Planet of the A

We have ourselves a futuristic movie here. Overall not bad, not bad at all. Better than Big Fish but still weird in some aspects. Although i do like Mark Wahlburg the acting and plot could still been alot better. So basically an astronaut (Leo-Wahlburg) crash lands on a planet and ends up in the future. Turns out the alpha male are monkeys and humans are there slaves. He gets caught but then a monkey (Ari) buys them and helps them out because she believes humans should be equal. Leo escapes with other humans and Ari goes with them becuase she wants to help. After Ari goes missing along with the humans, the overlord ape commanger (General Thade) believes that Ari was apenapped... haha a little play on words there, you like? ANYWAY the ape army goes after them and traps them. BUT THEN they're saved by pericles (monkey who was with leo before he crashed). The monkeys believe that he is the orginal monkey and there God. They're saved, the end. The plot was pretty basic besides the end. I didnt see that coming. Special aeffects and stuff was alight. Typical for a future and animal movie, it's hard to do that stuff. I think the theme is pretty obvioues here. Defienetly man vs. nature. Nothing really much deeper than that. I guess you could usae individual vs. society since the humans were inferior. ALso it was touching to see Ari help them, little secret crush action ;). I would probably rate this movie a 6 out of 10, never really got engaged, was basic.

You can also see individual vs. society in Ari since she is in the minority when she thinks humans should be equal.
