This is BEST Planet of the Apes moment, ever! :
YouTube - Mama! (Escape from the Planet of the Apes, 1971)
Maybe they'll end the new movie this way?:lol

Ok....I am not diggin the design. I know they SHOULD look close to real apes, but part of the appeal of both POTA and King Kong is that they are Hollywood Simians.
Plus, I am going to have to really suspend my disbelief that they can conquer mankind, with nothing but themselves. Are there billions of them? Will we be partly decimated by a plague? I know the original Conquest movie follows the same premise, but it was still very unbelievable and also very hard to watch.
I am going with a "meh" on this.
edit: Just read the article.....Letteri is clueless:
“Our chimps have to look like real chimps,” Letteri said. “In the original franchise, you could tell they were actors in suits. Here we’re seeing how the evolution happened. We have to go to reality.”
reality of Apes taking over the world? :rolleyes
That's the problem with the industry today. They are trying to make fantasy look too realistic. The public isn't that gullible. Just a small part of our brains need to see the make-up....just to help suspend our disbelief..so we can let our minds enjoy the unreal.

they use bones as weapons
^ I would rather they looked like that.
"..but unlike those characters, the faces won’t reflect the features of the actors playing them. “They’ll be recognizably distinctive due to differences in size, how dense the fur is, how big the ears are, different colorations to the face and the muzzle,” Letteri said.
Again, out of touch. Most of the appeal of the original movies were the actors behind the foam. We forgave the make-up and campy dialog.
*sigh*

I think one of the biggest problems is remaking movies.....some movies just cant be remade
tim burton's remake of POA was absolutely horrible. Hopefully this remake is better than Burton's version.

Doesn't look too bad to me, didn't "Man" destroy the world in the original and the apes had evolved through time though. I'm pretty sure its not just 200 apes taking over the world. Maybe they just take over America and the rest of the world bombs the hell out of it???
Thats gunna cause Homeland security a headache & a half.
