A galaxy's worth of nihilism buried within a '70s Velveeta topping, the Planet with the Apes series stands today as being a dark marvel of pop cinema, a number of wildly variable films that combine in order to create a large inescapable kiss-off towards the human race. (That said message was able to withstand such distractions as ever-cheapening makeup and Charlton Heston loudly pounding sand makes its achievements much more impressive, really.) Boasting a keen awareness of their predecessors' particular charms and a gem of an central CGI performance by Andy Serkis, Rise with the Planet of the Apes makes for a rather miraculous summer movie: a big-budget special effects extravaganza which also delivers a killer backhand. Sort of redoing 1972's Conquest from the Planet with the Apes, the film follows the events emerge motion whenever a bereaved scientist (James Franco) tries to produce a cure for Alzheimer's, resulting inside a supernaturally intelligent chimp named Caesar. That old bit about science tampering in God's domain quickly applies. Director Rupert Wyatt (The Escapist) displays an admirable sense of pacing, deftly levying the escalating action scenes with small character moments from your likes of John Lithgow and Brian Cox. That said, the film is associated with Caesar, whose path from wide-eyed innocent to reluctant revolutionary generates the ironic pulp empathy that gave the original series this kind of kick. Watching the climactic confrontation for the Golden Gate Bridge, it's distressingly an easy task to find out which side to root for. Chuck Heston would without doubt grit his teeth in approval. Note: Those skeptical that revamp could wholly support the original's doomy backbeat would prosper to hang around during the finish credits. --Andrew Wright

Rise with the Planet of the Apes is really a revolution; an action-packed epic featuring stunning visual effects and creatures unlike anything experienced before. At the story's heart is Caesar (Andy Serkis), a chimpanzee who gains human-like intelligence and emotions from an experimental drug. Raised as being a child with the drug's creator (James Franco), Caesar ultimately finds himself taken in the humans he loves and imprisoned. Seeking justice, Caesar assembles a simian army and escapes -- putting man and primate on the collision course that may change the planet forever.
