Rise of the Planet of the Apes
 August 6, 2011
A cross between E.T. and Resident Evil, Rise ofthe Planet of the Apes is a cute, cuddly chimpstory that morphs into The Great Ape Escape. Ifonly the ape leader grabbed a motorcycle andjumped some barbed wire
, then you’d have a
great movie here!
 
One Word Movie Review: Good
 Rise of the Planet of the Apes
is aprequel to the classic sci-fi cheese-festcalled
 Planet of the Apes
starringCharlton Heston. That movie startedwith the premise that evolution passedus by and another
“
opposable thumbs
”
 species (human-like apes with rubberfaces) took over our planet. It was acool idea to riff off Charles Darwinalthough the actual details about how, why and when
all that happened wasn’t explained clearly
- untilnow.Now we know the rise of the apes as world rulerswas our own damn fault (yes, you kinda knew that,
didn’t you?). We humans can be damn stupid some
times, especially humans running corporations whosee big profits by accelerating the drug trials of a
smart cure for Alzheimer’s disease.

So, before you can say ALZ-112, the drug is out of the bag and we have the set-up for Racoon City andthe dreaded Umbrella corporation all over again. Butfirst, we have the cute chimp baby coming home to
 play with grandpa (our lead scientist’s dad, who
suffers fr
om, guess…yes, Alzheimer’s disease).
Soon, we have human trials of 112 on Grandpa andquality time with baby chimp being so adorable
you’d just want to hug him all damn day. But
chimps grow up and become aware of how humansuse them as lab rats and we have the inevitableconflict between oppressor and victim.San Franscisco provides the foggy setting (so we canget the fog covering our apes escape against themassed police force). The apes go ape-shit once theyget drugged into a higher intelligence level andrealize just how poorly they are being fed. Christ,are there cookies in this world? Give me one!By making the chimps so human, the sympathy fromthe audience kicks in big time as the mistreatmentramps up on these cute little chimps and we startrooting for the beasts to escape and be free. Heywhere have you gone, Jane Goodall. She would beproud of her gorilla primate in this movie.So we now know how we lost
“
top
ape”
status in our
world. No, it wasn’t political or nuclear, but greedy
corporate profit that killed the beast (i.e. homosapiens).

I just paid $23,98 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $37,59 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $677 which only cost me $72,13 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, FineCent. com

Planet of the Apes topped US box offices this weekend. So is it really any good?
