The first installment of the prepositional saga.
After watching Tim Burton's 2001 reboot of the Planet of the Apes, i was so disappointed by the ending because it left way, way, way too many questions without even a trace of an answer. It was irritating and it made a mediocre movie terrible especially since it didn't have a sequel to answer any questions.
But I'm not reviewing that flop in this post. Instead, I'm taking a look at ROTPOTA. The story follows Will Rodman and his scientific experiments to find a cure to decaying brain diseases. He tests his solution on a baby chimp named Caesar. Foreshadow much?
As we know from the lengthy title, this is the first installment of a series that features the rise of an ape civilization here on Earth. The film concludes with the apes retreating to the redwood forest in northern California, hinting that this is only the beginning of their civilization that will eventually overtake planet Earth.
The film was not necessarily enjoyable to watch. As a human, I don't want to see us get overrun by an animal evolutionarily inferior. The film has little resolution, so it may be a better idea to watch all of the films together in succession if and when they are released. Conclusion: Pass On It
Rating: 6.75/10
