Even with a single teaser trailer, director Rupert Wyatt has already laid further waste to Tim Burton’s abomination. While that’s not exactly a tough thing to do, Wyatt looks to have made a genuine Planet of the Apes film. Burton and co. missed out on what made the Apes series interesting: social commentary. Rise of the Planet of the Apes seems to be another man abusing science fable, and it fits perfectly into the Apes mold.

Honestly, I was about to discount the whole thing because of the all-CG apes, though I can perfectly understand why the technique is being used. Still, when I look back at Rick Baker's ape suits in Congo I find them wholly convincing and kinda long for that approach. But I guess it's hard to have a guy in a gorilla suit jump off a freakin' bridge at a helicopter! Holy crap, that was cool!
Visceral appeal aside, the trailer actually has me jazzed. It looks really tense and creepy. I'll be seeing this!

I always liked Conquest also, but the first one is still one of my favs. like someone posted earlier, it's got a cool, creepy atmosphere to it also and it's not without it's well-placed humor either.
Personally, Escape is one of my least favorites. It just doesn't work for me...too goofy for my tastes in a series that largely works because of its more unsettling moments.
