Reviews
Wall Street Journal - Judged, though, as the action extravaganza it means to be, Rise of the Planet of the Apes wins high marks for originality, and takes top honors for spectacle., Los Angeles Times - Smart, fun and thoroughly enjoyable, it's a model summer diversion that entertains without insulting your intelligence., The New Yorker - By far the best spectacle movie of the season, and one of the few films to use digital technology for nuanced dramatic effect.
