WATCH > 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' Trailer: Epic or Fail?

There is already some massive continuity issues! If we consider Planet of the Apes 2k1 to be part of the series it defeats the whole story. 2k1 is based in 2029 so the time is futuristic. Rise is based off of current times. Obviously Rise and 2k1 can not comply with each other. UNLESS they can stick some valid idea of these astronauts being up in space for 18 years. Now the next problem is drugs do not pass through the placebo. At least most don't. Even then they'd have to be doing the drugs while pregnant. Now say if it is a virus that makes the brain better because it is inputting DNA to the cells and so on. HOWEVER!!!! Minor genetic alterations will not be contained in sperm when produced. I just can't swallow this movie!

The rise has already started. The chimp and his monkey bride are already in the White House.

I don't know know the storyline is.....meh.
I can't wrap my head around this is just.....
My animal loving side is screaming this is MEH!!!

Lab mice will get there before the apes but they will never get their own movie.

Narf!

Can't wait!

Either leave the classics alone, or morph them so badly that we don't realize we're watching a remake.

LMAO!

They just killed the planet of the apes just like they killed the force. Some things are just best left unexplained.
Not to mention in the remake of plate of the apes the antagonist's father explains humans advanced technology and this new movie takes place modern-day?

On an unrelated note "Oh my god, an army of intelligent primates! If only we had some sort of national military, armed with advanced weaponry as a well as an armed civilian population!...Oh wait a minute."

I liked the one with Mark Wahlberg. I was always waiting for a sequel. A prequel is OK, at least we should find out how things evolved.

Apes creep me out. No way I would want to watch a movie about them

Cool trailer. That last ape looked like George Bush.

NO NEED TO SAY ANYMORE !!!!

You took the words right out of my food hole. She is a scary monkey.

No words, just excitement

I don't even need to watch the trailer to know that Rise of the Planet of the Apes = awesomeness = Epic.

It has potential. But there is no telling how good it will be until it comes out.

Loved the original! Look forward to this one too.

That's not how evolution works.

I suppose they had to try to explain how it could be made to happen so quickly; not the best device, but better than the original films.

If you say so.

Those chimps are creeeeeepppppyyyy but I might just see it for the sole purpose of drooling over James Franco

He is sexy

Like all new movies it might fail but I think I'll see it anyways just to check it out.

epic? we'll see,i watch it for sure being a fan of the others

AGAIN...Insufficient choices for a proper response, however, this trailer looks promising. It is a good story-line afterall.

I really wanted to see this until I saw that MTV was involved. Bummer.

Cant Wait Mon

So just get stoned before you watch it. "Wow man that monkies really smart man..."

I hope!

Just shoot the damn monkies.

The problem with the reboot was that it was all style, no substance. The original series was an allegory about our advances in nuclear science, and the dangers science had brought into reality. The reboot in 2001 was about...a warp in space time that we were studying and a fantasy land on the other side.

This new reboot brings back the original premise, but modernizes it. Instead of nuclear science, we're dealing with neuroscience and medical science, and the unintended consequences of it. With all the talk about stem cell research, it seems timely and, again, on point.

Plus, it LOOKS wicked awesome.

I agree!

Possibly epic considering how far movie technology has come. Should have some awesome costuming and special effects. Time will tell. I see Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter series is in this. Guess the Potter cast is moving along.

looks good sounds like a good storyline but is it a prequel or a reboot of how that time period or earth was taken over by apes

Hollywood or simply the film industry or even just the entertainment industry has lost the magic, just as bad as Disney has...Oh wait, Disney is part of that industry.

But I will agree that the trailer does look impressive.

Please!
