Rise of the Planet of the Apes Review (Video)

And... I'm done! I thought this review, the last of seven, would be super easy because it's just me talking over still pictures, but it turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. Even though it's just pictures, I tried to make it visually interesting. Oh... and I'm posting it a day early (I had planned to post a new video each week, with this one going live on Sunday, August 7th.) on the off chance that somebody was on the fence about seeing it this weekend. Hopefully my review might convince people to either go see it or stay home... you'll have to go ahead and watch it to find out what I'm recommending. Hopefully I'll think of something Apes related to post tomorrow instead.

Anyway, this ends my Planet of the Apes week. I hope it entertained you and rekindled, reignited, or started up an interest in these (mostly) wonderful films.

Sad to see these reviews end, they we're good. I was actually in suspense waiting to see if you gave this film the thumbs up or not.

Thanks!

I was also in suspense about the last film. I'm glad it turned out to be good, so this whole week wasn't a huge waste of time.

Just saw on the news that this movie is a surprise hit.

Should I take credit for that?

A great review. Although I knew I wanted to purchase the DVD, I couldn't decide whether or not to see the movie in a theater. Your review cleared up a number of points I've been wondering about, primarily if the movie has a good balance between character development and action. Also, whether the human performances helped, or hindered, the movie's pace. Other than John Lithgow (I agree with you, his performances are always good), and David Hewlett (auto-interest from me because he is a Stargate SG-1, and Stargate Atlantis alumnus).

I'm going to see this movie in a theater.
