Awful awful.

I shall start with the good. The CGI was fantastic and James Franco is a great actor. That is where it ends.

I wasn't expecting to see gritty realism but even when it comes to a film such as this there has to be boundaries. For a start the storyline was weak. The ending was only an ending because it had credits after it. There was nothing conclusive about the final scenes. Without wanting to give too much away, the apes had an answer for everything which means the film could have gone on forever! It was like a very bad superhero/romantic/action/sci fi thing? From my point of view a combination of these genres does not make for a good film!

To sum up don't go if you want to be gripped. If you want a mindless, ridiculous film then perhaps consider.
