Scientist Will Rodman is determined to find a cure for Alzheimer's, the disease which has slowly consumed his father.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes starts and stops with the emotional-motion capture acting ability of Andy Serkis. He’s a master of his trade, a pleasure to watch and what he does with the Caesar character is Oscar worthy, if it was legal to nominate him. He’s the heart and soul of the film, and without him, the movie wouldn't be the same.
I’m amazed how the apes look. It’s a wonderful combination of special effects and motion capture. I love the growth in Caesar’s personality, the boss daddy pimpness of Maurice and the bad boy motherfuckerism™ of Koba. The action scenes with the apes are as thrilling as they come.
For some strange reason, James Franco doesn’t appear…
It’s just dawned on me that the second act of this movie is basically Monkey Shawshank Redemption. Kino cinema, and an introduction to one of the best film characters in modern history. Andy Serkis supremacy
This is how it's done. It has the perfect amount of character development and action, it doesn't forsake characters for the next big action scene, every action scene feels like the result of what we've just experienced, learned and felt by closely following these characters, rather than randomly having an action scene pasted in there out of nowhere, without any reasons or consequences. Here everything happens for a good reason, and everything has serious consequences with real weight behind them. Because of this the movie acquires something that many other movies of this type lack, and that is depth. Another aspect that contributes to this is the way director Rupert Wyatt chooses to communicate the story through evocative visual cues…
Everything virus related in this movie just hits so different now.
One Movie Every Day 2021
Fun family watch. Kids were totally engrossed—they hadn’t seen it before. I toyed with the idea of showing them the original first because if you watch these films it essentially ruins one of the greatest cinematic twists of all time. BUT, it’s hard to get them to watch pre-2000 films, let alone pre-1970 films. Maybe someday. Some of the CGI doesn’t hold up quite as well as I remember, but that’s only if I’m nitpicking.
Degrees of Kevin Bacon: 1
1. John Lithgow and Kevin Bacon in Footloose
it’s a good thing they were testing on apes and not rats. would have been Planet of the Rats

Now that's how you make a prequel trilogy!
"Take your stinking paw off me, you damn dirty ape! ... NO!"
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was so much better than I remember it being, and it got me to finally watch the other two parts of Caesar's epic story all in the same weekend. You know your kids are enjoying a movie when they start pretending like they are in it, and by the end, my boys were crawling around the room like chimps while enjoying watching the apes rise up.

Best of the Serkis trilogy, simply by nature of its dissection of the digital elements. So much of this film is about letting go - of old ways, of those who raised you, of the methods which we've grown accustomed to. It only helps that it's a fantastic action epic and sturdy as all hell, even as it commits to archetype.
An exquisite and mesmerizing reboot for a franchise that was buried by time, progress and the leaps and bounds cinema has achieved in the decades since the original Planet of the Apes graced the big screen and wowed audiences in 1968!
To say the very least the Special Effects were astounding! Andy Serkis (Caesar) performance capture was recognized via multiple nominations which is generally unheard of as it is not considered acting in the traditional sense! But this is not your typical cinema neither was Serkis's exceptional performance which gave life, personality and yes even a soul to the CGI chimpanzee character Caesar!
Creating Caesar was a technological feat, creating him as a sympathetic character the audiences could relate to was pure genius much of which can be attributed to Andy Serkis and the performance capture technique developed for the film Avatar!
Thoroughly captivating, well crafted and pushes all the right buttons!
