Rise of the Planet of the Apes | comment |
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a 2011 film directed by Rupert Wyatt that serves as a reboot of the Planet of the Apes franchise unrelated to both the 1968 and 2001 films' respective continuities. The film is a loose remake of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes and tells the origin of a new Planet of the Apes universe with a new take on the backstory to the original films, with notable and prominent use of Serkis Folk (with Andy Serkis himself playing Caesar) to portray the apes. James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton and David Oyelowo also star.Will Rodman (Franco) is a scientist attempting to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease, fueled by the desire to cure his father Charles (Lithgow) of the illness. He finds incredible results with the experimental virus-based drug ALZ-112: "Bright Eyes", a female chimpanzee injected with the drug, becomes more intelligent soon after the drug takes effect. Will believes the time is right to fund human testing — but during his pitch to potential backers, Bright Eyes inexplicably goes berserk and gets gunned down in the middle of the meeting.Fortunate to still have his job afterwards, Will soon finds out that Bright Eyes had just given birth, and she became aggressive as an instinctive attempt to protect her child. Will saves the young chimp from euthanasia, names him Caesar, and takes him home. The ape immediately displays intelligence beyond his years (and species), which proves he inherited his mother's enhanced intelligence. Through Caesar, Will hopes to keep his work alive — but as Caesar grows older, a chain of events leads him on the path to self-realization and an eventual uprising.A prequel comic mostly focusing on Bright Eyes was put out as a webcomic/free digital comic in the weeks leading up to the movie's release.Two sequels, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes, were released in 2014 and 2017 respectively. Both were directed by Matt Reeves. A third Distant Sequel set hundreds of years after the outbreak, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, was released in 2024 and is directed by Wes Ball.Trailers: First trailer, second trailer, international trailer. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
Rise of the Planet of the Apes / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: A blink-and-you'll-miss-it example, but the crude sketch of the window in the Rodman's attic that Caesar drew on the wall of his cage in the San Bruno Pound to comfort himself later shows up rather ominously on a highway marker overlooking the Bay Valley skyline when Caesar and his band of apes break out of the San Bruno pound, as though it were graffiti left by a gang marking their territory. The similarity between the animal sanctuary and a prison however is overt, and even lampshaded by Dodge when he brings his friends to visit. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
Rise of the Planet of the Apes / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Apes cannot speak human languages because of the different structures of their vocal cords, not cognitive capacity... but then we wouldn't have two of the most powerful moments in the film, would we? This is best seen in real life as there have been several cases of chimps and gorillas successfully being taught human language but through sign language instead of verbal communication. Apes are incapable of throwing with the distance and accuracy shown in the film. The reason that our shoulders are so different from those of apes is believed to be because we evolved to throw weapons, such as spears and rocks, to deadly effect. The drugs had an instantaneous effect on the brain. Neurogenesis is an inherently slow process, with overly fast neurogenesis causing death. Which becomes a nice plot point when ALZ-113 proves deadly to humans. That said where do all the new brain cells in the Chimps go, given their far smaller braincases? The apes who become intelligent are from different species which have very different degrees of intelligence in nature, ape species being different between them as they are different from humans, yet ALZ-113 makes them all similarly smart. There is also the fact that humans are just another species of ape, if there is a chemical that transforms all form of ape then it would affect humans similarly. While humans have had varying levels of success teaching other primates to sign, Maurice displays a level of intelligence far beyond his real-world counterparts (even before he is enhanced by ALZ-113). He is capable of holding full conversations with Caesar, asking questions, and understanding Caesar's use of broken sticks to symbolize "apes together strong". | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
Rise of the Planet of the Apes / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer suggest that the ape horde Caesar leads are trying to violently conquer the whole planet, when in the actual film they're just trying to escape from captivity, generally only responding violently as a reaction to humans trying to hurt them. Another thing the trailers omit is any of the primates talking, making it seem like it might be a departure from past entries in the series. While it is a departure in some regards, Caesar does speak during the film, starting with his Big "NO!". | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
Rise of the Planet of the Apes / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Will drops the ball many times. He doesn't fess up about taking the cure home and its effect on his father until his father is starting to relapse. He doesn't fess up and point out that one of the test apes intelligence is off the charts. Despite knowing the intelligence level of Caesar, and knowing full well there are children out in the street Will doesn't have "the talk" with him. Perhaps if Caesar had used his sign language to let Will know the reality of the primate facility — and that he wasn't being kept in that prettily painted, toy-filled cage, Will might have gotten him out sooner. And perhaps if Will had taken time to explain WHY he couldn't take Caesar home — that the courts were forcing him not to but that he was working all out to get past that — perhaps Caesar would have felt less betrayed and abandoned by his human friend. | |

Will's Cure version 2.0 allows Caesar to smarten the other apes and cause an uprising which kills at least four people. Worse, because Jacobs refused to ensure no side effects would occur to humans, ALZ-113 ends up dooming the whole human race, although probably not in the way one would expect. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Caesar. While he seems fine with certain people dying, he is clearly not kill-happy. He jumps in and stops the apes from killing one of the guards at the ape-facility, stops Buck from killing a police officer, and while he personally kills Dodge, he is clearly shocked by it. Besides, it's more an accident caused by Dodge's stupidity than anything else. See Too Dumb to Live below for an exact explanation. | |

Karmic Butt-Monkey: Hunsiker. Every scene involves him suffering one way or another. We never get to see the guy in a good mood because of this. Though if your reaction to everything is extreme violence and anger, this quickly becomes Laser-Guided Karma and make you a Very Punchable Man. Especially notable in the scene where he confronts Franklin. Yes, he was trying the doors to the neighbor's house, but calling the cops and keeping an eye on the situation would probably be a better bet than getting directly in the suspicious person's face to do a citizen's arrest out of Irrational Hatred of his neighbors, especially when it's not your house. | |

Actor Allusion: Colonel Stryker is seen in the trailer saying, "They're not people, you know." Draco Malfoy doesn't seem too friendly towards the non-humans, either, all the way down to his asserting power by wielding a wand stun baton. Biting off someone's finger again, are we, Gollum? Andy Serkis as another ape, no less (if smaller and smarter), let alone in another movie that features an angry gorilla tackling human aircraft. John Lithgow becomes friends with a primate. Again. | |

In reality, she would be captured as a baby after all the adults in her troop are slaughtered, smuggled out, and probably traded multiple times as a pet before being acquired by Gen Sys, all while being abused by her sucessive owners, most likely. Poachers don't bother with capturing wild adult chimpanzees because they are too strong and combative, and a corporation like Gen Sys would be under too close monitoring to import wild chimpanzees from Africa to the United States (which is banned). Of course, such a story would probably deserve its own movie, and the writer would have to figure out a way to make Bright Eyes pregnant. | |

Rise of the Planet of the Apes / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: Caesar is this trope. His whole revolution is predicated on him using his advanced intelligence and the apes' natural strengths and abilities to thwart the humans with every dirty trick in the book. Getting around the roadblock on the Golden Gate Bridge by climbing the struts under it, hurling ordinary objects with massive strength to disable vehicles, using handy fog to get close enough to entrenched humans to bring the apes' superior strength and toughness into play, and so on. At one point, Caesar lures Rocket into the main room of the refuge center and then hits him in the head with a metal gas can as he's coming out of the gate. And then threatens to sic Buck on him. | |

Timeskip: Three major ones occur within the 105-minute timespan of the film. The first occurs during the Distant Prologue, or at least the distant prologue presented in in Bright Eyes' flashback, creating an undetermined amount of time between when she was captured and brought to the Gen Sys laboratories. Two more timeskips occur after that, whittling down 8 years of Caesar's life into 40-70 minutes. | |

Meaningful Name: Obviously Caesar, as the military and political genius. Koba, the first successful test subject for ALZ-113. "Koba" was also the code name of Joseph Stalin, which the Georgian based on Robin Hood-type character from a local book, The Patricide. Charles Rodman may be named after Charles Darwin, who is known for contributing to the theory of evolution, a theme in this film. All of the apes had names based on the names of the actors from the original film series or crew members that worked on the original film series. Alzheimer's victim Charles Rodman, references Charlton Heston, star of the original Planet of the Apes movie, who went public with his diagnosis of Alzheimers. | |

Idiot Ball: Will. When your father has advanced Alzheimer's, it's generally not a good idea to leave him alone in the house while you're at work. Double for Hunsiker, who apparently leaves the door of his sports car unlocked and open, with keys in the ignition, on a regular basis. Gen*Sys not immediately quarantining Franklin after he inhales the untested ALZ-113, or building their large-animal testing lab out of anything but glass, even after a disastrous, project-wrecking ape escape during a board meeting. None of the scientists had any idea Bright Eyes was pregnant? On that note. Creating holding cells for the apes which have dark areas which the scientists cannot see into. If Will would have told his boss everything during the five years of his father's miraculous recovery, ALZ-112 would have been Jacobs's blockbuster drug, millions of Alzheimer patients would have gotten their lives back, and Caesar might have been invited to talk shows. Aerosolizing the ALZ-113 in the first place. It makes dosage control all but impossible and the only reason for it seems to be because the plot requires it. The police helicopter, after seeing the apes climb to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge and hide in the fog, don't bother to warn the officers at the north end that they might be attacked from above. Similarly, none of the humans in the bridge confrontation even considered that the apes might be moving or attacking from the underside. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Will's Cure version 2.0 allows Caesar to smarten the other apes and cause an uprising which kills at least four people. Worse, because Jacobs refused to ensure no side effects would occur to humans, ALZ-113 ends up dooming the whole human race, although probably not in the way one would expect. Will's father refusing the ALZ-113 treatment, in an odd way. Yes, it would have killed him, but they'd potentially have had warning about the side effects earlier and may have been able to curtail the epidemic. | |

Establishing Character Moment: Koba's introduction sequence has his repeatedly holding out his hand to get more food. The ape has learned Greed...foreshadowing his dark nature, hinted at in this film but emphasized directly in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
Rise of the Planet of the Apes / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: It's unknown what becomes of Caroline after the battle on the Golden Gate Bridge. Did she actually get arrested? Do she and Will get back together? Then again, considering that it's shown already that the human race is doomed, maybe things are better off left unknown. John Landon also vanishes from the film rather abruptly; he is last seen discovering the police watching security cam footage of his son's death at the hands of Caesar. He was supposed to reappear in the woods and accidentally shoot Will while trying to get revenge on Ceesar, but the ending was scrapped and he wasn’t seen again. | |

Dolled-Up Installment | |
Rise of the Planet of the Apes / int_89499ccf | comment |
Dolled-Up Installment: A weird one. Rick Jaffa wrote the first treatment as an original story inspired by reports of people raising primates as children in their homes and being attacked by them. It wasn't until he was finishing it that he realized that, given enough time, the situation created by the ending could very well lead to the world seen in the 1968 Planet of the Apes. So Jaffa contacted FOX, presented the story as a reboot for Planet of the Apes, and this is the result. Notably, neither Jaffa nor Silverman had seen any of the Planet of the Apes sequels until after they were commissioned by FOX to write a full script for Rise (and may not have been aware that such sequels existed beforehand). | |

A potential pharmaceutical gold mine he dumps and starts over from scratch because it wasn't permanent. Granted, his father's death messed with his judgment, but still. | |

They don't know the apes were both genetically modified and then tamed by Caesar to avoid contact with humans and containing the loose apes is virtually impossible, the only way to stop the apes' stampede is by shooting them down. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Dodge Landon. Even if Caesar wasn't aiming a hose at him at the time, what kind of idiot arms an electric prod, whilst standing in a puddle? All three ape-housing facilities that we see have the worst animal-handling policies imaginable. When testing a new virus (ALZ-113) and you see another scientist get exposed to it, do not simply assume he's okay because he says so, not bother to check him for contamination or immediately let him go home?! Congratulations, you've just doomed humanity!. Near the end of the movie, an horse-riding policeman attacking Buck, a gorilla, with nothing more than a baton. He'd be killed if Caesar didn't stop Buck. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? | |
Rise of the Planet of the Apes / int_bce16d24 | comment |
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Sort of. Despite making short work of the California Highway Patrol, the apes never seem to bother to take their guns despite having numerous opportunities to do so. Plus, sending the cops in with bats rather than guns once they make it to the bridge. | |

Hope Spot: For Will when he sees the initial cure work on his father. However, anti-bodies eventually develop to fight the cure and the Alzheimer's comes back with a vengeance. Serves as a bit of Shown Their Work, since this is generally the final outcome of most Alzheimer's treatments in real life (the ones that work at all, anyway). | |

Shout-Out | |
Rise of the Planet of the Apes / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Several of them. At one point, Caesar is constructing a model of the Statue of Liberty, which was featured in the Twist Ending of the first film. Will Rodman was named after Michael Wilson and Rod Serling, who wrote the screenplay for the 1968 film. His name (possibly by coincidence) sounds similar to Will Robinson, the geneticist in Terry Hayes' 1996 screenplay Return of the Apes. Perhaps also by coincidence, "Rodman" is almost an anagram of "Armando," which was the name of the circus owner who owned Caesar in Escape from the Planet of the Apes and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. Robert Franklin is named after Franklin J. Schaffner, the director of the 1968 film. Caesar appears on horseback late in the film. The orangutan is named Maurice, after Maurice Evans, who played the orangutan Dr. Zaius in the 1968 film. An early draft included a human character named Evans. Buck the gorilla is named after Buck Kartalian, who portrayed Julius the gorilla in the 1968 film. Rocket is named after set decorator Norman Rockett from the 1968 film. John Landon and Dodge Landon (the father and son who worked at the San Bruno Primate Shelter) were named after one of the astronauts John Landon and Thomas Dodge in the 1968 film. Dodge firehoses Caesar, as Taylor was firehosed in the 1968 film. Dodge has two lines originally spoken by Charlton Heston (See Mythology Gag.) In the Gen*Sys lobby, there's a "Nova" Cafe. Nova was the beautiful, mute Nubile Savage played by actress Linda Harrison, who befriends both Taylor and Brent in the original films. Gen*Sys scientist Linda Andersen is named after Nova actress Linda Harrison. Steven Jacobs, head of Gen*Sys, is named after Arthur P. Jacobs, the producer of the original film series. Caesar's mother was nicknamed "Bright Eyes," the nickname Zira gave to Taylor in the 1968 film. A female chimp is named "Cornelia." A bonobo is named Koba, like the protagonist of Alexander Kazbegi's "The Patricide." Guess what he ends up doing to his metaphorical father Jacobs, personification of Gen*Sys — not to mention the fate of all other humans. Also, it was Josef Stalin's favorite pseudonym. The movie that Rodney is mouthing along to stars Charlton Heston. Rodney is named after Roddy McDowall, who portrayed Cornelius and Caesar in the original film series, as well as Galen in the live-action TV series. Rodney revealing to Will that Caesar spoke mirrors Cornelius revealing in Escape that an ape named Aldo was the first to speak, his first word being "No." The cops chase after the apes on horseback with night sticks, similar to the apes on horseback chasing after Taylor in the first movie. The cure, ALZ-112. 112 was the original runtime of the first Planet of the Apes (1968) film. Buck jumping at the helicopter and getting shot is similar to King Kong getting shot down by airplanes. Serkis played King Kong in the 2005 remake. | |

Artistic License – Pharmacology | |
Rise of the Planet of the Apes / int_ca68d759 | comment |
Artistic License – Pharmacology: Steven Jacobs asserts to Will that if the ALZ-113 drug tested on chimpanzee boosts positive results for the chimp subject then it will have the same positive effect on humans. This is inaccurate; despite the fact that chimpanzees share 99.1% of their DNA with humans, their biology is still far too different to always guarantee the same results for humans. Jacobs' wild assumption also violates the FDA-required Phase III trials that new drugs be tested on groups of humans before final approval and distribution on the market. The predictable happens as the ALZ-113 drug doesn't really do the same for humans as it did with chimps, bonobos, orangutans and gorillas... | |

Continuity Snarl: The 10-year projection graph at Gen-Sys 8 years before the rest of the movie contains years 2011-2019. Eight more years would place most of the film in 2019. However, the year 2016 appears on a car sticker and is even suggested as the year of this film's events by the website dawnofapes.com, which itself contradicts the 2013, 2012, and 2011 years given by the Simian Flu website, the Dawn novelization, and Motherboard's Before the Dawn shorts respectively. One thing that we know for sure is that Caesar's birth takes place no earlier than 2005 since that year is on Charles Rodman's certificate on the wall in the beginning. | |

Hunsiker, however, is a full embodiment of this trope due to his unexplained Irrational Hatred of the film's protagonists, and he's considered a Very Punchable Man whenever he's the Karmic Butt-Monkey. | |

Insulting from Behind the Language Barrier: Dodge Landon, the caretaker of the chimpanzees, constantly insults Caesar and the other chimps, knowing full well they can't understand him.

Adaptational Context Change: The original films established that the apes rose to prominence after the nuclear war.

Gunboat Diplomacy: Caesar pulls this on Rocket to get him to step down as the leader of the apes. Rocket is a lot more compliant when Caesar's 450-pound gorilla friend is around to help with the convincing. | |

Guilt by Association Gag | |
Rise of the Planet of the Apes / int_ff892c21 | comment |
Guilt by Association Gag: Zigzagged. After the apes kill Dodge, they turn on his unwilling and far more sympathetic coworker, Rodney. Caesar however recognises this and stops them before having him gently imprisoned. | |

Shown Their Work: Possibly. A leading theory for the cause of the rapid spread of AIDS in North America is "a promiscuous flight attendant".note This would be Gaëtan Dugas, a gay flight attendant who was one of the first cases, but not the first in America, and was vilified by a mostly false and embellished book in 1987 due to the writer mistaking "Patient O" as in O for Outside California, for "Patient 0" as in Patient Zero.With even more air travel and an easier route of transmission, the spread isn't that hard to believe. Rocket makes noise with a gas can to reinforce his position as leader. Later, Caesar uses the same gas can to hit Rocket, and ends becoming the new leader of the sanctuary. This is reminiscent of a real case studied by Jane Goodall, where a clever young chimp realized that the noise made with a gas can scared the other chimps and used it to become the tribe's leader. | |
