Rise of the Planet of Apes
This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.
This prequel to "The Planet of the Apes" explains how the apes got so smart. A scientist (James Franco), whose father (John Lithgow) has Alzheimer's, is researching for a cure through lab tests with chimps. Of course, thing go very wrong when one ape, Caesar, starts to outwit the humans and leads a simian revolt. The motion capture technique is amazing and especially effective in conveying the facial expressions. The apes are the stars of this film. It's a good start to a possible series of films. Just don't leave your seat too soon or you'll miss the hint to what may happen next.
Alien gives it 3 "Muir Woods" stars out of 4.
