Anyone else seen the new POTA yet?

Been trying to see the "Warrior" film all week, but can't fit the limited showtimes in my area into my schedule (going to one in about 15 minutes since the game's down for patching).

So, instead, I went and caught Rise of The Planet of The Apes last night.

I actually enjoyed it. The first half is a little slow, but quite thought provoking. The second half has all the ape-delivered beatdown action you'd expect from such a film.

And I'll say it again. It's a damn shame that Andy Serkis is best known for never having his face truly on the screen. But the man is absolutely phenomenal at it!

Not going to get too much into spoilers here.

Draco Malfoy gets the signature line for the property in this one.
Rodney McKay, playing against type but still a living engine of destruction.
I love how they tied the original film into it as well.
Someone seems to have forgotten that in a truly 3-dimensional environment there's no such thing as "front lines".

I swear to Bob I did a search for the last friggin' month on "Planet of the Apes". I got ZERO returns on it.
