A single act of both compassion and arrogance leads to a war unlike any other - and to the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. {official site}
HIS review
After skipping the recent Planet of the Apes remake, it was nice to see a Planet of the Apes movie that looked worthwhile. This prequel holds up to the 1968 original. You’ll go into this movie expecting James Franco to be the lead character, but you’ll come out realising the real lead is Andy Serkis (Caesar). The CGI effects in this movie are second to none. The amount of emotion that comes through on Caesar’s face is breathtaking. Well worth seeing, even if Planet of the Apes isn’t your thing.
HER review
I was certainly not expecting this film to be anything like it is! It delivers on so many levels which was really surprising to me. I enjoyed the storyline, the CGI effects were out of this world (literally!) and the acting wasn’t contrived, well done James Franco for not making me cringe. Problem is I don’t know where they are going to go from here, leaving the remake as the sequel just doesn’t make sense… Loved it!
