I didn't know that it was a reboot, I thought it's a prequel... honestly I don’t remember much of the Mark Wahlberg's Planet of the Apes anyway, 2001 version....lets begin with it...The movie is good... the standard of movie has raised this year.. most scripts were good or had something to entertain people... there is one thing I like to mention this movie is intriguing!! at-least the first half was... I loved it...
The movie has an intelligent script.. no complications just eyes on the prize...they nicely laid the plot for a sequel too... towards the middle of the movie, you would hardly notice it, till the end of the movie... this movie doesn't bring any comedy to entertain people.. I know for sure this movie won't do good business but I am telling you its one of the best written movie I have ever seen..
Sure it doesn't has the graphics like a big action packed movie but I loved the apes, specially Caesar. He looked convincing to me, a perfect work of CGI. But I am telling you the motion capture thing is really improving with the course of Time.. another example of a nice job here.. I must compliment...
Now for the cast, James Franco he did a nice job in Spiderman series loved him 127 hrs God, he got nominated for that one... but here he did something special, he was really expressing feeling for an Ape. It was very much convincing and for Freida Pinto well i am no fan of her work and neither of her "beauty" well apart from that she did good.. I know she is just an attraction in the Movie... but I guess whatever must had been told to her she did good!!!
And John Lithgow, I love this old man!!! Trinity in Dexter and Barney's Father in How I met Your Mother, well he is Francho's Father in the movie and his role was necessary and he played to his full potential. Another thing they nicely used Tom Felton's bad boy image... he was pretty good with whatever was given to him it was not much but he did justice to it...all the characters were impressive!! I must say...
To summaries this movie was worked good not much to point out... I recommend this movie to all whether you are a fan of the old one or not.. seen it or not... this movie is different, in fact, forget the old one !!!
Rating-8/10
