A thought provoking blockbuster!

Rating: 8/10 (15 November 2011)

This film really makes you think, not in the whole animal hugging type way, but in a way of following the main characters. Ceaser, the ape who starts the whole riot, shows that actions speak louder than words. For the audience have to watch Ceaser and try and "read his mind", so to speak. The whole development of the rise is very well done, not to fast and not to slow in pace. The human characters are also a joy to watch, James Franco and Freida Pinto are really good in this film. Tome Felton? meh (good thing he's not the main character) the rest worked really well in the film. Don't expect the whole world to be overtaken by apes in this one film but expect to see the beginning of the growth of the apes domination over the whole world. It's only the beginning, i'd be surprised to see if there were to be no Ape sequels.
