Have I missed something here? This is a truly awful film. No plot,no character development, simplistic, disjointed and patronizing. The apes looked pretty but that was about it. This is quite possibly the worst film I have seen in years. Good performances by John Lithgow and Andy Serkis are the only positive things I can say about this horror show of a movie. I have given them each one star! I must admit that I don't normally write reviews but this movie is so awful I feel that I have to. A shameful piece of film making. The only thing emotional about the movie is raging disappointment. It could have and should have been so good. Great idea, poor execution.
