The Rise of The Planet of The Apes was, for lack of a better word, impressive. I expected very little from this, to make a prequel to a legendary series and to match the quality needed to overcome the expectations of a Planet of The Apes movie is not an easy feat.
Now if you've read my other reviews you know that if there isn't good acting I won't write about it or I generally dislike it, like The Smurfs (which didn't get it's own post because it made me sick). This movie on the other hand was awesome!!! James Franco, John Lithgow, Frieda Pinto, and Tom Felton, need I say more? Yes, they were all on their A game, James Franco continues to amaze me, he came from being the small town stoner kid on Freaks and Geeks, to the stoner weed dealer in Pineapple Express, to the brave guy stuck in a cavern for days in 127 hours. Franco showed why he is one of the top rising stars in Hollywood, he shines as he shows the emotion and intelligence needed to be the man who indirectly started the rise of the apes while trying to find the cure to Alzheimer disease. john Lithgow played Franco's father who had Alzheimer disease and Tom Felton played this little jerk kid who worked at animal protection for the apes. Felton's English accent was actually really good and convincing.
Overall this movie was really good the action was insane and the story was very well written. I would recommend this to most people except the little child who sat in the row behind me who could barely handle the emotion. Anyone who isn't a small child should be able to take it. I'm giving this a 7.5/10.
