A Reboot done right

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2017)

Rise of the Planet of the Apes tells the story of how the human world becomes the planet of the apes for the original movie "The Planet of the Apes".
This movie shows Hollywood and the world how a reboot should be done. This movie is not an exact re-hash of the original, it is a total different story that takes place in the same world as the first one. I just love how they were able to create this story that compliments the original movie and is still its own movie.
The CGI in the movie is amazing. The main character of "Caesar" looks very realistic and Andy's performance really sells it. The rest of the apes also look amazing.
The performances in the movie are very good and every actor did their best.
The whole idea and story-line of the movie is very entertaining and it explains very clearly how the apes became so smart.
Still, I do believe that this movie has some narrative problems. The movie feels like two different movies actually, the first act and the middle of the second feels different from the other half of the second act and third act.
Also the movie had some clear clichés. Like the assh*le who mistreats the animals and the "bad businessman". The movie also has some difficulty when the ape and James Franco talk, because James has to repeat everything the ape says through sign language so the audience can understand.
In the end, it is a fun movie with a great third act and the perfect start for this Planet of the Apes trilogy.
