About this movie

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a revolution; an action-packed epic featuring stunning visual effects and creatures unlike anything ever seen before. At the story's heart is Caesar (Andy Serkis), a chimpanzee who gains human-like intelligence and emotions from an experimental drug. Raised like a child by the drug's creator (James Franco), Caesar ultimately finds himself taken from the humans he loves and imprisoned. Seeking justice, Caesar assembles a simian army and escapes -- putting man and primate on a collision course that could change the planet forever.

I don't want to give away and spoilers, suffice to say this movie was nothing I expected. Is exceedingly well scripted, well acted and ultimately a very human, tragic story, reminiscent of the masterpiece "Flowers for Agenemnom". This is a movie that will stay with you.

Unlike any other transformation of animals into human like creatures ever achieved. You believe they are real! Absolutely amazing.

James Franco proves again that he's one of the most underrated serious actors ever, they keep throwing him in comedies.
