Will Rodman is a scientist working within a large pharmaceutical corporation, Gen-Sys, conducting genetic research to develop a benign virus that restores damaged human brain tissue. He is committed to finding a cure for Alzheimer's, a disease that afflicts his father, Charles. Will's relentless focus has precluded personal relationships, but the connection between his research and Charles' illness brings the two together, albeit under difficult heart-rending circumstances.

Action Drama Sci-Fi - This is a reboot/revival of the '70s science fiction film series aimed primarily at a male audience. Fans of James Franco should be pleased. Some intense action scenes involving angry apes may be too much for young children.
PROFANITY: 1 S-word; a few others. SEX/NUDITY: None VIOLENCE: Ape attacks; electric shocks. DRUGS/ALCOHOL: None. ACTION: Chases, fights, destruction. COMEDY: Rare comic lines and situations.
Berardinelli, Internet CriticFull Review Above Average The central problem with Rise of the Planet of the Apes is that it feels more like a piece of something larger than a complete motion picture.
Roger EbertFull Review Good Caesar, to begin with, is a wonderfully executed character, a product of special effects and a motion-capture performance by Andy Serkis,...
USA TodayFull Review Good For those special effects alone, this reboot is worth watching.

Watching" write-up for this movie.
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 111 moviegoers:
For this type of movie, these are GREAT REVIEWS! Better than half of all groups loved "Rise of the Planet of the Apes." A large portion of the remaining half rated it "Very Good," which equals above average and indicates a movie they enjoyed very much. As could be expected for this type of movie, there are a few low reviews. Usually these are the result of fans of this type of movie taking non fans to see it, who then rate it low.
