Spoiler:a designer virus intended to mutate the brain and bestow superhuman intelligence backfires, killing off 99% of humanity and leaving the rest a bunch of mute imbeciles. The virus will either kill your girlfriend or turn her into Nova.
This also would tie in nicely with the originals if...
Spoiler:...the virus rendered the remaining human's offspring mute with a lower intelligence level. Then when the astronauts finally landed back on earth the situation would be similar to what the human inhabitants had in the '68 film.
Yeeeeah I just saw this last night. My one complaint is that Malfoy kid missed his chance to belt out a really awesome classic line, he kind of pussed out a bit. And is he doomed to play douchebags for the rest if his career or what? Haha.
andSpoiler:George Taylor: It's a mad house! A mad house!
Spoiler:George Taylor: Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!
Two years apart-- start churning these out like they used to handle the Bond franchise... I'd love that.
I'd love to see an Apes movie every two years!
Just as long as they are the same caliber of film.
Spoiler:Oh yeah, I forgot about the part where they said there was the first manned mission to Mars--I guess that's a setup for the next movie. I was wondering how they were going to make a plot for the future, other than the virus spreads and the apes become more intelligent.

I actually thought Malfoy's line was better than Heston's. Heston's never flowed right to me. "Oooo. I get to say a swear! Eat your heart out Rhett Butler"! Is kinda how it always felt to me. But it was more believable coming from snotty Malfoy IMO.
Saw the movie yesterday. I really liked how they made everything make sense, very few plot holes.

. Again, a very cool reference and tie-in.Spoiler:It's mentioned that the rocket is called "Icarus". This was the name of Taylor's spaceship in the original. Also, later in the new film there is a newspaper headline that reads "LOST IN SPACE?", intimating that the manned rocket has been lost, which is exactly what happened in the original
Haven't seen it yet. The only think that worries me about the trailer is the human performances. Are they ok?
