Review of Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) by Yash B — 08 Jul 2017

It's a fully loaded action spectacle with both brains and heart. The story is intriguing and constantly interesting with an intense tone throughout. The visual effects and performances are both top notch.

I love this movie so much. It was just so much more than I had expected. The emotional center is truly where the movie shines. It is a stellar origin story that kicks off the sequence of events very nicely.

The combination of drama, science fiction, and action is executed very well. It's a fantastic movie that'll both entertain you and make you think.
