New trailer:

Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2011 trailer

Why in the hell are there so many apes in San Francisco? Are there that many Silverbacks in the US combined?

This looks interesting. However, I predict a bomb and unfortunately doubt we will ever get a sequel. Hopefully I'm wrong!

why did Fred Flintstone keep ordering the bronto rib when it always made his car tip?

Re: Rise of the Apes

PoTA is one concept I could just never fathom, just no way apes could overthrow society short of a nuclear holocaust where only they survive. It kinda works in the old movies in the future where thats a background thing and the focus is on a guy trying to survive his strange new surroundings but presenting us with the actual ape overthrow of earth is just a silly concept that IMO is going to flop. Its not an origin story like Batman that I want to see and could be made believeable even within the realm of fantasy.. How do the apes defeat cities like Hong Kong, how do they fight the Navy and aircraft carries? Its laughable.

Plus the entire thing looks like a shot per shot remake of that movie where Mathew Broderick takes care of an intelligent monkey that they are training for war.

That's no way to talk about Sarah Jessica Parker.

Re: Rise of the Apes

You know whats hilarious, Google rates its search suggestions by how popular they are, and when you type "Sarah Jessica Parker" in google the first suggestion it gives you is

Did you want : "Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a horse"

even before "Sarah Jessica Parker movies"

Some of you guys crack me up!

It's called Suspension of disbelief. Most people enjoy movies much better when they do so.

Just as a side note... monkeys aren't apes

My point is they are trying to present the event with a level of realism, having it being a scientific experiment, and I get the idea that they gain intelligence to match us, and so are dangerous, but that doesn't grant them all scientific knowlege at once. They'd have to still learn how to operate a tank for example. So I still don't see how the Apes could defeat something like the Army or Navy, since they don't have one of their own. And then move to europe and conquer the world. Things like that. It just seems like the wrong part of the timeline to make a movie about to me.

Erm, we have intelligence, Apes/Monkeys have the strength/agility.
Now give them our intelligence..

Super Monkeys > Humans


I have a feeling this movie will be crap, but I really hope it's not.. This is like the best summer movie year ever. So far most of the popular movies have turned out incredible (Thor, X-men).

Re: Rise of the Apes

Except it isn't a cosmic event that grants every ape intelligence at once and turns the odds, its a few dozen in a lab somewhere.

Its like saying 2 dozen unarmed freerunners managed to conquer the continental United States.

Re: Rise of the Apes

I cant wait to see this movie. That badass trailer with that huge silverback leaping off the bridge is AMAZING.

Re: Rise of the Apes

Looking forward to this. I think this has the potential to be quite excellent.

you are filling in the gaps based on a two minute trailer.

All I'm saying is that you, and others, are putting waaaaay too much thought into a science fiction film.

Good science fiction should make you think.

Sure. But not to the point where you can't enjoy the movie.

The new trailer gives me hope that this might be good...
