The Summer of 2011 had many box office hits. One surprising hit was the movie, Rise of the Planet of the Apes. This movie has an incredible story line, a great cast, and is one of the most intriging films of the Summer. Initially, it was thought by many, that this movie would be over-looked because of the Captain America and Harry Potter movies that came out a few weeks before this one. However, The Rise of the Planet of the Apes, stood on its own ground and before it was said and done, became a “must see” movie.
