An origin story in the true sense of the word, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes is set in present day San Francisco. The film is a reality-based cautionary tale - a science fiction/science-fact blend where mankind's hubris leads to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy. A single act of both compassion and arrogance leads to a war unlike any other - and to the Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. Patrick Doyle, riding high with the score for Thor, chalks up another summer blockbuster.
