Rise of the Planet of the Apes [Blu-ray]

One word: WOW! Oh My, words cannot describe how amazing these movies are! The Planet of the Apes Rebooted Trilogy stands as one of the greatest movie trilogies of all time. All 3 movies are perfect. I can't speak for the box set as its not released yet but as for the films:RISE of the Planet of the Apes - A brilliant, clever re-invention of the Apes franchise, the plot is amazing, the characters are all well done and it doesn't stray from focusing on Caesar, and the end is EPIC!DAWN of the Planet of the Apes - An even more impressive continuation after RISE. The plot revolving the human characters is basic, but you have great drama and conflict, when the finale hits its enthralling. There are some brilliant emotional moments also.WAR For the Planet of the Apes - A Fantastic conclusion to Caesar's story. In the words of Woody Harrelson's Colonel, "So emotional!" Haha. In all seriousness its a superb movie with so many emotional moments. its not as action packed as the title would suggest but don't let that throw you cause there is some action. Its a great character piece. I love the callbacks to the original film of 1968. Its dark, brutal and emotionally satisfying and it has a masterful music score.All 3 films are visually stunning and some of the most dramatic movies of the 21st century, other filmmakers should take note from Rupert Wyatt and Matt Reeves, these are masterpieces. Highly recommended not to be missed and these 3 films top the other 6 Apes movies, yes even the original 1968 movie. All 3 I would score a 10/10 not to be missed! If you haven't seen these films you are missing out!

This trilogy may be the finest in recent years. Engrossingly complex characters, impeccable visual effects and the stories that span these three films make this package a true gem in any collection. All the talent behind every aspect of this movie have really revelled in the art of filmmaking; and this package offers the cohesive viewing of each movie incredibly entertaining. The hours of bonus features are also very enlightening and a wonder for all the fans.If, like me, you’re scrolling through the reviews wondering if this is the collection you’re looking for, you found it.

I had seen the 60s original and one of the lesser follow ups. But then deliberately missed everything else due to the ongoing poor sequels.Noticing the most recent triple box set on blu ray staring Andy Serkis, I thought I'd give it a go.I was wowed by its realism, Andy's performance and that of all others in the building blocks and execution of an all out brilliant series of scripts and productions.Clearly most of the film presentation was in post production, but the over all set up and fantastically thought through story caught on camera is nothing short of astounding.Highly moving, beautifully crafted, outstandingly told story, from the perspective of lead character, Caeser.Production: 5⭐Directing: 5⭐Acting: 5⭐SPXF: 5⭐Best triple series of films I have ever seen along with Lord of the Rings. And definitely an amazingly brilliant set of prequals that lead up to the original 60s movie.

Just been to the cinema to watch the final one in the trilogy and wanted to catch up on the story! There is something well done about this film, it somehow pulls off a great reboot of the franchise and mixes in a believable contemporary scenario of creating an intelligence enhancing drug designed to combat Alzheimer's and touches on animal welfare issues underneath. It manages to deal with emotions of prejudice, abandonment and isolation well, Caesar emerges from slave to servant to lord, the most powerful scene is him refusing to leave his cell and abandon his people - almost biblical! It is slightly cheesy in parts but pushes all the right buttons for a good watch. Technically it was groundbreaking with the use of motion tracking.

This is the beginning of a trilogy that holds up well, and the story is beautiful. I'm not a fan of James Franco as an actor, he's dull and very irritating to watch, but thankfully he's only in this first one and not given a huge amount of screen time to take away from the rest of a great cast. Andy Serkis is just a masterpiece in any performance he does, so this is a brilliant movie and I needed it in BluRay as I only had the DVD years ago. It now is up there with Dawn and War now in my BluRay collection.
