Movie Review: “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Releases: December 13, 2011

Studio: 20th Century Fox

Running Time: 105 Minutes

ABOUT:

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a revolution; an action-packed epic featuring stunning visual effects and creatures unlike anything ever seen before. At the story’s heart is Caesar (Andy Serkis), a chimpanzee who gains human-like intelligence and emotions from an experimental drug. Raised like a child by the drug’s creator (James Franco), Caesar ultimately finds himself taken from the humans he loves and imprisoned. Seeking justice, Caesar assembles a simian army and escapes — putting man and primate on a collision course that could change the planet forever.

MY THOUGHTS:

Even if you are not a big Planet of the Apes fan, this movie is a must see.  I actually don’t think I ever saw the old Planet of the Apes movies, just the last recent one from 2007.  You don’t even have to have seen any other Planet of the Apes movie to understand what is going on as this is like a new version of how the story began.

The movie starts off with a company who uses the chimps to test a trial drug on to cure Alzheimer’s.  After an accident, a baby chimp ends up going home with a scientist.  It is amazing to see how the chimp, Caesar, grows and learns everything.  After another accident Caesar ends up in a chimp environment, which is like a prison for him.  After some drama, the movie really takes off with Caesar teaching all the other apes.  He is so smart, he does things I wouldn’t even have thought of!

I really like this movie and have watched it a few times already!  There is nothing I dislike about it and I am looking forward to a sequel.  The characters are all amazing, although the chimps are probably the main characters!
