\"\"<\/a>Rise of the Planet of the Apes<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t perfect but it is a fine way to reboot the series with a new trilogy, especially after the disastrous Tim Burton version. This addition actually gives the apes more character which will be furthered in the sequel.<\/p>\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Will Rodman (JAMES FRANCO), a scientist in San Francisco, is experimenting with a drug that he hopes will cure his father’s (JOHN LITHGOW) Alzheimer’s disease. After his work is deemed a failure, Will becomes the guardian of Caesar (ANDY SERKIS), an infant chimp who was exposed in-utero to Will’s drug. Caesar displays unusual intelligence, and Will decides to continue his experiments secretly. But as Caesar’s intellect and abilities grow, he comes to represent a threat to man’s dominion over Earth.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>For whatever reason I had avoided seeing Rise of the Planet of the Apes<\/em><\/strong>, maybe because I\u2019m not as enamored with the original from the 60s and 70s or still suffering from effects of Tim Burton\u2019s version from 2000, but I found this reboot of the series to be rather entertaining. The performances from the human cast were serviceable, though Franco was impressive, but excels with motion captured, headlined by Andy Serkis as Caesar, bringing some genuine emotion behind the CGI, as he had done on the Lord of the Rings<\/em> films.<\/p>\n

Directed by Rupert Wyatt, Rise<\/em><\/strong> does a fine job re-establishing the series with a more grounded feel and in conjunction with striking visual effects, even beyond the apes, I found this to be an enjoyable sci-fi actioner.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
