It was a beautiful letdown. I'm not even sure where to start here; the CGI was far from spectacular. Yeh, the apes looked fantastically realistic in the previews, and at points in the movie, but the animatics lacked. It was very obvious to pick out odd movements, and almost a resistance to gravity at times. So why is there so much fuss about the cartoon apes? I'm not sure...but on a positive note, the man behind Ceasar, Andy Serkis deserves an honorable mention for his contributions as well as many other cast members. The film was acted terrifically which added a single element of realism to cope for digital dishonor. I do wish the characters were more developed, some seemed very shallow even for a somewhat faced-paced movie. Anyway, before this turns into a ramble, I'm going to conclude it to this, don't go in expecting to be blown away.
