All the way back in 2011, Rise of the Planet of the Apes seemed like it’d be an unremarkable but potentially solid movie. No one really knew what to make of Fox doing a prequel/reboot of the classic sci-fi series, especially since it’d already tried a decade prior with Tim Burton ’s divisive 2001 remake. That wariness persisted even through the film itself, at least until the halfway point where it’s revealed that the hyperintelligent ape Caesar has evolved to the point of actually speaking.
It’s a movie that’s likely to stick with you, least of all because it’s pretty bleak for a summer blockbuster. For every scene of relative peace between Caesar’s apes and members of a human enclave wanting to power a hydroelectric dam, the movie understands things are going to inevitably go bad. Caesar’s right hand Koba and Dreyfus over on the human side are too ready to start a fight, and Caesar and Malcolm aren’t fully prepared for that violence to start until it’s too late.
