No me llamaba nada la atención esta película, pero la verdad es que se la han currado, creando una historia interesante, digna de verse (aunque difícilmente merece otro visionado), con unos efectos visuales muy currados, sobre todo en el simio protagonista, y con una historia que sube de interés y de intensidad conforme avanza, hasta el épico final.

Intriguing... It's fascinating when a film based on animals keeps animals in the centre of the story instead of meddling in human characters too much. It keeps the balance between humans and apes' fictional portrayal. The way it metaphorically addressess its themes of racism and revolutionism feels authentic towards its depiction. The VFX-CGI has been meticulously maintained for the believable experience of the film. The subtle details in apes' movements was really impressive. The performances are good especially the motion capturing performance of Andy Serkis, he's remarkable.

literally the most underrated trilogy of all time

•A baby ape gets adopted by a scientist named Will Rodman (played by James Franco). Who because of a rejected substance meant to help humans with Alzheimers, develops advanced intelligence unlike ever seen before, that could tare him so tar as leading an ape uprising. •Ceaser's journey is what truly makes this movie stand out, his character in this movie creates such an immense presence in each scene that he is in, a presence that only a few can replicate.

Rupert Wyatt's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is a sci-fi action film that follows a scientist named Will Rodman (James Franco), who is attempting to create a cure for Alzheimer's. He tests his new model on an ape, which increases its intelligence. These genes pass through to the ape's son, Caesar (Andy Serkis), who Will takes in as a pet. Rating: 4.5/5 Wow. What a way to kick off the modern Planet of the Apes trilogy. This film has all of the tools needed to be a modern-day classic, and it uses each of them nearly to perfection. A well written story, memorable characters, and beautiful sequences of action. I mean, the fact that it tells such a good story with well-built ape characters that don't speak tells you all you need to know. I mean, seriously, I don't know how they did it, but they made me fall in love with all the major apes without having them say a word. This film is just brilliant filmmaking on display, and I am in love with it. On the other hand, one thing I don't love about this film is some of the minor pacing issues. I think the biggest one is that it takes a while to get going and to make me really care about what's going on. There's just a lot of exposition going on and it can begin to drag on after some time, so just know going in that it may take awhile, but it will pick up, and when it does, it is close to perfect. The film also has some solid visual effects. I was iffy on the CGI for young Caesar, but I feel like it got better as he aged and all the other apes looked great, too. The big, epic action scene near the climax of the film also had some great effects. You can tell they used the $90 million dollar budget well here. We get some really nice performances as well. Andy Serkus does the mo-cap for Caesar, and he is great. His expressions and movements alone really make me feel for his character. James Franco and John Lithgow also deliver superb performances. Even with all of them, I think one of the best actors in this film is Tom Felton as one of the antagonists named Dodge. He plays such a nasty character so well, and I was rooting against him the whole time. Overall, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was an amazing start to this trilogy, and it left me wanting more, so I am very excited to check out its sequel soon.

Did RISE become the BLUEPRINT on how to not only properly reboot a franchise but make it better than any previous entry before? I'd say so

Aunque es un gran inicio de franquicia puede que la historia para unos no es tan genial. En lo personal es un buen reinicio

Don’t watch this movie on acid.

This is such a cool movie. I would recommend watching StoryStreet’s YouTube video on this movie since it reveals just how much depth is fit into this movie about apes. Caesar is one of the best characters to be made in recent film history, and he is the driving force behind every good part of the movie. Watching him go from child to leader of the apes, practically entirely without dialogue, is a marvel to behold. Every cog in his mind that you see turning just builds to the third act which may be one of the most epic things I’ve seen in a while. Every scene in that third act has so much catharsis behind them that you feel like you’re right there in the battle. James Franco is decent enough as the human character, but Andy Serkis shows why he is one of the finest actors of our time. Even behind cgi motion capture, you see so much emotion on Caesar’s face and in his movements that I fully believe he deserved award recognition for his performances as Caesar. Maurice is a beloved character and is the most wholesome guy in this whole series. I kinda wish Koba was in it more, but I get why he’s just kind of a plot device than real character. Such an epic movie, led by one of the best characters in film, played by one of the best actors in the business. A worthy applause from me for sure.

7/10 The CGI for Caesar and the other apes really is quite impressive. It’s difficult to get CGI to work with characters or animals that have hair, like an ape, but Caesar always carries weight in the scenes he’s in, thanks in part to the use of motion capture. What’s something so smart about the apes’ designs, though, is that the VFX artists made a clear, but important distinction between the intelligent apes and the normal ones through the look of their eyes. Patrick Doyle’s score may be a bit cliché, but it does add to the film. The rapid arpeggiation employed in many of the themes speaks to the rapid evolution Caesar and the other apes undergo throughout the film. The quick pacing of this film has a ripple effect on the rest of the writing. Caesar and Will get enough attention, but many other characters are left barely developed to accomplish this. Caroline is a prime example. She gets the thesis of her character out without the beats to support it, and, as such, feels flat. Jacobs is the same way. Additionally, the time jumps in the first act can be rather jarring, and the ending wraps up far too quickly. Most of the actors in the film give rather flat performances as a result. Andy Serkis provides easily the most engaging performance of the movie, and he has about four words of dialogue behind the CGI of Caesar. The action of the third act is certainly compelling, though. It’s tense, since you’ll actually care about Caesar at that point in the film, and it’s been set up what the humans are willing to do to stop the apes.

this movie was top-notch. Cesar is badass.
