Great

So this is a movie about super intelligent apes trying to keep people off their lawns?

OK, so researchers are trying to cure Alzheimer’s, they make the animals “smarter”, then they escape and try to kill everyone?

Isn’t that the plot of _Deep Blue Sea_?

also, chimps are not good pets. sometimes they try to [eat your face after escaping](http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-5632529-504083.html).

I was ok with this until this deadly line: “Some things aren’t meant to be changed.”

Sci-fi movie cliché #2a, rolled out there for our delectation. Yaawwwn.
