Rise of the Planet of the Apes re-rebooted the more-than 40-year-old franchise and sets the stage for the much buzzed about Dawn of the Planet of the Apes(we liked it a lot). Based somewhat on the fourth film in the series Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), Rise of the Planet of the Apes tells the story of how tinkering with the genetic make-up of a species might just lead to humanity’s demise. A planet where apes evolved from men? Well, not exactly, if you follow the film versions of the Planet of the Apes series.
