Review of Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) by Eduardo S — 09 Jun 2017

Rise of the planet of the apes; A film that managed to mix genres very well sci-fi, action and drama. At the beginning of the film we are not yet introduced to the protagonist (César); But when we are presented; It is still small, we see its evolution, albeit in a certain rapid way, through a simple dialogue well explained and without delays; And over time his intelligence increases; And in like all stories about revolution, whether of machines, artificial intelligence or other things, he begins to wonder where he came from; Things that every human being may have asked in a certain part of life; Even if it is not explicit in the movie it is there; Watching this movie three times in my life, but I had never realized it, I was only realizing it the third time and what a sensational part; The way the script builds the character is very well worked out; Caesar first begins to evolve, then begins to argue about his existence; Then begin to see in a more general way how your species is treated and at last solves by a sufficient in it all; The way conflicts are exposed, although simple goods are built; In the film there is no loss of time with dialogues and scenes; Everything is connected there; Even though the scenes between humans are unnecessary at the moment; They make sense throughout the film, this all shows that despite a simple script it has been very well built and does not have holes.

The direction of the film is firm; No mistakes that damage the experience of those who are watching, photography of the film is good; But what stands out even is the computer graphics; Although it is widely used, it does not spoil the film; It can be dated even though it is spectacular and barely perceptible, the soundtrack is excellent, in the final act it describes well what is happening and it is beautiful.

In the end I can only say that Rise of the Planete of the Apes is a sfi-ci movie that mixes action and drama very well.
