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 (David Warner). Leo escapes his cage and frees other humans. Ari sees them, but Leo manages to convince Ari to join their cause.General Thade (Tim Roth) and Colonel Attar (Michael Clarke Duncan) march ape warriors in pursuit of the humans. Leo discovers Calima (the temple of "Semos"), a forbidden but holy site for the apes. Watch the movie to see what happens next.

ReplyDeletewelcome as always. i always watch movies on dvd for rent as well.
ReplyDeleteI just saw this movie again on TV. I give it a 4 because I never liked Planet of the Apes a whole lot but the ending ruined a lot of it for me if they weren't planning to make a sequel. The new one is out and I will see it eventually when I don't have to pay for it. Nice recap though here.
