Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2011)

this movie wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. i thought the whole movie would be war, action much like transformers 2. which was a joke but this movie wasn't. rise of the planet of the apes is about a scientist named will rodman (James Franco) who discovers a cure for Alzheimer's and experimenting the medicine on apes. when there is one ape that they can use to cure Alzheimer, the ape goes crazy. jumps into a meeting will is having to get more money to put his experiment into action and security shoots the ape. now they have to restart and convince the same people to invest in there company even though a ape almost killed them. when he goes back into the apes holding box, they find under the bed a baby chimp. the ape went crazy only to defend her son. will takes him in and his father Charles rodman (john lithgow) loves him immediately by the way will father Charles has Alzheimer's. and the ape is named ceaser and stays there in wills home for 7 years doing more research on ceaser to find the cure. and he does, gives it to his father but then comes back sometime later. Charles gets confused and drives his neighbors car into 2 other cars. now the neighbor confront Charles and starts getting hostile with him. ceaser don't like that gets out of the house and tackles the neighbor to defend Charles. hes put into a place where all apes go and ceaser starts to get mad that will hasn't got him yet. will has been trying to get ceaser out but cant. will quits on his project and focuses on getting ceaser home. but ceaser and the other apes escape by using the medicine will used to make ceaser the smart ape he is. its a fun, action thriller that moves you in many ways. it makes you have different emotions. sometimes you laugh, you cry, you get anxious, get worried. its not as predictable as you might think. also James Franco was excellent in his role as the will rodman and john lithgow, even though hes a comedian he shows a more dramatic side to him and is also excellent. this is a movie not to be missed. i say, see it.
