Ape Planet


I really looked forward to seeing this movie. As a prequel to the Charlton Heston classic, I knew it could be extraordinary, and the trailers gave evidence to that possibility. But the animal cruelty is so pervasive that I couldn't finish the movie. I was in distress soon after the movie began, and my anxiety kept rising until I was in tears. I finally stopped the movie and sent it back. Am I overly sensitive? So I've been told. But life is too short for me to subject myself to watching animal cruelty as entertainment. I give it 2 stars out of 5.
