Review of Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) by Bkm — 04 Feb 2012
The visual effects are superb and Serkis' performance as Caesar is terrific, but the film is too one dimensional and simple minded to be truly engaging. None of the humans in the film are particularly interesting or complex so you find yourself rooting for the apes to do their thing which doesn't take place until the final act.
Most perplexing is why Franco chose this film as a follow up to 127 hours. He basically serves as a piece of human scenery.
