"Evolution becomes Revolution"

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2011)

During experiments to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease, a genetically-enhanced chimpanzee uses its greater intelligence to lead other apes to freedom.
Never seen the original, never seen the 2003 release. With viewing of the trailer, the movie all around looked pretty good. THAT was my intentions. With coming in, I was drawn into a movie which outcomes to a great one. The acting, quite surprisingly, wasn't that bad. Of course, not perfect either, but I was surprised that it wasn't bad. The directing was amazing! With amazing cinematography and sweet editing, I was overall very impressed. The plot was amazing as well too. No, these apes did not just randomly escape and destroy everything, but everything has it's reason. Problem is, they didn't focus much on the character development and HONESTLY, they showed the chimp Ceaser more than the humans. Then we have the ground breaker. The special effects in this movie were overall stunning! The CGI chimps were magical, and you can actually feel for them (getting up there with Pixar.) Their emotions were spot on and imagine yourself actually inserting hundreds on apes onto the screen. Another great thing, the score. I really enjoyed it because it fitted into the movie and was overall used at the right points. At times, it is soft and mellow. Then when the action scenes come in, your heart is racing to see what happens with the music making your heart pump. Then, of course, we have the flaws. Good thing is, the flaws were almost forgettable and it isn't much of a big deal. All in all, I was overall impressed. From all the components for my entertainment and discarding the flaws, overall: AMAZING MOVIE! 8/10.
