Rise of the Planet of the Apes Blu-ray (PG-13)
Movie: 3 1/2 out of 4 stars
Disc: 3 1/2 out of 4 stars
Coming in just a hair short of the first installment from 1968 in the shock-value/social commentary departments, this origin/prelude far outdistances it in terms of technical prowess and intensity. After a decade of painfully finding its sea legs, motion-capture finally hits full-stride thanks largely in part to the otherworldly performance from Andy Serkis who provides the motion and audio for Caesar, a genius primate who sets in motion the revolution that will lead to the overthrow of the human race. This is thinking-person's sci-fi action at its most sublime.
