I wish more films these days would be like Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It's far from perfect, and not exactly aimed at my interests, but I can say this for it. When I first left the cinema my first thought was "Hm, that really didn't need to be a prequel to Planet of the Apes" which upon further thought, was actually a good thing! It had the strength to stand out completely from its own laurels, not just those of the original, so not only was it a great movie, it was a great stand-alone film, completely separate to its predecessor. Rocket is an altered chimpanzee who was the Alpha at the San Bruno Primate Shelter before and during Caesar s time at the shelter. He is the tritagonist of its 2017 sequel War for the Planet of the Apes. Still, on humans, it was cool to see Tom Felton (Harry Potter, The Apparition) and Brian Cox (X2, Super Troopers) getting into anything has always got to be a good thing. Rocket is an antagonist turned major character in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and its 2014 sequel Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. I'm glad now though, as this was as worthy a reboot as you could ever hope for, which as far as I'm concerned trumped even the original, not to mention how much it absolutely fucking brutalised that crap Burton came up with in 2001.Īndy Serkis (Burke and Hare, Lord of the Rings) returns to motion capture glory as Caesar, super-intelligent chimp-lord, who, to be perfectly honest, was written infinitely better than any of the human characters.

Although the trailer did look pretty sweet, I must admit that when I first heard about them yet again delving into the Planet of the Apes franchise, I was incredibly bloody sceptical.
#RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES RUNNING TIME MOVIE#
People sometimes miss them in action blockbusters.Įxtra half-star for a monkey riding a horse, although that would have worked better in a movie produced by The Asylum.įrom the get go I was pleasantly surprised by Rise of the Planet of the Apes. With a sorry excuse to involve "human reflections" and characters we never care about (beginning with Caroline and Will's father), this unrequired delivery certainly makes up for the level of disappointment that Burton brought a long with a remake, but utilizes the safest Hollywood escape route for cashing easy money: Rupert Wyatt offers a potential prequel for the events that followed in the previous films however, it is a bad sign to realize that the amount of entertainment this was providing me throughout was pretty much comparable to Michael Bay (actually, he has done better!) and to the bombs of the 90s by Roland Emmerich.

It made me miss the old classic days of the 60s and 70s. The overabudant CGI was too tough for me to handle and to buy in the first place. This so-called "thought-provoking" and "emotionally driven" ride has me in loss. Set in present day San Francisco, the film is a reality-based cautionary tale, a science fiction/science fact blend, where Mans experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy. "Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!"įew times I have rolled my eyes so hardly in a movie. RISE OF THE APES is an origin story in the truest sense of the term.
