And, remembering the first movie, Heston was called " Blue Eyes," a lead ape character in this was too. Also,the leader orangutan in the first was played by actor Maurice Evans, the name Maurice was the lead .

IMO, this is one of the BEST action/sci-fi movies in the last 5 years. The plots and sub-plots were rich, deep and well thought out. The contrasts between Humans/APEs, APEs/APEs, Good Humans/Bad Humans, was amazing. The questions that are posed are thought provoking:
*Did Koba have a point? He's known nothing but hate at the hands of humans. Was he justified in a preemptive attack on the humans?
*Is Ceasar an anomaly? One of the few apes that saw the best *and* worst of humanity. Was this point of view really a weakness?
*Was humanity's time truly over? Was the virus a near extinction event and it was not the time of the Apes?
An amazing movie and I think I could watch it two more times and learn something new.
(To be disappointed) I didn't have much time to think what to expect. I wasn't a big fan of the first Planet of the apes. My daughter, SIL and gkids asked us 5 minutes before they were leaving to watch it if we'd like to go. Everything is spur of the moment with that kid. I only went to see the gkids reactions and to get out of the house.
Really decent movies are few and far between these days.

What exactly were you expecting, SATX?
