RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES combines fantastic storytelling with the next leap in Visual Effects for an emotional and action-packed motion picture experience unlike any other. Man’s arrogance sets off a chain of events that leads to intelligence in apes and a challenge to our place as the dominant species on the planet. Caesar, the first intelligent ape, is betrayed by humans and rises up to lead his species’ spectacular race to freedom and the ultimate showdown with Man. In Caesar, WETA - the Oscar-winning visual effects team behind Avatar – have created a CGI ape that delivers a dramatic performance of unprecedented emotion and intelligence.

Man learns a harsh lesson about meddling with Mother Nature in Rupert Wyatt's splendid new chapter in the Planet Of The Apes saga, based loosely on the novel by Pierre Boulle. Drawing elements from different films in the original series made famous by Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter and Charlton Heston, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes takes advantage of the latest technological wizardry to deliver a thrilling action adventure that doesn't skimp on heartbreaking emotion. It's all a far cry from Tim Burton's abortive 2001 remake of the original film - a creatively ambitious but structurally muddled folly doomed to failure the moment Mark Wahlberg was cast in the lead role.
