Rise of the planet of the apes
The 2011 film directed by Rupert Wyatt takes place during experiments to cure Alzheimer’s disease. A genetically mutated chimp uses its greater intellect to lead other apes to freedom. There are so many things right about this movie. The little things that are wrong are easily forgiven, some major plot holes but the acting and visuals suffice to say the least. Rise of the planet of the apes is a title that begs for a sequel rightfully so, with the quality of this film including the CGI chimps which were simulated flawlessly. The movie develops the notion that chimps being so close to our own genomes they would be excellent guinea pigs for the new wonder drug Alz 112 which has the unexpected result of evolving the chimps minds to become intelligent enough to play chess and use logic. The chimp is played by Andy serkis who brought golem to the lord of the rings to the big screen (and to star in the upcoming hobbit movie). In my opinion this is a great prequel to the other planet of the ape movies.
