Rise of the Planet of the Apes

This was a fantastic attempt at rebooting the franchise we all know and love and lets us discover how it all began for the apes. All though not a direct prequel from the 2001 Planet of the Apes still a great movie. I really enjoyed watching this and learning how one ape can change civilisation completely.
Will a scientist in San Francisco is developing a medicine to cure Alzheimer's disease and they are testing it on apes. This causes the apes to increase intelligence of that of a human. One of the apes goes on a rampage and is killed but when they discover that she thought they would harm their new born baby, Will takes the baby ape  whom he names Caesar home with him to look after and test. After a fair few years they realise that he needs to spend time with more apes and is sent to a home for apes. He is mistreated their by the workers and the other apes.
Great plot which leaves it open for a sequel. Finally an Ape film that truly is great.
4/5 for awesome primate movie
Rating 12A
Starring James Franco, Frieda Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton and Andy Serkis
I certainly recommend going to see this and ensure you that you won't be disappointed.
Thanks for reading, more coming soon.
