We’ll be seeing this one. The enhancement ‘meme’ screams to anyone who’s paying attention. Here’s an excerpt from the review. Warning: SPOILERS.

A reboot of the Apes franchise was in no way on my radar after the somewhat messy Tim Burton/ Mark Wahlberg attempt back in 2001 – but quite frankly, this reboot is perhaps one of the best of the series – and one of the best reboots of a flagging franchise I’ve ever witnessed.

That’s mainly, it has to be said, due to the work done by WETA in creating the chimps and Andy Serkis’ motion capture suit work as the lead Caesar. We’ve now reached an age where digital technology can do pretty much anything and can do it astoundingly well.

This is one of the few films that we WILL see in the theater. — WM
