seriously, it looks amazing. But then again, I liked the mark wahlberg version, so I might be a bad judge.

Meh, I'll take the Charles Heston version.

Part of the Original Planet of the Apes premise was that humans began to adopt chimpanzees as household pets and THEN servants, as they became more and more intelligent they were turned into slaves. Doesn't explain the rise in IQ of orangutans and gorillas, but it could be explained away through genetic manipulation nowadays, I suppose. It was a sci-fi movie, so get with the program...heh!!
There have been a few IRL stories of chimp pets turning on their owners and maiming or killing them, they have ferociously unreal super strength, apparently .

Yeah I am not going to line up for the chimp as a pet anytime soon... Those critters are surprisingly strong.

Nova... I had a car named Nova way back in the early 1970's... I also bought a lime Green Nova for 200 bucks around 1985 and put new head gaskets on it and got that old 308 engine running real fast.. Holy cow that car could move...

I had a white '71 307 2 bbl Nova that was pretty damn quick as well, ya sure that the engine in yours was a 308? The old Novas of the late 60s and early 70s were all fast and light, the largest "production" engine that was put in them, was a 350 4 bbl in the SS models, I believe. Chevy might have also had a 327 cid option available for a couple of years as well..not sure though.
But..there were "special" COPO models that were available through dealers who customised them, and were available in 69 and 70, that actually had 427 cid engines along with a "spare" 427 engine in a wooden crate for racing:
Freaking awesome dream ride, can't even BEGIN to imagine how blisteringly, neck-snappingly fast this Nova must be to drive, and there were only around 50 customized by Yenko, and only a handful still in mint condition like this one that are still around today...rarer than hen's teeth, and must be worth a cool million or so, maybe even more, due to their scarcity and collectibility...like rare paintings....heh!!

I thought it was pretty good. I'm not a fan of CGI but in this case I thought it was fantastic. Also explains how the apes were able to take over the world, if you pay attention. If you go see it, stay in your seat when the credits first start to roll.

I saw it recently and thought it was good, but not great. Id give it a 6.5/7. It had a good build up like josh said but the action was about 5 minutes long. Hints at a second one that probably bridges the prequel to the original.

I just got back from seeing it and we liked it a lot.. Not a 9 or 10 but a solid 7 to 8 in my opinion. Not sure if it sets up for a sequel but I am game if they do.... The numbers game gets a tad more explained in the movie.. Good movie...

Yeah it probably is going to be ended here but you never know nowadays. Nothing like a Ape movie...
