Rise of the Planet of the Apes

[lurkerwithout]

I was..pleasantly surprised by this one. The plot/story holds up fairly well. James Franco is his normal solid self in a non-stoned role. And Andy Serkis and the other motion capture actors playing the various apes do an astounding job. I do wonder though if they ended up making the chimps too tall. At the end adult Ceasar is the same height as James Franco's character. And I have a small quibble with how lax the containment protocols are at what is supposed to be a cutting edge lab engaged in viral-delivery genecrafting work...
