I must admit, the first half hour had me questioning if I was wasting my time. I was confused about the vast demographics the film was trying to appeal to. Maybe there could've been some improvements there.
Once the 2nd act started, I slowly started to find myself more and more invested in the characters. However, I was still questioning potential plot holes in the story and the films demographic.
During the 3rd act, it really tied itself together and started to make a lot more sense. I want to rewatch it knowing how well it ends, similar to a Christopher Nolan film. I'm curious what a child would think of this film because it deals with some adult themes and subject matter that only an adult would relate to. It isn't crude, it's very family friendly. A child might find it slow and boring at times. The moral of the film might go over a child's head but there's plenty of humour and subject matter aimed at children.
Overall, I was very impressed with this film, and I'll be watching it again. Take your kids to it. If they don't enjoy it now, it'll definitely have a completely different meaning to them in 10, 20, or 30 years. As an adult, you'll almost definitely enjoy it.

The only good things I can say about this film is the CGI and the 5 min climax. It was beyond boring.
The main plot consists of a rescue mission and a divide between characters. Aren't they the plots of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes & War of the Planet of the Apes put together? And somehow most of the film consists of the most uninteresting world exploration and character development. It was almost like they intentionally set the excitement bar low so the next film(s) can easily appear more exciting. If you're expecting an action packed adventure, maybe save your money instead. I wasn't necessarily expecting an action packed adventure, but I expected a bit more than one 5 min action scene. I would also expect to care about the story.
War for the Planet of the Apes is on my 10/10 list, and for it to be followed up by THIS is insulting. When I saw Wes Ball was directing and Andy Serkis wasn't returning I knew it would be a disaster, when I saw the reviews I thought it might actually be good. (I know Serkis's Caesar isn't in the film but he plays an ape for Christ sake).
This was clearly just a cash grab for 20th Century Fox which is receiving relatively positive feedback. Very frustrating to see.

A lot of people didn't enjoy this movie because of the plot line, and i do agree because the plot did jump all over the place. But if it wasn't for that you wouldn't have the the most visually amazing and intense action sequences you have ever seen. The plot changes are actually advantages to the movie because it adds to the girl's sanity.
After seeing 'Shutter Island' and others i thought this movie would have a similar twist at the end, and unfortunately I was wrong. There was no twist at the end (Don't worry that isn't a spoiler because this movie isn't supposed to have a twist). But this movie defiantly delivers in several different ways - amazing visual effects, insane action sequences, hot girls, and good story line (even though there are two going on at once). This movie is also DEFIANTLY a GUY movie! Not to say that girls wont enjoy it, if you are a girl and you like action movies you will enjoy this also. 'Sucker Punch' keeps you on the edge of your seat and wanting to know what will happen next!
