Christian 2d this was great and I'm excited to watch the next See more Chris S @Janomi Jun 14 Rupert Wyatt successfully revitalized the franchise with Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a film that modernizes the concept while remaining faithful to its core ideas. The movie's greatest achievement is Caesar's origin story, which stands as one of the strongest character introductions in modern franchise filmmaking. Watching his intelligence develop and his relationship with humans evolve gives the film a surprisingly emotional foundation. Andy Serkis delivers a remarkable performance through motion-capture technology, creating a character audiences immediately connect with. James Franco and John Lithgow provide emotional weight to the human side of the story. The visual effects were groundbreaking at the time and still hold up remarkably well. While some supporting characters feel underdeveloped and portions of the plot follow familiar blockbuster conventions, the film succeeds because it makes audiences care about Caesar. By the end, the franchise feels completely renewed.

Andy Serkis che sia Gollum o Cesare non delude mai nelle interpretazioni See more Fenton S. @RT94694289 Jun 6 The CGI is brilliant for the time but slightly worse then the next two movies. Mat Reeves my king makes those look phenomenal and this movie is missing that. But it is still a masterpiece of storytelling See more Brighton N @RT09904023 May 30 On paper, I'd never find this script to be as exciting or bizarre as some of the original films. However, in practice, this film is able to excellently execute its story, cinematography, acting, presentation, action, narrative, and characters to become a tightly woven experience. This film far surpasses most of the original movies due to its near-perfect execution, and that is coming from somebody who doesn't mind (and enjoys) the graphics of old movies. This movie perfectly depicts what I envisioned Caesar's rise to power would look like in modern cinema. And, for that, this is an absolutely excellent film.

An ape getting trained by a doctor who adopted him and later thrown into the shelter to live with other apes and then him getting control over all of them was really a good concept. I love to watch these kind of movies. Everyone wouldn't be so amazed with this movie or love it but I surely did. See more Read all reviews
