Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Andy Serkis

CGI, button-pushing movie. Slow to get going, once it kicked in the action was irresistible. The manipulation was crude and obvious...it's easy to see why it has been so popular with teens. More a comic book than literature like Boule's seminal novel.

That said...the action sequences were stunning...an extremely impressive display of just what they're capable of doing these days. The only limit now is in the imagination of the filmmaker.

Satisfying junk.
