Rise of the Planet of the Apes | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

It's unfortunate that the use of nothing but computer-generated monkeys still can't fool the human eye, never appearing entirely believable in movement or appearance.

While the human performances convince, it is Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning Weta Digital that really advances the film.

Every now and again, a film comes out and totally surprises you. Rise of the Planet of the Apes is one of those films.

A breath of fresh air, not only in the world of summer movies, but as a reboot in general.

Could have easily rested on the CGI and action and been a satisfying film, but there is heart and soul here, too -- thanks to Caesar, a fully fleshed-out and complex character.
