Superb Entry

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2019)

My knowledge of Planet of the Ages franchise is basic however I thought this prequel was brilliant. The overall story is interesting and the telling of its beginning is just mesmerising. The start of Rise of the Planet of the Apes is little short of superb and emotional but the evolution of this animal as well as his character was terrifically done. I thought the CGI was also very impressive but towards the end of this movie it strayed towards silly, saving itself at the right moment. As the movie progresses you can predict where the plot line goes but the way it plays out is exciting and exhilarating enough to capture the audience opening itself up to a sequel.
