There may have been 3 or 4 films in my life that I have watched on double-speed just to get through, and this is one of them. I'm a serious fan of sci-fi, but this is absolute bs-fi.

The story and characters, the developments, are every bit as cliche as they could be. Story development doesn't even try to be rational. From the overnight miracle drug which also teaches the apes overnight years worth of learning, to the "hollywood villain" drug company CEO and shelter workers. To the whole hollywood-silly way they worked, to the hollywood-cliche sets and props, everything was overwhelmingly tasteless. Today, even in early days of AI era in 2024, if you ask ChatGPT to write a scenario for this film and direct it, it would probably do a better job.
