Caught the first show this morning and it's the best of the three Apes movies. The story is good, the direction very good, the acting (and CGI characters or not, they ARE acting!) excellent and the CGI animation of the faces on the apes was flat-out astounding. The actors playing human roles were also excellent. If you liked the first two movies, this is an excellent end to the trilogy that I can highly recommend. If you didn't care for them (and I don't mean the previous Planet of the Apes series, I just mean this particular trilogy) or haven't seen them, I would recommend seeing the first two before seeing this one. It really is a three-movie story arc.
