Kinesis at last
I've a lot of goodwill for the PLANET OF THE APES franchise, even if individual efforts tend to be lacking in one department or another. After the disappointment of Tim Burton's reimagining and the frankly lacklustre trailer for this, I really...

Popcorn movie and nothing more. The B movie elements and inconsistencies (lots of them) overwhelm it. Although, it's kind of nice to see that the Kubrickian glower has made a return to cinema.
