A compelling reboot of the classic franchise, directed by Rupert Wyatt.

The special effects are top-notch, particularly in depicting the realistic and expressive apes, which adds to the film's emotional impact.The plot is well-paced, exploring themes of ethics in scientific experimentation, the bond between humans and animals, and the quest for freedom. With its strong performances, particularly by Serkis, and a story that captivates from start to finish, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" sets a high bar for reboots and is a must-watch for both fans of the original series and newcomers.

I’ve never seen any movies in this series. I decided to check it out now that I’m retired. Great movie. I rented this on Amazon and it was high quality, looked great on my 80 inch TV and didn’t have any problems glitching or freezing. It was at a price point I was very happy with for the amount of entertainment I got. The story got me immersed in their world and brought out a roller coaster of emotions in me. I highly recommend this movie for those who have not seen it. Definitely worth the money and time to check it out!

Plot is simple just not as good as the others.

I'm giving it 5 stars because my husband is obsessed with Apes. It's a decent movie, especially if you love apes!

We watched this as a family and my son who is an avid movie watcher of every genre loved this series and rates it at the top of one of his fav series. I would agree. The first was great as was the second and third. Definitely watch. You will enjoy even if you haven't seen the others.

I love Planet of the Apes movies; really good!

Helaas 2e deel geen Nederlandse ondertiteling

I've always liked the Planet of the Apes movies. From the originals as a child to the latest incarnations. 4k may not be so kind to the visuals of this movie but it's always had a cartoonish appeal in some scenes. It's just that the 4k upscale accentuates it. Not that that's a deterrent, it's just the way this movie was made. The HDR is probably going to be this versions highest selling point. Those flecks of green in the primates eyes looks incredible. Shadow looked exceptional from my end and the colours are well saturated and detailed. The audio although excellent, has not been given a height channel upgrade. However the movie is still mastered prior to Disney ownership and will likely be the best this movie will ever be seen or heard. I recommend this to any avid collector, fan or those looking to get into movie ownership. A great start to an entertaining franchise.
