I love the story and the atmosphere and everything. And Its nice to have a PotA movie set in modern day, like an updated version of the 60's originals.

I thought the movie itself was lacking a bit though. It was a bit slow going during the middle, and I found the big battle on the bridge at the end was kind of underwhelming. I thought the 2001 Planet of the Apes movie had a much better action sequence.

I do look forward to the sequel though. It should be interesting to see what they do with it. My bet is astronauts come back to Earth and find it overrun with apes. I wonder how many years in the future it will be set (after this one).

That would make sense since we see on the TV screen (When Dodge bitches about his cookies) that the first expedition to Mars has begun and later you see in the paper "Lost in Space", which is most likely in reference to that expedition. It would tie in perfectly with the originals.

Good point man that's exactly what I think too! My friend I saw it with didn't notice that thing about Mars and he doesn't believe me that it was there. It makes perfect sense like you say.
