I guess as a new take on the franchise this is not a horrible flick.

But it's not reflective of the original classic story.

In this case men develop an alzheimer drug that makes apes intelligent.

It would be a good storyline apart from Planet of the Apes, but if you area fan of the '69 film, it makes no sense.

Why not make a good film that stands on it's own instead of a flick that confuses the original franchise that spanned film,m, TV and freaking cartoons?

Abundant CGI is decent, but very apparent on DVD.

Ceaser BTW get s smart way too fast. And is way too filled with arrogant confusion way too quickly. Just not all that believable.
