Still, this movie surprisingly did surpass my expectations. A great plot and superb actors, but the disturbing flaws like terrible CGI and too much lack of action pulls my rating under an 8. There are many negative aspects, but the ending is surprisingly great and that made me crave for the sequel. The greatest flaw in this movie is the CGI I would rather watch the original Planet of The Apes. The action is very low, and that bored the hell out of me. It took almost the whole first and second act until the movie really began, and there are some “I predicted it sequences”. I would love to say it’s a well-written film, but unfortunately it’s not. There’s also much famous and great actors like David Hewlett, who I’m a big fan of. Well enough with the critical aspects, I actually gave this movie a 7, which means it’s a good movie! I really like the main story, and the movie do raise many ethical questions on what’s right and what’s wrong. That’s mostly what the movie is about, and I was dumb to expect much action, but there’s not much except for the ending. Rise of The Planet of The Apes, just reed the title and you know it’s about apes and their rise for dominance. Reboot after reboot, Hollywood is indeed out of ideas. I guess the new one could be seen as a 'true' prequel to 'planet' as it shows us how we got to the events without a paradox. He’s the heart and soul of the film, and without him, the movie wouldnt be the same.
He’s a master of his trade, a pleasure to watch and what he does with the Caesar character is Oscar worthy, if it was legal to nominate him.
What was sad was the decreasing budget as the series went on - certainly 'conquest ' and 'battle' had poorer makeup than even the original- to be fair I thought the lead apes makeup was very good - it's only in the crowd ape scenes you see they skimped on everyone else- Zera and Cornelius conveyed an awful lot of emotion even through the latex. Rise of the Planet of the Apes starts and stops with the emotional-motion capture acting ability of Andy Serkis. Conquest could have been alot better but the ideas are definitely there - battle is very hammy but takes it to it's logical conclusion at the slightly averted timeline so we shouldn't get the events of 'planet of the apes' - it could have been alot better but was done on such a small budget that the 'epic' battles look pathetic. Seeing Cornelius and Zera change from celebrities into feared and persecuted risks to humanity was brilliant.
The apes saga is very clever as it's given itself a free pass for sequels and prequels - The original planet of the apes is sequeled by 'return' which although a bit hammy (bar the cool abrupt end) gives us the setup for the absolutely superb 'escape from the planet of the apes' IMO actually the strongest, most brutal and striking of the original films. Planet Of The Apes and this was a worthy edition to the original legacy. Nice that Caesar was a tip of the hat to Roddy McDowell, more so than Charlton Heston, he's Mr. The apes saga is very clever as it's given itself a free pass for sequels and Didn't excpect it to be this good.
