20110821:
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a great movie. I loved so many of the scenes. I loved all the references to the original Planet of the Apes (1968).
I recall making notes on my impressions of the movie, but perhaps this is the explanation of why I don't have notes on it:
"Unfortunately, I either didn't write down my impression of the drink or I accidentally erased it (along with other first impressions)."*
Getting back to the movie, I remember enjoying the score. I also uncontrollably whispered "Potter" after several of Tom Felton's lines.
*See my Captain Morgan Lime Bite post. The event took place on 20110822 and was recorded on 20110905.
[20120108]
Notes:*
[I] liked the beginning with the capture
[I] enjoyed the references (Lost in Space, "damned dirty ape," "Bright Eyes")
[The movie has some] awesome sequences
lol. [F]or about three of Tom Felton's lines, I leaned over to my friend and whisper[ed] "Potter" [in a Malfoy-like voice]
[The movie had] awesome action
[Josh and I] questioned the placement of the three credits before some additional scene
[H]alf the theater [was] empty and people [were] still leaving. lol.**
*On 20170522, I found these notes lying around in a draft blog post dates 20110821 10:30 PM. I'm uncertain of their origin, but they're likely quick notes written soon after watching the movie.
**I believe this note meant that most people missed the additional scene and some didn't care to watch the additional scene as it played.

Josh and I watched some of the special features on his blu-ray copy of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. We watched them in the background, while finishing our Scrabble game in the foreground.

*[20120108] I couldn't find the stub to this movie. I'll try looking again when I'm back in MD. In combination with moives being cheaper on Sundays and that I left the subsequent Thursday/Friday, the following suggests that I saw this movie on the 21st of August:
