First, this is a very well crafted movie. In my opinion the movie stands on it's own. Second, the plotnever looses momentum and Ceasar's character is one that nearly everyone can identify with in terms ofwhat happends when humans do not show undertanding and the good side of their humanity. Personally, I like the part where Ceasar goes back to the Redwoods and tells the scientist that "he is home". The scientist agrees and leaves. This movie will not bore you. It does not drag on. The characters are the right ones to play the characters. In the end of the movie, Ceasar is the one with humanity, not the humans.
