Three climaxes for a Prithviraj film!

Rise of the Planet of the Apes, directed by  Rupert Wyatt has been released all over the world on August 5. Here is what the monkeying business looks like on the Indian subcontinent!

Rediff goes ahead with a whopping 4 Stars: “Rise of the Planet of the Apes is no classic but, decidedly, a cut above standard summer blockbusters. It may not conceal its aspiration to rock the box office but is dignified enough to proffer credibility before staking claim. For it has several grand moments, and momentous they are, that level the thrill experienced only when watching memorable cinema.”

Daily Bhaskar adds yet another 4 Stars and says: “If you’re an animal lover, then this movie is a must watch. It’s a thrilling ride. The beautifully captured forests and Serkis’ amazing portrayal of an ape, are all are worth a watch. Watching apes at loggerheads with humanity, is a thrilling experience.”

DNAIndia goes a notch further down with half a star less, but assures that this is a fun film: “Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a reboot of the Planet of the Apes franchise, narrates the events that led to apekind eventually making a monkey out of humanity.Even though you may go in with an idea about how things might play out, the film always manages to keep you on the edge of your seat.”
