This is a terrible movie. Frank Marshall (<I>Arachnophobia</I>) demonstrates no control over story, actors, effects, or general presentation in this adaptation of a Michael Crichton novel about an expedition into deep, dark Africa that runs into an unknown race of killer apes. The big monkeys attack and attack and attack and have to be fought off with machine guns and lasers--that's pretty much the story, except there's probably an even better one behind "fourth Ghostbuster" Ernie Hudson's bizarre decision to speak with a British accent. While Marshall wants us to root for the human characters, they're all so obnoxious and unbelievable you can't help but feel lousy for the poor apes when they get chopped to bits just for defending their homes against these twerps. If you're not feeling enough environmentalist ire these days, watch this and get angry. <i>--Tom Keogh</i>

Umm I'm a big fan of this book, so when the movie came out i went to see. well i wish i could get the time i spend back along with the money i spend on the ticket. the screenwriter did a lousy job at translating the script faithfully from book there are soo many holes (plot-wise) in this film it's laughable. i cringed at what was taken out and how it was put together. i can't believe that frank marshall the guy that produced with steven spielberg so many classics could directed a turd of film like this, i was steaming mad after i got out of this film. the only saving grace kinda of would be the locations and the special effects, but other than that it's a terrible film. i'm still trying to scrub it from my brain to this day. Felt for the actors having to endure this lousy script, i don't blame them too much, but the filmmaker who should've done better job before releasing it in the first place.
yuck.
