    I didn't mind the CGI and I thought it was a decent flick but the ending was like Joe put it.....stupid. All the lives lost in the battle but ok you made it to the forest have a great life.

    But during the credits you see the pandemic and the Rise of this new Planet...which is going to be run by Apes...

    ...that talk?
    Anyway, while I agree the end was dumb, I figured that the humans suddenly had more immediate concerns (global human pandemic) than to hunt down a bunch of apes...

    One thing I dont get, is why they replace stuff they can do for real, that they have been doing for real in movies for 20, even 30 years with real makes-up, costumes, effects, with CGI.. My guess, its cheap... And it shows, above anything else, they're being cheap..

    I saw the Marky Mark/Tim Burton POTA's remake in the theater, and for the most part I liked it... And the "effects" in that were top notch, those costumes looked better than anything they did in Rise OTA with CGI..

    If you've got a shitty script and a rehashed story (Rise OTA is a complete and total rip off of the plot/story of Deep Blue Sea, from the search for a Alzheimer's cure to making animals smarter, its completely unoriginal other than throwing in the pandemic aspect...) and your crutch to make the movie watchable is the CGI, the CGI better be top notch... This was no Avatar thats for sure..

    IMO they just don't replicate real stuff that people have lots of visuals of for comparison with CGI yet... So dinosaurs and dragons or w/e don't take me out of it, because there is no frame of reference... But show me a CGI lion and its just glaringly obvious that its CGI and it takes me out of the story..

    I did not see one Shark that could swim backwards in ROTA, therefore your argument is invalid.
