This reboot of Planet of the Apes starts out with realistic framing compared to the original. The apes actually look like apes and there's great writing and character development for over half of the film.
But then it just became more and more ridiculous, naturally climaxing in the sort of prolonged, absurd CGI violence the stupidest of Americans demand. I found this turn of events predictable but a good twenty minutes of this flick are unbearable and this is something I would normally fast forward through.
Another serious issue is that Rise of the Planet of the Apes and its successor Dawn of the Planet of the Apes didn't exactly age well in contrast to more recent experience with the handling of COVID 19.
