Great movie which raises awareness of animal abuse in the labs. Many scenes in the movie are directly taken from real life of the chimps used for the research of their ability to use sign language, and later confiscated from the scientists studying sign language in primates by the owners - a big labortory mainly testing chemicals and drugs - and some of them died in horrible conditions before the sign language scientists managed to get them back. The lab in the movie is still nice compared to real life labs where chimps and other animals were and still are abused the way Koba was.

Definitelly the best version of planet of the apes. The message against animal testing is so strong and well done! Just like in real life, the movie shows that substances don´t work the same way on humans and on animals, even so closely related like chimps. In our reality it led to many deaths or serious damage of the people, in the movie it leads to the beginning of downfall of humans. The CGI + motion capture is amazing! No real animals were used during the making of this movie, which tells one more story against animal abuse. Must-see for animal lovers and activists. Actually not only for them.

good movie with action and a look at what happens when a caged animal's intelligence is enhanced. you don't have to have watched the old planet of the apes movie to enjoy it.

This movie is garbage, anyone who states otherwise is of the same simple minded demographic that justifies the production of such horrible modern films

I loved the old tv series but hated the previous attempt at bringing the Apes to the big screen. This new movie restored my faith as it was well written and well made. The characters were interesting and the special effects fantastic.Looking forward to the next one.

good acting but the story line seemed weak even though I am aware of some of the research going on.
