Complete, gratuitous mayhem and a lot of people getting killed in Belarus, Manchester - England and Amsterdam - Holland. Car chase, bar fight and boat chase formulas mixed together in a reasonably interesting way while the plot funnels in towards a formulaic "must be there at a certain place and time." An awful lot of BMW X5's get written off though they are all older Mk I's spiffed up to look new - I'm sure the budget could not have stood the cost of new ones.

Not even remotely PG.

Strange how the movie is sorta funny - given all the people who actually die quite horribly.

Not a summer blockbuster but 8 out of 10

Saw it on opening night.

My Girlfriend - An important prequel to the Charleton Heston "Planet of the Apes". Explains so much in the original. Fabulous special effects. Loved it.

Me - Some really corny stock lines to show apes have feelings too. Action shots that probably look way better in 3D. The ending is reminiscent of Moses crossing the Red Sea.

Idle thought while waiting for something to happen in the movie - the apes are nowhere near anatomically correct. But then it would have had to get an R rating instead of PG-13.

I was left distinctly underwhelmed.

I suspect the small audience that barely filled 20% of the theater was too.
