AN UNNECESSARY and boring remake halts what has been a sensational month of film in which each passing week has produced, if not a great movie, at least one worth going to see.

Forget the monkey suits from the 1970’s original, even the 2001 remake has not a patch on this newest offering which I found not just surprisingly entertaining but also emotionally touching in places. I never thought I’d say this but the Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a great watch.

1873. ARIZONA TERRITORY. A stranger (Daniel Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution do not welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). It is a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known.

A SINGLE act of both compassion and arrogance leads to a war unlike any other and a dramatic reversal of the progress of evolution.
