I agree entirely with Rob here... The only thing that IMO that this movie has in common with the other "Planet of the Apes" movies are Apes as central characters and similar-sounding titles, not much else... Different strokes and all that ...

If one hadn't stayed for the rolling credits at the end you would have missed how this became the prequel.
I understand everything you guys say and I enjoyed the parts you stated but all in all I still preferred the originals

BTW, the one good thing which came (after) the movie was a visit to "Five Guys"
For those unaware this is the new burger/fries restaurant which started on the east coast and is now making its way big time into California.
This was fun. Definitely IMHO the best burger I have had from all of these fast food chains and the fries were perhaps the best as well.
This is a great place to take the kids and while you're waiting for your order you can enjoy some peanuts in the shell.
Suggestion...go with the "small" hamburger as it is plenty big enough. The decision was also easy as Five Guys show the number of calories on everything they serve and the regular size hamburger IIRC was over 1100 calories with a large order of fries almost the same.
Sorry to be OT but this was a fun digression leaving the movie theater

This aint our thread for agreement
While I like the fries ( there's a Five Guys in my town), that I can't get the burger med. rare makes it pointless for me. Cholesterol/saturated fat I don't need w/o any of the joy of a good burger.

Steve,
The first time I had FG burger, I thought wowie zowie, super home grilled taste (no mediums or rares in PA though). The second time I had one it was like, ok. I get it. Home grilled simul "taste" but not the real taste. The third time I had a FG burger, I felt a lump in my stomach for several hours. The forth time I had a FG burger, I swore I'd never go back. The fifth time I had a FG burger, I remembered the forth time. Never been back.
I saw the trailer for the new Apes and the blob of CG apes on the bridge was so unbelievable and fake looking that it killed all interest in the movie for me. Give me the originals, ape suits and all!
My best,
Peter B.

every time I have ever gone into one of these places such as FG or In n Out etc, I swear I will never come back. One disincentive for FG's was the published caloric intake for each item on the menu

In Quebec where I come from (originally), and where I was just a couple weeks ago, they have the best poutine.
Fries made in a special low fat oil (less than 5%).

I had to have a stent implant to (just) see the images of poutine. OMG.
To be true to the thread, poutine (sounds like poon tang, same danger level) is more dangerous than Apes on biochems!

...And the best 'tourtiere' too
Sorry, the best is what what my Aunt bakes....

No way Jose! I can tell that you never tasted 'la tourtiere du Lac St-Jean'.
...With beaver, wild rabbit and moose. And big square chunks of potatoes; 4 inches thick!
