Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Really enjoyed the Apes. This is a prequel to the other Apes movies and is a great reboot to the franchise.

This movie shows how the monkeys are being tested for a cure to Alzheimer's. The idea is to get parts of the brain that quit working because of the disease to start working again. They test the medicine on the monkeys and they begin to get smarter. They are ready to show the world their product when one of the monkeys goes crazy and is killed. They think that the medicine is responsible for her going crazy, so they are ordered to kill all the monkeys and shut down the program. When the man with the order to kill all the monkeys goes into do this deed, he finds a baby monkey which was the baby of the the monkey that went crazy. She was just being protective of her baby when she went crazy. This baby goes home with the lead scientist and grows into an Ape with the medicine past down from his mother. He begins to do amazing things, but, of course, things go a little crazy once he gets full grown.

Great prequel and great special effects make this a can't miss. I've never been a fan at all of the other Apes movies, but this one is worth it. 4 M&Ms
