MOVIE REVIEW: The Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Heeey there.
So, I recently saw The Rise of the Planet of the Apes and I thought James Franco and Frieda Pinto were amazing together! The had such great chemistry. Their relationship was completely believable and their connection in the movie through their love for primates was so meaningful and raw.
This would be my first Movie Review. I hope it is taken with a grain of salt, as my views are not going to be yours nor are they better than anyone else's. Additionally I am not being sponsored to do this and I am sharing my 100% honest view on the movie.
I thought that the apes in the movie were excellently done. It was very seamless and didn't seem CGI to me. Obviously were but it did not look fake, other than it would be pretty damn hard to get apes to do exactly what you say for an elongated period of time.
Additionally, the storyline about Franco's father in the movie (John Lithgow) was very touching and I am sure many people could identify with the struggle. It was an honest depiction of the hurt and pain of Alzheimer disease, much like that of The Notebook. I personally have had no experience with it but I understand the feeling after the death of a parent. (blogpost on that soon to come)
A moment that stuck out to me was when Caesar (the main ape) drew with a stone the exact shape of the window he used to look out on the wall in his little cell at the primate habitat. It was so moving and honest. He missed his home, his family, and the outdoors. All he saw now was the inside of a crappy primate shelter and a tiny cell with nothing but a bunk in it.
All in all I thought it was a fantastic movie. I am not adding it to my list of favorites and may not watch it again, but I don't typically watch serious movies more than once (IDK why but I find it hard to do that).
I hope this does not offend anyone and if it does I do apologize. I did not intend to offend anyone and I never do with the posts I make. Hopefully you all remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and if you didn't like the movie write about it in a comment telling my why you didn't like it. I will most certainly read it but please don't criticize what I said, rather make your own argument for why you feel the way you do about the movie. Until next time.
xox,
