Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)

Director: Rupert Wyatt
Writers:  Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Pierre Boulle (Book)
Cast:      James Franco, Andy Serkis, Frieda Pinto
During experiments to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease, a genetically enhanced chimpanzee uses its greater intelligence to lead other apes to freedom.

The apes and their story are handled with good emotions. The CGI and performance of Andy Serkis is great as Ceaser. The human characters lack depth and the initial experiment scenes are laughable. The last 30 minutes of the film is excellent. Overall its good but not nearly as good as its sequel 'Contagion', if you know what I mean:-)

Rating: 3/5
