does anyone who saw the theatrical trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes feel like anything would be added to their experience by actually seeing the full length movie?
It was kind of the whole movie.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, but I need to see whether that ape actually reached that helicopter.

Nope. After all, I know how it ends.
That said, my suspenders of disbelief broke shortly into the trailer, because what with habitat destruction and poaching, the population of great apes is incredibly small--no matter how intelligent they became, they could never conquer 6 billion human beings, not unless they engaged in some insta-cloning process or something.

Surely they will engage in some sort of monkey business.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No.
But in the director's cut, yes.

Quick show of hands: does anyone who saw the theatrical trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes feel like anything would be added to their experience by actually seeing the full length movie?
Seriously.
After the 3 or 4 different Cowboys vs. Aliens trailers, I think I'm at that point with that movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I must be the only person intrigued by the Apes. I love the effects, and would love to see two hours of them,
As for Cowboys and Aliens, my ticket is already purchased.

So, would Cowboys and Aliens and Apes be awesome? There could also be battleships.

Hey. New board.
I think Apes looks pretty great.
