I saw this film last night at the movie theater. I have to say that it was really good. I can't compare it to the 1960s/70s movies since I only saw the first "Planet of the Apes" made in 1968 and the remake from 2001, but this one holds it's own. James Franco did a good job as both a man who is trying hard to help people (like his dad) with Alzheimer's as well as a scientist trying to make a name for himself.
I'm not sure why the film takes place in San Francisco though since in the 1968 and 2001 films don't they show a buried Statue of Liberty and that's how the main guy knows he isn't on another planet, but on Earth?
The computer-graphics made the apes look real, but at the same time not-real (if that makes sense.) I liked how the baby ape looked. It made me want to go out and get one for myself - I like monkeys!
All in all this was a good movie and people should watch it. I have included the other movies from the "Planet of the Apes" series to my Netflix so I can see how those stack up.
