Starring James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow
Wow! How lifelike the apes were and how wonderful the message we shouldn’t fool with Mother Nature! We meet Will (Franco) a scientist who has invented a drug to fight Alzheimer’s disease to save his beloved father. His drug trials start off well, but go awry. After this, Will is forced to bring a baby chimp home and he and his dad become attached to the little fellow they name Caesar.
When Will’s first test fails and he is almost fired, he tries it on his father. It works. But there are side effects. The chimps take it and become super smart. The story unfolds slowly but kept me riveted. There is love in this story; the love of a son for his father, and the love of the two men for the ape who is like a son/grandson.
When things begin to go out of control, Caesar takes command. There is cruelty to animals, violence, some blood, no bad language and no sex in this movie. Rise of the Planet of the Apes is not a movie for young children as the plot is complex and the apes running wild are scary. You MUST stay for the credits as there is an important part of the story revealed there. The film is best for children 11 and up who won’t be scared by violent chimps and gorillas or the violence done to the animals.
