Review of Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) by Khunter4382 — 28 Aug 2011

I really liked this film. Nearly every ape, if not all, were performance-capture CGI, and every one of them looked incredibly realistic. Serkis is particularly brilliant as Caesar. The film tugs at your heart strings here and there while offering an interesting case-study with apes, Alzheimer's disease, and the various relationships and interactions with their human counterparts.

Franco & Pinto are somewhat forgettable in this film, but Lithgow gives a good performance. There are many epic segments in this film that are unforgettable.
