Nostalgia for the film series as a whole.

    By George, Counterclock! You're brilliant! Very sound reasoning! I shall wait till it goes to the one dollar theater then and see if you are correct. I'll be back in a few weeks.
