I'm not sure if I like the war movie bits or the bleak landscape Western parts more.  Also trying to figure out where the Ape Promised Land is supposed to be.  I mean they start off in the Redwood National Forest, then supposedly cross some mountains, then a desert and end up at a big lake.  Is that Lake Powell?

Enh.  Pretty good movie though.  Harrelson's Crazy Colonel is a little over the top.  And I kind of wanted someone to point out that humans are as much an Ape sub-species as chimpanzees, gorillas or orangutans.  But I liked how the remnants of the previous movies' Ape schism were now human collaborators.  And the implication that the Sentience Formula went globally viral so it wasn't just Caesar's tribe.

So remember how in the previous movie dumb ol' Tyler Labine failed to follow proper lab procedures and wandered around with Death Flu? Yeah that made him Patient Zero for 0.2% survival rate death virus. Which is why human civilization is all collapsed. Which is why the apes in the Redwood National Park have had ten years to live the simple life of Chimp-ariaons, hunting resurgent elk and building a big ol' Ewok village...

At least until a group of survivors show up looking to restart a hydroelectric dam and maybe push back the end of Human times. Wunder-ape Cesar is still in charge, and because he had a loving human daddy decides to give the whole Ape/Human Peace thing a chance. Not every named Ape from the previous movie is willing to go along with this idea of course...

I was..pleasantly surprised by this one. The plot/story holds up fairly well. James Franco is his normal solid self in a non-stoned role. And Andy Serkis and the other motion capture actors playing the various apes do an astounding job. I do wonder though if they ended up making the chimps too tall. At the end adult Ceasar is the same height as James Franco's character. And I have a small quibble with how lax the containment protocols are at what is supposed to be a cutting edge lab engaged in viral-delivery genecrafting work...

1) Darth Chewbacca, the Sith Strangler must face Sugar-Coated Macaque Putin

2) The preferred minor super-power would be the ability to speak both turtle AND tortoise

3) I shouldn't eat succulent babies. Which is totally unfair as they're SUCCULENT. Those are the BEST ones!

4) Popeye's financial plan is seen as the best for the nation

5) KRACKADOOOOOM!

6) The perfect gift for a loved one is to destroy their enemies

7) Results for who killed Mr. Body are inconclusive

8) Over a 1/4 of you don't want me to have a monkey butler. This makes me sad. And angry. And determined. MONKEY BUTLER YOU WILL BE MINE!

9) Its a toss up as to which would be scariest to find in your closet, bees or big spiders

10) Mork as the best roommate? Really? Williams during his coke years?

Recently its been in the news about chimp attacks. Leading some people to try and discourage me in my quest for a monkey butler. And thats just silly. I mean millions of people EVERYDAY don't have their hands gnawed off by any kind of primate. Statistically that means I'd be perfectly safe...
