RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES REVIEW MOVIE
RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES REVIEW TRIAL

Many of the cheesy effects of the earlier movie are thankfully lost, although the zoo bars break off the cages so easily that one wonders why the animals didnвЂ™t let themselves out a long time ago. Then, after exposing the other primates to a stolen dose of WillвЂ™s experimental antidote, Caesar mounts an attack on the humans.Д«illed as an originвЂ™s story, this remake of the 1972 film Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, features motion-capture performances and CGI primates created by the digital wizardry of Weta Digital, the company behind the Avatar characters. He begins by reordering the hierarchy on the premises, establishing himself as the leader. (Why a pound exclusively for primates would be needed near San Francisco is never explained.)Д«ut unlike the gorilla (Richard Riding) and a discarded performing orangutan (Karin Konoval), Caesar has the smarts to initiate a prison break and the emotional connection to make audiences cheer him on. Locked away in a facility with abusive animal attendants (Tom Felton, Brian Cox), Caesar suffers indignities along with the other abandoned animals.

However, his exceptional intelligence doesnвЂ™t prevent him from ending up in a primate shelter after he attacks a belligerent neighbor who is berating WillвЂ™s dementia-riddled father. Along the way he masters sign language, intricate puzzles and challenging mental exercises. Meanwhile, Caesar grows from an adorable infant into a turbulent teen. At home, Will, unwilling to give up on his pharmaceutical study, attempts to revise the drugвЂ™s molecular makeup and uses his ailing father as a human guinea pig. When chimp handler, Robert Franklin (Tyler Labine) refuses to give the newborn a lethal injection, the young scientist sneaks the chimpanzee out of the building. But during a presentation to prospective investors, he and a company executive (David Oyelowo) discover potential side effects after their test ape goes berserk and demolishes much of the laboratory before breaking into the boardroom.ДЄs a result of the incident, WillвЂ™s program is shelved, the remaining lab animals are euthanized and Caesar becomes the only link to his research.

And his fatherвЂ™s (John Lithgow) battle against the memory-stealing malady causes him to rush through the trial process. But CaesarвЂ™s (Andy Serkis) cognitive skills far exceed those of a human 2-year-old thanks to an experimental drug injected into his mother before his birth.Дriven to reverse the ravaging effect of AlzheimerвЂ™s Disease, Will Rodman (James Franco) is the scientist behind the brain-enhancing medication. ThatвЂ™s been the first word of a few toddlers I know. It says something about the developmental process when the first word spoken by a monkey in this movie is вЂњnoвЂќ.
