Regardless, this is the story of how Caesar, assumed future leader of the Planet of the Apes, came to be. An origin to the world Charlton Heston will eventually visit. I have read that this prequel is a series reboot akin to the most recent 'Star Trek' film, serving as an origin story that, most likely, does not fit into the original Apes cannon, but after having watched the film's behind the scenes documentaries, the writers and other filmmakers state they intend it to be a straight reboot. It's smartly written, character-focused, thematic, and, when it ultimately becomes the action film promised in the trailers, it's a bombastic, whiz bang of a good time featuring extended moments of exhilarating on-screen carnage and suspense. As written by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver and directed by Rupert Wyatt, 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' was, for me, a shining star in a summer of disappointing action tentpoles.
