I have seen so many movies this summer. Harry Potter, Transformers, Horrible Bosses, Bridesmaids, Super 8, etc.. But hands down, the best blockbuster this summer is Rise of Planet of the Apes starring James Franco and John Lithgow. Some may wonder why would anyone want to mess with the 1968 masterpiece with Charlton Heston, but I can tell you this: this movie gives us the detail of what happened to the planet and why the apes took over.
This flick has everything! You will cry, laugh, and even feel that you are one of the characters in the movie. The acting was fantastic and the CGI was incredible. The same CGI team did Avatar and Lord of the Rings.
This story is mostly viewed form the Ape's perspective. And let me just mention that before going to see the movie, I wasn't sure how I was feeling about "humans" loosing. But after watching the intense scenes and how horribly the apes were treated, I wanted these giant nasty orangutans to kill kill kill and kill again. But because this movie is PG 13, not a lot of killing was done, which is another reason why I found this movie to be great. It wasn't at all gory, we don't need to have lot of blood and explosions in order for this movie to be impactful.
Overall, this movie receives 5 stars out of 5!
