Story: | 
Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a completely new take on one of the most
beloved and successful franchises. Oscar-winning visual effects house
WETA Digital - employing certain of the groundbreaking technologies
developed for AVATAR - have rendered, for the first time ever in the
film series, photo-realistic apes rather than costumed actors. 
This is an origin story in the truest sense of the term. Set in present
day San Francisco, the film is a reality-based cautionary tale, a science
fiction/science fact blend, where man's own experiments with genetic
engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the
onset of a war for supremacy.
