Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Review by Ryan Davidson
Score: 8.25/10
As far as origin stories go, this one is pretty spectacular. Rise of the Planet of the Apes follows an Ape named Caesar who goes from being raised by humans to leading an ape revolution. There aren't very many surprises in the film, as I kind of figured out what was going to happen as soon as the plot started rolling. However, this film reiterates the importance of the journey to the conclusion rather than just the conclusion itself. Caesar's character development is outstanding, as well as his character arc. Andy Serkis' performance as the leading ape is both captivating and engaging. You could say I'm very excited to follow this journey in later installments.
