Planet of the apes 2001 remake.
There will be spoilers, becareful. Also LONG READ
Ah, a remake from the greatest movie in the franchise.
The only problem is, that this is CRAP.
This is like an insult to the original movie.
The year 2029, aboard the United States Air Force station, Leo (Mark Wahlberg) works closely with apes who are trained for space tasks. His favorite ape
co-worker is a chimpanzee named Pericles. With a electromagnetic
storm approaching the station, a small space pod piloted by Pericles is
used to probe the storm. Pericles's pod heads into the storm and
disappears. Against his commanding officer's orders, Leo takes a second
pod and goes in pursuit of Pericles. Entering the storm, Leo crashes on a planet called Ashlar in
the year 5021. He discovers that the world is ruled by apes who
can speak human language and treat human beings as slaves.
Leo comes across a female ape named Ari (Helena Carter), who protests the awful treatment humans receive. Ari decides to buy Leo and a female slave named Daena (Estella Warren) to have them work as servants in the house of her father, Senator Sandar.
Leo escapes his cage and frees other humans. Ari sees them, but Leo
manages to convince Ari to join a human rebellion against the apes.
General Thade and Colonel Attar march ape warriors in pursuit of the humans. Leo discovers Calima, a forbidden, but holy, site for the apes.
Now on to the bad parts of this movie.
In the original movie, the humans would be mute and couldn't speak, even the main character didnt speak since he got shot in the throat. But in this one, they all talk even before being captured.
They broke a rule mentioned in Battle of the planet of the apes (Ape shall never kill ape), of course Aldo did it then, but they never killed an ape in the original movie. Anyway like I was saying, Thade (who actually looks like ceaser from TROTPOTA which I find nice), kills about 2 apes, and Attar kills 1 ape.
They tried to fit two movies in, Planet of the apes (original) and uh, Conquest of the planet of the apes. It kinda worked, but it never happened like the way in the original, I actually forgot if they did add one, but I remember it was nothing like this if it was in the original.
4/10

Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)
Well, I finally managed to find the movie, I would fit the 2001 movie in, but uh, not enough room.
There will be spoilers, becareful.
Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)
This sequel follows the ape leader, Ceaser (Roddy McDowall), many years after he led the revolution in the previous film, Caesar tries to cultivate peace between the apes and the surviving humans. A gorilla general named Aldo (Claude Akins), however, Caesar is married to Lisa (Natalie Trundy), the female ape of the previous film.
They have a son, named Cornelius (Bobby Porter) in honor of Caesar's father.
Caesar regrets having never known his parents until his human assistant MacDonald (Austin Stoker) tells him about film archives of his parents, The archives are located in the Forbidden City, after obtaining weapons from the armory, Caesar travels with MacDonald and Virgil (Paul Williams) to the Forbidden City and sneaks in to find the archives. However, there are radiation-scarred humans still living there under the command of Governor Kolp (Severn Darden). Caesar and his party view the recordings of Cornelius and Zira and learn about the future of the world, but barely have time to study the tapes before they have to escape being captured. Caesar assembles a meeting to report his discoveries at the Forbidden City.
Most of the time the apes mouth wouldn't move with talking, but now it hardly does, you do notice it, but not alot like the other movies, so I am happy they were working on it.
Ceaser, Virgil and Macdonald were pretty stupid in the forbidden zone, if they wanted peace, wouldn't they stop, put their hands up and say "We come in peace"? I seriously expected that, but uh, I guess it is hard when you are being shot at. The mutant radioactive human well, not really mutant, even tho they can contact via thoughts, are also stupid.
If they wanted them captured, why shoot them? Seriously, why not firstly say "Freeze" or "stop"? Nope, they didn't, they just wanted to shoot them. By the way, I understand if it was just apes, but there is Macdonald with them.
There was mutant radioactive human thing, that actually said to the governor of the forbidden city, that maybe the apes and the human was just searching for something, and was there in peace. I suspected that he would go warn the apes, what did he do? Nothing, let them set a nuke up, let them gear up, do not tell the apes and play checkers, yes...He really did play checkers.
I give it 7.5/10

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Hey guys, I got a movie review, and I decided to review ANY movie I see, instead of the cinema ones.
THERE will be spoilers, THIS is a review site, becareful.
Resident Evil: Extinction 2007
I have not seen the other movies, I only found this when I was randomly searching through the TV.
The film begins with Alice (Milla Jovovich) waking up at the mansion, just like the end of the first Resident Evil. Alice defeats the usual obstacles, Her body is taken outside and dumped into a pit. The pit is then shown to be filled with hundreds of Alice clones. The shack is surrounded by a high fence and hundreds of zombies trying to get in the facillity.
A couple of years after the T-virus escaped Raccoon City, it has spread around the world. Umbrella (I have no idea what that is, I am actually reading the wikipedia to remember some stuff) has placed underground facilities to prevent anyone from the survivors to find out about Umbrella.
Later in the film, there is a cargo in las vegas, with the eiffel Tower and other stuff from all of the world, which I find weird, but I never seen the other films and maybe they kinda explain it.
Anyway, the cargo has zombies in it, but there is only one on set, and there is about a hole town in it, but a cargo could not FIT half a town in it, which I found stupid, they either put more cargo's around the town, or not. I did find it cool that some one climbed the eiffel tower for a sniping spot.
I really enjoyed this film, but the cargo part was stupid in my opinion, was there more? Were they lying down? Or is it a portal in it, but yes, in alot of films it tends to happen, but still, I find it kinda stupid.
I also did kind of expect Jill valentine or Claire to be the main character, but from what I know, Jill was not mentioned and Claire was in the movie but still. Didn't notice she was.
The acting is good, the zombie costumes kinda are okay, they from a 6 from the 1 to 10 scale, they should of explained it abit better, the ending was fantastic, seriously, I really want to see the other films. So much for infomation, it is pretty late, and I do not remember alot.
5/10.
