August 04, 2011

Directed by Rupert Wyatt and became a box office hit all over the world.

The Journey of a scientist who just want to discover a medicine to cure his father's Alzheimer's.

The best part is that when the Ape named Caesar spoke.

Stars: James Franco as scientist Will Rodman; Andy Serkis (motion-capture) as Caesar.

In San Francisco, Will develops ALZ‑112, an experimental gene therapy meant to cure Alzheimer’s, testing it on chimps at Gen‑Sys labs. When a test subject named Bright Eyes becomes aggressive and is put down, Will learns she was protecting her newborn—whom he takes home and names Caesar. Exposed to the drug in the womb, Caesar grows far more intelligent than ordinary apes, learning sign language and reasoning like a human, raised almost as a son by Will alongside his own ailing father.

As Caesar matures, he begins to question who he is and where he belongs. After an incident protecting Will’s father, Caesar is seized and confined to a cruel primate shelter, where he is mistreated and isolated. Realizing humans will never accept him as an equal, Caesar uses his intelligence and the enhanced drug to liberate the other captive apes, uniting chimps, gorillas and orangutans into a disciplined force. They break out in a spectacular escape across the Golden Gate Bridge, defeating pursuers and vanishing into the redwood forests—marking the dawn of a new, intelligent species, and the start of the rift that will one day pit ape against man.

It is a good sci-fi movie but if you carefully analyze the possibilities, there can be reality behind the story.
