I still can't use this. Posts: 6,546 Group: Former Monarchs Member #6,722 Joined: March 16, 2008	Official Site - Wikipedia - YouTube Channel - Rotten Tomatoes (82%) - Box Office Mojo Director: Rupert Wyatt Writer: Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver Studio: 20th Century Fox Cast: James Franco, Freido Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton, Andy Serkis Release Date: August 5, 2011 Synopsis An origin story in the true sense of the word, Rise of the Apes is set in present day San Francisco. The film is a reality-based cautionary tale -- a science fiction/science-fact blend where mankind's hubris leads to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy. Oscar Ž-winning visual effects house WETA Digital - employing certain of the groundbreaking technologies developed for "Avatar" - will render, for the first time ever in the film series, photo-realistic apes rather than costumed actors. Media: Five Reasons Why You Should See This In Theaters: Spoiler: click to toggle The film primarily chronicles Caesar's struggle for reconciliation with society and achieving justice for his fallen ape bretheren. It's emotional and engaging from start to finish thanks in big part to Serkis' amazing motion capture performance. The conflict between humans and apes avoids the pratfall of "humanity sucks" seen both in Caesar's leadership and the troupe's overall goal, and our eventual downfall from this midtown revolution remains a nice twist that's foreshadowed well. The film also avoids a completely negative stance upon the scientific morality of the entire fiasco. Rise serves as a complete thematic and narrative reboot, meaning entry level viewers can follow along easily. Homages to earlier films are there but handled with extreme subtlety, sans the most famous line which is a set-up to one of the most powerful and startling moments in the film. While the relatively-modest budget prohibits the film from looking like Avatar, Weta has nonetheless used their funds well, implementing great detail and convincing acting without falling into the Uncanny Valley. Apes proceed to destroy police cars, tangle with officers mounted on horseback, and crash a helicopter while running all over San Fran and the Golden Gate. If nothing else, pay for that. While Transformers 3 surpasses a billion in B.O returns, the first Planet of the Apes film I thought actually had some potential has been rather cruelly dismissed by the online community. Despite my annoyance with these facts, I too lowered my expectations some after watching some online clips, afraid that Caesar's character arc would be handled haphazardly. I'm glad to find out that I was completely wrong: That was one of if not the most engaging and thoughtful films I've seen this year, better than Super 8; hell, I almost cried at certain moments, over mo-capped apes no less. Better yet, it's made over a fifth of its budget back in two days without the help of more profitable overseas markets. Sequel is a go-go. Doubtful questions, but has anyone else seen this yet? If not, has any of this convinced you to at least give it a try later?

I saw both versions of Planet of the Apes only once each. I saw the remake a long time ago so i barely remember it. I saw the original last year in english class. They both freaked me out, but i've been looking forward to seeing this tke on it. Edited by Breakfast Princess, Aug 6 2011, 10:18 PM.

Currently attempting to return.

I just hope they don't make human look like idiots and actually show a good reason for we to lose.

We all make choices. But in the end, our choices make us Posts: 2,868 Group: E Rank Legend Member #10,732 Joined: February 3, 2010 Game Currently Playing: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap	Saw the movie the day after it came out. I must say, I was very impressed. Sure was close to shedding some tears in a lot of scenes. You could just feel Caesar's pain through the whole thing. The ending wasn't what I expected but I was pleased nonetheless.

Aliens currently tops my SEE list but Apes is right behind at #2. I've got free tickets for a couple movies, just gotta wait for both films to become available to free pass regal entrants.

Too bad it comes out 18th of August here, and that's when I'm at a festival. I'll probably watch Planet of the Apes beforehand.

This is a primary source of my appreciation for the film, the motion capture techniques used and just how close the animators got it. Also, I think it's just fun seeing the side-by-side comparisons of Serkis and Caesar:
