Planet of the Apes Become a Legend [2011]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)
An origin story set in present day San Francisco, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy



The 2011 version of this ‘Ape rising’ movie will try and correct the wrongs of the previous failure led by Mark Wahlberg. Director Rupert Wyatt is trying to bring the franchise back to the basics, and he is capable of doing so.

So this is really a prequel, which is sort of cool in a way because the story was a little cloudy to be honest. A scientist (played by Franco) is experimenting on a chimpanzee (named Caesar) in order to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Caesar gets smarter from the experiments and, the little buggers go crazy.. taking over the planet with high IQ’s and power..

You know the rest…
