A great start to a remarkable series

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2011)

This is how it really started. By using genetic engineering to enhance brain cells from disabling diseases, a scientist James Franco (Spiderman) ultimately creates in an ape, the ability to have its own cognitive abilities. Ceasar, who is the main protagonist, is subject to its mother who carried the mutant gene. Now, with each growing day, his intelligence grows to match that of man. Wanting the freedom that all creatures need. Yet to do so, he recruits his own brethren by using a newly developed serum which gave Ceasar his abilities. By sneaking into the lab which bore him. Now, with a clear plan, he gets his new army to back him up by staving off the city police, plus countless others who stand in his way. Yet the serum only works in the apes, to introduce it to humans would be deadly. Will Rodman (James Franco) understands now that the serum has no affect on the primate immune system, and thus now is an entire army which is to be exterminated by the humans. This is now going in the right direction with a new film in the works. Battle for the planet of the apes, with Caesar at the helm. The timing couldn't be more perfect. This way Caesar and his kin can perpetuate quickly, to build even more recruits to pass on the genes. Which will ultimately lead to the last film. Planet of the apes. What was even more surprising, is that Caesar spoke close to the end of the film. I suppose the self education is what people should look at. And how Caesar uttered, Ceasar is home. A great beginning to one of the most popular genres to date.
