Amazing, 27 July 2001
10/10
Author: hessian88 from Kennebunk

One of the best films ive seen. Not just the plot but the beauty of the scenery. Once again he created a beautiful spectacle like in Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissorhands. The apes looked so real, and they moved so perfectly. An amazing film. 7-1/2 out of 10!
