Rise of the planet of the apes review

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 2011)

Think what happens when another specie on this planet become as intelligent as humans? Or what if that specie come out to be smarter than humans? How will the humans cope with that?
'Rise of the planet of the apes' explores these questions that nobody had dared to explore until now. In this movie, humans are testing a drug on Chimps which have made them very intelligent. Now I am not trying to reveal the whole story but for some reason, humans decide to stop production of this drug and kill all chimps involved with this experiment except... one baby chimp. The theme of the movie is based on the very successful formula of 'revolution'. But what I like about the plot is that it doesn't just focus on one theme, but mixes several themes quite well which includes moral and ethical dilemma about scientific development and the human tendency to avoid death.
===Plot vaguely revealed below=== So this baby-chimp grows out to be a very intelligent one and is named 'Caesar'. One of the things about being too smart is that you tend learn fast, you start to think, you desire of... 'freedom'. Feeling secluded from humans, 'Caesar' decides to grow his own kind to be more intelligent and 'free'. However, 'Caesar's quest doesn't compel him on killing humans. What I really admire about the plot is the reluctance of the lead ape to kill any human being until the end. This helps the script to not end in senseless killing of humans by apes, which, I was afraid the movie might fall into that kind of temptation, I am glad it didn't. So the surprising part in the movie is that 'Caesar' is not portrayed as villain, instead, he is portrayed as a leader who saves his-kind from the clutches of humans. ===Plot vaguely revealed above===
This movie is very well directed and choreographed. Story in the movie is very strong and fresh. Movie makers have tried to explore new idea that will surely attract crowds. I fell in love with the special effects of this movie that made expressions on the chimps face look very 'human-like'. These special effects are not only good, but will put you back on your feet as it tend to have a scary effect on your mind to see an ape behave like human. The way this movie ends, would suggest that we shouldn't be surprised if a sequel comes out next year.
My suggestion: If you are into sci-fi movies, you would like this.
