Intense Prequel with Outstanding Character Development,

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2014)

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a fantastic movie with a very well developed storyline and a brilliant cast.The movie is breathtaking from start to finish,it seemed very risky to make a prequel to this franchise,especially after the disappointing remake,but it ended up to go beyond expectations.The visual effects are absolutely beautiful,it really is so hard to believe these monkeys aren't real,they look so life like and the expressions and moment in their faces are so realistic.Rise of the Planet Apes is one of the most impressive prequels there is,I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great drama or sci-fi,and fans of the previous films will certainly be impressed.
