Dunno...sometimes I have a very short attention span with these things... Brian Send a noteboard - 03/04/2010 07:56:09 AM
The beginning could have easily been 5 minutes long and still tried to make its point (I say tried because I feel it did a rather poor job of making a point, because it's hard to get anything across when your audience is so bored out of its mind from monkeys running around acting like monkeys that they're barely paying attention anymore).


Just making sure, but you're probably right. It could definitely have been shorter.

I can deal with a boring movie as long as there's something there to grab my attention, sometimes I just get bored early on and then that's it. Every time I watch this I end up looking for out of character things by the apes (the one walking like a man and then realizing it that you mentioned in your post is the one that I always remember)....that keeps me from falling asleep during the first part of the movie. :P

You do understand the beginning of the movie and why it was necessary, yes? *NM* everynametaken - 02/04/2010 05:09:07 AM 159 Views
I do, understanding and caring are two different things though.... Brian - 02/04/2010 07:17:39 AM 443 Views

I liked the beginning well enough. The ending, not so much. Legolas - 24/03/2010 09:38:15 PM 390 Views
The transition from bone to space station was pretty cool ironclad - 24/03/2010 10:05:30 PM 404 Views
The transition you mentioned is one of the best ever put to film PhotoJim - 28/03/2010 12:48:13 PM 476 Views
The part where he keeps seeing himself getting older was really cool. Darth_Katie - 29/03/2010 06:27:31 PM 349 Views
