Since it is out on Pay-Per View and DVD, I will forgo the spoilers.
Ahem…
Have the producers, director, writers ever heard of science??? It goes into sci-fi stereotype BS right away.
Science guy’s father has terrible disease. Science guy works tirelessly to cure that disease.
Science guy gets remarkable results with ONE test subject and declares victory and wants to start with human trials.
That ONE test subject freaks out and based on that ONE example, the higher ups shelve the project.
Nobody watched that ONE test subject closely enough to notice that is was pregnant, and had in fact just given birth to live young. I guess checking the subject’s vital signs regulary during a drug trial was too much trouble.
Science guy gives experimental drug to father, who has remarkable results. He tells no one for 5 years, untl after ‘cure’ has started to fail. This causes him panic, as if alzheimer’s sufferers and their families wouldn’t give every dime they could beg, borrow or inheret for 5 more good years.
Later, they have another remarkable advance with ONE subject and want to make this the focus of all their efforts. ONE GODDAAMNED SUBJECT.
Ceasar is wearing pants throughout most of the film. Even after he in custody and placed in an animal shelter with other chimps. He is still wearing pants.
OK, I can go along with him being ‘house-broken’, but he is an animal in a single pair of pants for months on end in a room with no ‘toilet’ long after an intelligent creature would have realized that wearing pants was not nessasary.
Why did science guy not get concerned that chimp handler is sneezing blood after being exposed to experimental drug???
