Born in 67, I saw the 1968 original sometime in the late 70s, old enough to have been transfixed, probably around the time of Logan's Run, and of course the ending was stunning. I think I saw either the first remake or one of the early ones of franchise and wasn't impressed, haven't seen any others. Thought this one would be worth checking out. From a CGI perspective, it was. Story was reasonably good as well but it was just a basic movie, nothing magic or particularly interesting. Never on the edge of your seat. The orangutan character was a favorite, could have used more of him. The girl was just ok. The ending was appropriate for the story but it wasn't interesting in the slightest. I think the next one, which I probably will see only because this one sets up what could be a great movie. But the script will have to bear that out. Stream it when it's cheap unless you've been following the franchise up to this point.
