Rise of the Planet of the Apes
USA 2011, 105 minutes
Dir. Rupert Wyatt
Rating: [M]
Genres: Science Fiction / Animal Amok
“An eye-popping, involving summer movie that manages to layer thoughtful substance with the lively action.”
Aroview: A thought-provoking prequel to the PLANET OF THE APES legacy, set during the present day where a genetically-enhanced chimpanzee uses its increased intellect to rise above its human oppressors.
Unlike the abortive Tim Burton "re-imagining" of a decade prior, the clean slate approach to the material delivers an efficient and crisply entertaining thriller of the 'science slip' variety, though it was never going to approach the impact of the 1968 original - one of the all-time sci-fi greats.

2 stars (Good Try) Takes an age to get going then follows the normal routine action genre. ~Tubbs
3 stars (Good Enough) Better than average blockbuster. Cheesy characterisation & story beats are compensated for by eerily affecting humanity in CG apes. ~Toby Dammit
