Perhaps for me the biggest disappointment is the vast majority of the acting. As it includes a much larger human cast of characters. They bring with them limited acting prowess, with only a couple achieving pass marks. The story is simple and a real sordid reflection of humanity. There is a real orwellian feel as media coverage is manipulated and the apes are conditioned into servitude by the recorded voices demanding compliance. The uniforms are almost nazi like in style which is intentional. Also the comparisons which are drawn with the civil rights movement are obvious and must have been extremely close to the bone at the time of release. Overall its watchable and relatively thought provoking but not in the same league as the classic first movie. 6 is fair.
