Here's the full synopsis via Boxoffice9:
Set in San Francisco, a young scientist desperately searches for a way to cure his ailing father’s Alzheimer’s. He begins immediate working by testing the cure on chimpanzees. When one of his test subjects, Caesar, begins to show rapid mental evolution, the scientist takes him home to save him from cruel lab owners. As Caesar’s intelligence grows, so do his ambitions for freedom and power.”Rise of the Apes” is a prequel to 1968′s “Planet of the Apes”
I must say this trailer is pretty disappointing for me and doesn't excite me one bit. It just doesn't have the epic, world invasion feel that I was hoping for and the CGI on the apes doesn't look that convincing. Plus I'm not quite sure how a bunch of unarmed apes, no matter how many they are, can take over the world from the human race, especially with our modern military equipment and such. Not even King Kong could take us down so I'm not quite sure his smaller cousins will. I guess we'll find out when the film comes out.
What did you think of the trailer?
The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes is directed by Rupert Wyatt (The Escapist) and stars James Franco, Andy Serkis, Freida Pinto and John Lithgow. There currently isn't an official South African release date but we will inform you as soon as we find out.
