Rise of the Planet of the Apes

In Rupert Wyatt's film, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," a super-intelligent chimpanzee, Caesar, leads a revolution of apes to freedom, escaping the torturous living environment that man has provided for the past eight years. This hyper-intelligent chimpanzee was the product of a successful experiment that scientist, Will Rodman(James Franco), had performed in order to increase the intelligence of ordinary apes. Subsequent to injecting, what he called the "113" solution, Will Rodman learned that this solution would continue to increase apes' intelligence, however, he did not know that the solution also acted as a fatal virus to humans. As a result of Will Rodman's invention, one would realize that as humans die off, apes enhance physically and mentally, which will eventually produce a world run by apes.
This movie does a superb job of beginning the classic story of a world that is controlled by apes. I am positive that there will be a sequel to this movie. A sequel, in which, the remaining of this classic story will be told.
