Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Rise of the planet of the apes, is a film that you know is so going to have a sequel due to the ending and the way the film leaves the many open questions as to what the apes are going to do now that they have raised and over come. The film opens and takes place at a big drug company and this is where we are thus introduce to Will (James Fanco's character). Will is a scientist who has been working hard on a cure for Alzheimer's he uses the chimps as the subjects to test the medication on to see if it is successful. However, one of the chimps doesn't react well and attacks a board meeting and the experiment in turn is thus called off due in part to the events that transpired. But we all know that the scientist should have know this fact as well, once the animals gain this knowledge they are dangerous. Will's main goal is to ensure that the ALZ 112 works so that it can thus be tested on grandpa so that he is not out attacking his family lol!
We then meet a chimp who has been displaced, and Will is so touched by this. That he then takes this baby chimp home with him, and years go by and the chimp has grows close to Will and Will thus teaches the chimp new things and Caesar (the chimp) starts to grow and develop intelligently. We have Andy Serkis who delivers a great performance as Caesar and due in part we the viewer never know where the human and the animal end. We have the individuals that are the keepers i.e.e watchers of the plant enters Tom Felton who is so cruel and mean to the chimps, but we have to realize that this to all plays a part and a factor in the film. John Ligthgow's character is the dad and he has the mind deteriorating disease, and his role is just as important as all others to explain this vast story to us the viewers.
This all builds up to the action scene at the end, which is very dramatic and climactic as well. And we are left with the realization that Caesar is so smart, and we feel victory for the apes when they make there cross over. This is a must see and you will most like get what you were expecting when you see it.
