I don't remember much from Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but I remembered enough for this movie to make sense. Then when it came to make sense to me I began to pay more attention to the "morals" of this particular story. The apes have taken over a particular part of a forest nearby San Francisco and there are some disputes over territory between the humans and apes. The apes just want to have the forest to themselves and be left alone by humans and more importantly, their weapons. This movie shows that there are fucked up humans just as much as there are fucked up apes. Some apes are better than others, as are some humans. I watched this film for the visual effects it is nominated for, and as far as I'm concerned so far, it won. Every ape is computer generated using motion capture and it is beautiful. Every move made by the apes is incredibly ape-like, and everything else is incredibly detailed. Gary Oldman played a good part that I honestly wish was involved more even though his character threw in some surprises to this ape/human war. A fantastic addition to the "of the Apes" franchise.
