    Trailer

    Description

    Director Rupert Wyatt brings this action-packed blockbuster standing as a prequel to the popular Planet of the Apes series, starring Brian Cox (Manhunter), John Lithgow (3rd Rock from the Sun, Shrek) and Oscar nominee James Franco (Spider-man, 127 Hours).

    Father and Son, Charles and Will Rodman (Lithgow, Franco) are two ambitious and extremely intellectual scientists from San Francisco. Their lives revolve around their work and all of their time is spent in the laboratory.

    Their latest experiment involving a chimp named Caesar (Andy Serkis), has seen the two spend many years in the lab and they finally think that the hard work is about to pay off. With Caesar becoming more and more advanced by the day, there is a great risk that their genetic engineering has gone too far and Caesar is growing too intelligent.

    Realising his own incredible strength, physically and psychologically, Caesar now sets out on a mission to lead an uprising of apes to take over mankind. Being the only people that truly know Caesar and what he’s capable of, can Charles and Will put a stop to Caesar’s reign of terror before it’s too late? (Matt Fairfield)

    Fantastic!

    I wasn't sure about Rise of the Planet of the Apes but I loved it. Brilliantly made with great effects and a gripping storyline. The storyline was fast moving and it was surprisingly believable! Well worth it!

    Going Ape For The Franchise

    If you're a fan of the Planet of the Apes franchise then you'll love this. Full of nods and winks to the first film it successfully avoids the pitfalls that the less-than-popular Tim Burton version fell into. A reboot that starts with a logical set-up, an emotional hook - thanks to the acting of Andy Serkis, and a gripping yet fulfilling last act which nicely shows the inevitable divide between man and ape and sets itself up for a possible and welcome sequel. For a pre-apocalyptic film, the warmth and understanding that developed between Ceaser and James Franco's character makes for a peculiarly upbeat viewing.
