Aug 6, 2011One of the best movies you'll see this year that isn't about comics!!! 10/10
the movie is nice, it has some emotional parts, some funny parts, not boring at all, the action at the end is spot on. The movie is really great, the dialogue was nice, the characters were likeable except Draco Maulfoy. GO SEE IT NOW!
Aug 16, 2011This movie was great. Even if you haven't seen the original "Planet of the Apes" series (which you should) this movie is still entertaining. The computer graphics are superb, the actors do a good job, and the movie does what it sets out to do. It delivers in nearly every department, except none of the human characters are interesting. All of them are rather bland or unlikable, but the apes are the center of this film, and you'll be rooting for them the whole movie. The action scenes are riveting and exciting and will keep you on the edge of your seat. This movie is definitely worth seeing and is very good, but not extraordinary.… Expand
Aug 7, 2011Nonsense. Just that simple. Scene 1: Cesar, a new born chimpanzee needs 8 YEARS to become fully intelligent. Scene 2: The rest of the other apes takes 4 HOURS to become as smart. Scene 1: In the ape`s shelter the cages are hidden and the playground looks innocent and nice. Scene 2: The cages now surrounds the playground so Cesar can be encouraged by his similars. Scene 1:About 20 apes escapes from the shelter.
Scene 2: More than 200 apes appears in the hill only few hour latter. (¿mitosis?)
Scene 1: Tormented scientific resign and claims for the end of ALZ113 development.
Scene 2: Same scientific has the lethal formula on his fridge.
An so on...the speaking ape, the stupid police, the gorillas climbing threes...etc.
NONSENSE.Just that simple.… Expand
Aug 5, 2011Even if you're not an "Apes" fan, moviegoers will appreciate the heart, intellect, and sheer excitement loaded into this blockbuster. Its a welcome surprise, and sure to be one of the most thrilling (and dare I say moving) pictures of the year.
Aug 8, 2011In the end, this film was too predictable and preposterous. There are a lot of eye rolling moments, such as the humans are all stupid, the corporation greedy at all costs, the animal shelter that abuses animals, shooting lots of apes with machine guns at close range never hitting any, an army of apes that appear apparently from nowhere, etc. etc. The film has nothing original to offer at all and is a conglomeration of many other films. If you're young and haven't seen as many movies as I have you will enjoy it a lot more than I did. The CGI and special effects are very good and there is no slow parts so it did hold my attention. Not a bad movie but made more for the action than the plausibility.… Expand
Aug 7, 2011An excellent movie that entertains throughout and maintains a decent respect for the audience's mental capabilities. Especially impressive is the character development for the ape characters given their lack of spoken dialogue. Well worth the watch!
Sep 10, 2011"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is a good movie; it delivers the ending that creates a bridge to the 1970's "Planet of the Apes" using great CGI and Andy Serkis' powerful performance. However, like "X men: First Class", the movie precedes with a linear story that concentrates on heavy action clashed by two seperate sides (In this case, human v.s apes).
Aug 10, 2011Fantastic movie which has very good emotional scenes and some other well filmed action scenes. All the plot is detailed and concise (eg his father's "problem" or his relationship with "her") when it needs to be. It will thrill you, but it isn't as shocking as the 1968 film, probably because you know the ending if you have seen the aforementioned film.
Aug 12, 2011Honestly, no need for a real review, just go see it. This is one of this summers best films that needed no hype, no heavy marketing, just a great story, with great acting and amazing special effects. One for fans and newcomers alike. Don't miss this flick!
Feb 4, 2012The visual effects are superb and Serkis' performance as Caesar is terrific, but the film is too one dimensional and simple minded to be truly engaging. None of the humans in the film are particularly interesting or complex so you find yourself rooting for the apes to do their thing which doesn't take place until the final act. Most perplexing is why Franco chose this film as a follow up to 127 hours. He basically serves as a piece of human scenery.… Expand
Dec 17, 2011Although the live action stars didn't do very well. The incredible performance from Andy Serkis makes up for it. This film is also one of the most entertaining film's in a long time with great visual effects with it. I give this movie an 85% of a good movie.
Sep 5, 2011After seeing the conclusion to the Harry Potter series, there was another franchise I had to follow: The Planet of The Apes series. Before I begin reviewing this one, I have a confession to make: I never saw any of the planet of the apes films (like I said in my review of the remake). Yeah, shocking wasn't it? But I did heard that they were very creative films. So, after seeing Tim Burton's disappointing remake, I saw the trailer for this movie when I saw Captain America: The First Avenger and I was so amazed I wanted to see it so badly. A few days later, I've succeeded in seeing it and boy was I impressed at how good it was. I'm not gonna write the plot because it's unnecessary, so I'm just gonna go with my opinion.
Visual/Setting: The story revolves around San Francisco which is a very nice place to film this movie and was very creative.
Plot/Premise: The plot was perfectly well-paced. The premise about the intelligent animals taking over the world was a very smart idea ever to put on film.
Acting/Characters: Every actor you see has great talent. James Franco did an amazing as the main character even he and his love interest played by Freida Pinto were enjoyable. Andy Serkis gave out his excellent performance as Caesar, the intelligent ape and the leader of the clan. The rest of the actors, including Tom Felton from Harry Potter, were very entertaining.
Action/CGI: This movie is packed with incredible action scenes with the apes that were very important to the story and the CGI effects along with motion capture were very solid.
Problem: The ending was completely weak and gave me a WTF moment.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is not only an excellent reboot of a soon-will-become franchise, but one of the greatest movies of the year next to some of my favorites.
90/100 A-… Expand
Aug 7, 2011Who knew a chimpanzee could be so cool, affecting and one of the best character this year. It's Caesar (played by Andy Serkis, which he did a phenomenal job) , ladies and gentlemen, a surprising animal that you will get attached to. So the movie starts a little slow. It's the beginning when Will Rodman (James Franco) adopts the chimpanzee, and starts to build a relationship. Then the story progresses quickly, until things are about to get real (when the apes escape). The first part is more about whats going on with the drug (a cure for Alzheimer tested on the chimpanzees) and the situation with Caesar, but it's still intriguing. Then the other part is the action. What I liked about '' Rise of the Planet of the Apes '' is that you can feel the chemistry between Will and Caesar. Also, there were some awesome parts that I wouldn't expected to be in the story. It's one of the best movies that came out this summer.… Expand
Aug 6, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have never seen the original movie, but that doesn't mean i can't say that it was awsome! The growth of Caesar and the revealing of the power of the "Cure" kept you from getting the re-fills. There were a lot of scenes that amazed you, such as Caesar talking and when he did new things due to the "Cure". Although it wasn't the first ever of the movie, i still have to give props to the writters. No movie is perfect, but for a movie in it's catagory, it comes pretty close.… Expand
May 26, 2012When this movie was announced, I was a little sceptical mainly due to fact that the last Planet of the apes movie sucked. I was surprised how good this film is. James Franco puts on a top performance as does John Leithgow. While the plot takes a while to get interesting, the outcome is sweet bliss.CGI is brilliant, even more so than avatar. This movie in brilliant and I highly recomend this to anyone… Expand
Aug 5, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was pleasantly surprised. Caesar (Andy Serkis) is incredible throughout, and the movie is worth seeing for his performance alone. Franco is decent, and Pinto is just a throw-in, but the story is solid. You knew that with the PG-13 rating, you're not going to see a ton of human carnage at the hands of the apes. (Yes, there are exceptions.) I'd have to agree with most of the critics that it's one of the best summer action flicks - and better than just about every comic book hero flick in my mind. (There's an additional scene shortly after the credits begin, but nothing post-credits, so no need to wait for it - fyi.)… Expand
Aug 12, 2011Andy Serkis was very good playing as Caesar who has very emotions that what he can do is to become a great ape since he did Gollum and King Kong. That chimpanzee looks very dark and the way he control his mind that he's turning one of them that humans face control on apes. Now this is new Planet of the Apes that people enjoy it so much and I watch this movie that it's more better than the Tim Burton version that doesn't hold up for now. I'm very impress that this reboot of Planet of the Apes is very strange story than the old version. I love the old version that has design of costumes, silly apes, great acting of over the top of any human could scream like Charlton Heston, and the story was great at times. But far from now, the new was pretty good that has best special effects that apes can do and of course Andy Serkis gets the best. Rise of the Planets of the Apes was very good, fun, and far fetch to the top of Planet of the Apes, although is not that amazing, but I can say was very cool to watch!… Expand
Aug 7, 2011Actually not bad. Doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is - a sci-fi thriller with little resemblance to the real world. On that count it succeeds. I genuinely felt for Caesar, the head-ape, and that's testament to the motion capture acting and CGI . I was rooting for the apes the whole way through and in that sense its a little like watching a football match. Apes Vs Humans. You want to see your side fight with some heart, play to the whistle and come out on top, knowing that victory will be so sweet. But the thrill of the competition fades soon enough, at which point your attention turns to more important matters. Enjoyable enough, despite the cardboard acting of James Franco. Only downside is now I want a chimpanzee.… Expand
Aug 10, 20111st Point : This is a science fiction movie. 2nd If you are going to the movie theater expecting that you'll watch a movie based on "Reality" please don't go.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is Absolutely one of the best movies of the years and the best of "Planet of Apes"
Aug 7, 2011This prequel explains how the apes took over the earth, setting the stage for the original 1968 film. James Franco stars as a scientist testing a miracle cure on chimps until bad luck and mean humans upset everything. The plot is interesting and well told until the less-than-spectacular revolt. Disappointingly, the CGI apes are never convincing and that prevents full enjoyment.
Aug 7, 2011Just a good movie. The story was pretty great, it was entertaining and moving. The performance of James Franco and Andy Serkis of course were fantastic. The directing was great. Just a great movie, most likely one of the best of the summer.
Aug 7, 2011A great reboot of a very long running franchise. It gives you exactly what you expect when you buy a ticket, and even a little bit more. The apes are incredibly life-like and real, and Andy Serkis gives the performance of a lifetime as Caesar. In reality James Franco isn't the protagonist, Serkis is. Franco is more there to allow Caesar to be able to become the protagonist. But, that aside, a great movie all in all. There are tons of great references to the original movie, some being a bit cheesier then others. It is not as good as the original, it is far better then the 2001 remake, and is better then Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, it's equivalent film. Serkis, along with Alan Rickman for Harry Potter will be the two biggest snubs at this years Oscar's, when they should win. 9/10.… Expand
Nov 13, 2011This movie shows that each and every living being wants freedom and wants to live life by there way. This movie has great meaning in it. It is full of action, love, emotion & APES.
Aug 12, 2011The Good: Great acting, greatest CGI character ever, entertaining, touching, and a true reboot to the original. The Bad: Special effects were a little shaky in parts, undertones were too strong, and the science was too shallow. When a sci-fi movie comes out, I always have to compare it to Jurassic Park in terms of story telling. Jurassic Park took a real premise and put their own twist on it and bent it to fit their lore and they made it work with precision. One of my main gripes with this film is that it never sets you to truly believe in the lore. Unlike Jurassic Park, where they explained everything and showed intelligent thought behind it, Rise of the Apes is just flat, just hoping that the audience will buy into "hey apes are smart" and never question it. Now I know this is a sci-fi movie, so I understand that to a certain extent "turning off your brain" is required, but this film simply milked that requirement too much, this wasn't something that ruined the movie, but it was significantly more than a gripe, because while watching the movie, in the back of my mind i kept saying to myself that this is impossible on so many levels and i demanded answers and the movie never truly filled that gap. However, the shaky special effects is nothing more than a gripe, this movie did go out of its way to shove its undertones down your throat. It plays the cards of: Animal cruelty, animal testings, big corporations are bad and just want money, and etc. Whether you agree with what its saying is irrelevant, it got to the point where the undertones were just obnoxious. Although i've spent all this time bashing the film, it actually is a really good piece of art. The actors all step up to the plate, however some of the characters were a bit cliche'd, but overall the acting was excellent. The movie created "out of this world" emotional attachment with the apes, and even gets you to betray your species. While movies like "Transformers" just rely on explosions and hot women to sell the film, RIse of the Apes actually creates a wonderful story and moving characters and I hope that there will be sequels.… Expand
Aug 5, 2011Let me start out my ranting by saying I went into this movie expecting content overall content similar to that in the admittedly awesome trailer, and yes it does contain a few cool action scenes as most summer blockbusters do. HOWEVER THIS IS NOT THE MAJORITY OF THE MOVIE!!! out of close to two hours of screen time around eighty-five percent is dedicated to nothing more than some VERY SLOW moving drama. Not that I have anything against slow moving drama movies, as I enjoyed Pulp Fiction and The Tree Of Life, but if you are going to tackle drama you had at least better make it interesting. Save for a few key scenes, most of the movie feels predictable and uninspired, as in nothing really catches your interest until a certain series trademark line is dropped to briefly pull you back in and lose interest within a few seconds. As with the movie, the ending is shockingly lame and baits you toward a inevitable sequel that you would rather spend your money on. To me, the movie felt rushed and unpolished, falling into that yet-another-unremarkable-series-installment-that-began-with-a-classic movie cliche. The trailer and potential for this movie raise expectations that it doesn't quite live up to. In short: Has a couple cool action scenes, lots of references to past movies fans will enjoy, and remarkable CGI apes done by the same actor who did Gollum in LOTR. Unfortunately most of the movie consists of slow moving, predictable drama, and the ending leaves you feeling unsatisfied. It seems as even the combined forces of James Franco and Draco can't save this movie from feeling like a downer. However, series veterans and people viewing with the right expectations still might get a kick out of it. As for me, I just hope the next installment lives up to the trailer.… Expand
Aug 6, 2011No monkey business in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The film was a great beginning to an obvious second adaptation. Yes, there could have been more of a story and a more in depth analysis of the characters (humans), but this movie is called Rise of the Planet of the Apes, not Rise of the Planet of the Humans. Caesar was a CGI spectacle and James Franco played an excellent role as Caesar's surrogate father. Look for Rise of the Planet of the Apes II to top this movie ten fold. When I see the trailer for the next movie, you can bet your ass I'm goin' bananas!… Expand
Aug 11, 2011I liked the movie very much.I can say that it is one of the best movies of 2011.It is well acted and also contains some amazing fight scenes.i can honestly say that it would be a blockbuster.
Aug 11, 2011Really? Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It is "Rise of the Planet of special effects". This movie is nothing more than an acceptable form of a fantasy movie. The official trailer was emotional and attention-grabbing, but the movie is not just good enough.
Aug 11, 2011I was proven VERY wrong about this film. I thought it was gonna suck, but I ended up REALLY liking it. Andy Serkis' performance is definitely worthy of a nomination for Best Supporting Actor, James Franco did a very good job as well, and the story was captivating and awesome. I have to say this is my second favorite movie of the year, right behind Fast 5. I cant wait for the sequel!!!
Aug 13, 2011Another summer film that despite (or more likely, because of) massive CGI inspires shrugged shoulders. As it was, the CGI in this one was not quite good enough to allow one to forget it was there. I don't mind suspending disbelief if a film gives me a reason to, but this one doesn't. There are some gripping sequences, I admit, but they aren't in the service of anything larger. And frankly, I don't think PotA is a great series to mine for remakes. The originals weren't that good, and they only became iconic because Charleton Heston was the worlds biggest canned ham. We were laughing at those films, not loving them.… Expand
Sep 7, 2011I really enjoyed the Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The Graphics were excellent and the acting great. I didn't think I would enjoy it much after seeing all the others.
Dec 11, 2011A very suprising good movie! A movie that ties in what happened at the beginning of the planet of the apes movies, I found the story very entertaining, it was intresting. The action flowed very well, I did find some part emotional. Its not a movie to be taken "Seriously" but its worth watching. Its a soild 7 out of 10!
Sep 26, 2011Having seen this a while ago I still can't get past why people think this is a phenomenal movie. It's good but not great. The plot gets a bit dull during the halfway point and you sit in your seat wondering when the whole rest of the movie is going to take off. Some of the dialogue between the human actors I felt was unneeded and really took us away from Caesar's problems (the real star of the movie). The next door neighbor was an irrelevant role, who's whole purpose in the film is to get sick? I mean the guy repeated the same line at least four times in the movie "Just get out of here!" The man only spoke about nine lines the whole movie. Overall i'm satisfied with my purchase but i'm not sitting here praising this movie like its a golden idol.… Expand
Jan 24, 2012I really enjoyed this film and I cant wait for a sequel. Andy Serkis totally made this film and is amazing as Caesar. I did not like James Franco as a lead though, He doesnt do drama well. The rest of the cast was solid though. I liked how the plot set up future films but it was too straight forward, which was rather disapointing. The CGI use in the film is amazing. Totally worth the watch.
Dec 1, 2011While "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is definitely entertaining for its hour and a half, it is far from a good film. The idea of the film is good - to give us a prelude to the story we all know rather well for over 3 decades now. In films like this one expects a lot of visual effects, dumb plot and paper-thin dialogue. For a change, this is different. The dialogue is not as bad as it could have been, which goes to the credit of the writers. That being said, it is not good either. The direction of the film is absolutely horrible, and Wyatt is obviously a rookie who should not have been given the lead with this. My biggest issue in the film was the straight-out ridiculous portrayal of the monkeys, especially Caesar. While he is supposed to be highly intelligent and human-like, the director has taken it a bit too far, that it becomes almost a mockery and, in a strange way, insulting to monkeys. Yes, I cannot believe I am writing this either, but I felt as if it was not a positive portrayal - not that it was meant to be anyway. Nonetheless, it made me rather uncomfortable and it's not because of the prospect of a monkey-led apocalypse. The acting is mediocre, despite the rather decent cast. The visual effects are good enough, and the monkeys are extremely credible. I am excited to see what will happen with the franchise, but I do hope that the director will change. It has set a decent standard for the next film, which can only help the sequel, since this film wasn't too bad, but it shouldn't be too hard to make a better follow up one. Let's see what happens!… Expand
Feb 16, 2012I don't care if this film is somewhat simple and linear plotwise. I don't care that I guessed everything that happened. This film really captured my imagination, I think this has something to do with how relevant the film is. I could even suggest the film is believable, maybe just! It really captured the emotion in certain moments and communicated that to the viewer, often without any speech of any kind. It follows the theme of most films of this kind in the messages it communicates and definetly served as a reminder to me. I'd go as far as to suggest the Apes and Humans are actually two sides of the same coin, I don't really want to say anything else. Might go revisit the old Plant of the Apes movies soon. Brilliant, enjoyable, emotional, captivating.… Expand
Jan 6, 2012suprisingly very good. the movie has alot of hart and you really do feel for ceaser. the human characters arnt focused on much and im kind of torn if thats a good or a bad thing since this is called rise of the plantet of the apes after all. the pacing does feel a tad slow but over all this movie delivers . the film makers did a damn good job makin the apes likeable and i found myself hooked in to what was going to happen to them next. this is how a remake should be done.… Expand
Aug 7, 2011An ultimately entertaining, if ludicrous, movie. It improves as the apes get smarter, because the humans seem like such dimwits. Much has been made of the CGI ape(s) and Sertis' role is immeasurable to making this work, but there is a major if unavoidable flaw and that is that the CGI ape is a human acting like an ape, which means we see human expressions and mannerisms. Just because an ape gets smarter does not mean it automatically takes on human gestures. That would take a huge evolutionary span. As great as the CGI is it's presence too often means that the intelligence of the movie suffers, and in the end we get a CGI spectacle but poor writing, plotting, and illogical presentation.… Expand
Aug 23, 2011A very entertaining and thrilling film. I had no idea what to expect since I didn't watch any trailers or anything. This film blew me away, the CG was amazing. James Franco did a great job and so did everyone else.
Aug 7, 2011Easily the best movie of the summer and, so far, the best movie I've seen this year. If you've seen the original or are a fan, you're in for a real treat.
Jun 5, 2014The climax is meh and the ending is abrupt/rushed but that doesn't do much to ruin what is otherwise a pretty good movie. This is how you make a good prequel. After tons of not so great Planet of the Apes movies finally we have one that is good. This film is great by not just being a prequel that only serves to set up another movie but a good standalone film in its own right. The story is well paced and put together with some good morals, the characters especially Caesar are pretty good, and the effects on the Apes are great. This film is a must watch as it is pretty entertaining. It may not be as good as the original film but its still a good movie that shows that you can make a good prequel. Curious to see how the sequels hold up.… Expand
Sep 16, 2011Great movie. I appreciated the tips of the hat to the original movies. I was prepared to be offended by the animal rights agenda and while it does try to present some moral equivalency between animals and humans it isn't preachy about it. I was impressed that visually the cg was believable enough so as to not be distracting.
Aug 14, 2011An average film with a beautiful technical team to showcase a seamless interaction between humans and fake apes. While it wasn't a bad movie, it certainly doesn't deserve the accolades it is receiving.
Oct 19, 2011Although I feared it would be just another blockbuster, I was positively surprised. A tight layered script coupled with impressive graphics that feel real, sets the right tone to what looks to be the start of a new franchise.
Aug 29, 2012I loved every minute of this film and I really hope any sequels that are made keep to the same standard. If I have one criticism, it
Jul 21, 2013Rise of the planet of the apes is a poor excuse for a film.
As far as trying to give us an origin story to the planet of the apes franchise it does achieve this though it is completely unrealistic and even comical.
The first half of the film has storyline and attempts to make the film seem acceptable, the second half is just a pure failure that only achieves to show off the CGI which is of a below average quality anyway.… Expand
Aug 17, 2011At various times through the movie, my 23 year old dauther, my wife and I in our 40's, and my 69 year old father yawned more frequently than I'd expect. The graphic effects are cool, very well done. It's an average summer big budget movie. Had nothing to do with the Planet of the Apes series, for those of you expecting that.
Aug 22, 2011A very solid piece of film making. Brilliant pacing and the CGI is incredible. Blows Tim Burton's movie out of the water and even rivals the original for pure entertainment. The only thing I didn't like was the way the bad guy working at the Monkey shelter was so cliched and 2 dimensional. But other than that - awesome.
Aug 15, 2011This movie is amazing, keeps you entertained and glued to the screen, has no dull moment, the performances in general a bit loose, but no matter, the movie itself is very well build, after seeing this I want to be a damn monkey , good special effects, good sound, good photography, this film is so **** amazing..!! and now I can understand the other movies, great prequel.
Feb 3, 2012Negative reviews for this movie!?? What the funk? Do you just hate monkeys? Forget the amazing computer-generated apes, this is a great story. Best Planet of the Apes movie ever. I've seen 'em all. Believe me- this one is at the top of a full barrel. If you don't like this movie, you're an anti-simianite! A raging anti-simianite.
Aug 9, 2011In a summer packed with comic adaptations (X-Men, Thor, Green Lantern, The First Avenger), franchise finales (Harry Potter, Transformers) and the odd box office surprise (Bridesmaids, The Smurfs)... Rise manages to stand apart from the pack.
Rise features the best special effects of summer 2011, an engaging story and well-paced action sequences. To say that the movie is unrealistic and 'nonsense', as one user puts it, is to completely miss the point. Summer blockbusters have seldom been accused of being thought-provoking exercises. Jaws, a film widely viewed as the progenitor of the modern summer flick, was a movie about a giant shark which actually flops onto the deck of a boat in its attempt to eat the humans. 'Nuff said.
At its core, Rise of the Planet of the Apes is an environmentally conscious flick in the guise of a loud and stupid action sci-fi. Do not let appearances deceive you... or you might end up missing the best that summer 2011 has to offer.… Expand
Aug 9, 2011Great movie ,it has a good storyline and also has some good emotionals parts u really must see it.In my opinion is the second best movie of the year before ON STRANGER TIDES
Dec 29, 2011There is nothing terribly good or bad about Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Nothing is really gained from it, but it isn't a total flop like most prequels are. The whole movie is just pretty... safe. Nothing new to see here. James Franco doesn't really shine here, though Andy Serkis impresses, like usual There are a lot of goofs and plotline holes throughout the movie, but it really just does its job as an escapist Hollywood blockbuster.… Expand
Jan 14, 2013Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a good movie. The build up of the primate explosion is great to watch and full of tension. The only real weak link here is James Franco, who I feel is pretty bad in everything he appears in. That casting annoyance aside, I had a lot of fun with this Planet of the Apes reboot.
Aug 8, 2011When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I thought it was going to be great. After seeing the film today, it turned nout to be just that. The human characters, though only a few, are pretty deep and have a reason for being in the story. The use of CGI on the apes was picture perfect with Andy Serkis again giving a top notch performance. It does move in predictable ways but still take spride in the progression of the story. Which in some cases may feel like a lull and keeps the film from being perfect. But it's better to see these than breeze over them and suck life from the story. So to see the progression from baby chimp to revolution leader is amazing.… Expand
Aug 16, 2011Really enjoyed this. Surprise film of the year for me. The cinema was packed and at times the whole audience gasped, haven't seen that in a long time. The special effects are stunning but the story has real heart and I dare you not to be rooting for the most badass monkeys ever! Lots of nods to the original. Its not just the action but I loved the way its almost a comment on society. The caged underclass has outgrown its enslavement and how the authorities can't control a Rise (wont use the word riot!). Is it wrong to want better and free world for your people? A must see in the cinema.… Expand
Aug 14, 2011Rise of the P. of the apes is a surprisingly good movie. The action and the drama were well balanced. James Franco was pretty good but Caesar was great. He didn't do much but move around but I felt for him. The effects and CGI was also good. You know what I can't really write a long review because theres nothing else to say but: go watch it.
Nov 30, 2011An intriguing film with good acting and clever ideas. The film was touching and extremely thoughtful, until the battle at the end, where poise was lost and it turned into more of a visual stimulation than a well-thought out scene. Overall though, despite some scientific inconsistencies, it is a must-see film, which will leave you pondering over the boundary between human and ape.
Sep 16, 2011Energetic, touching, humanity, brutal. Instead Andy Serkis touching (motion capture) performance, I two thumbs up the brutality by apes. Scares me to death.
Dec 16, 2011A film about a scientific research gone wrong is always a pleasure to watch, however The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes is a notch above the rest. Given its well developed computer graphics and beautiful visual. However the movie takes to long to get to its climax but given how great the movie is, it is a very minute problem.
Aug 11, 2011The original 1968 Planet of the Apes spawned its own sequel titles and even had its own remake with Tim Burtonâ
Sep 1, 2011A classic tale of of a phenomenon going beyond control, apes this time. Driven by mistreatment and feeling of injustice, a medically made intelligent, lab treated ape leads the revolt against humans. The acting credit goes this time to Ceasar, the apes leader who excels at eyes and face acting, thanks to human technology that makes this kind of ape puppets. For slightly less than two hours, this movie hardly gives the feeling of boredom. The scenario is not that strong specially at the finale which is quite non-convincing and quick in proportion with the lengthy tragic and hectic course of events.… Expand
Aug 20, 2011MINOR SPOILERS
Surprisingly good. Andy Serkis gives an amazing performance as Caesar. The special effects are fantastic, and the apes in the movie are very believable. This movie could have easily been bad, but instead it's probably the best summer blockbuster of the year. The acting is all around good, with some exceptions (such as the one-dimensional human villains). James Franco gives a good performance but the stars of the movie are without a doubt the apes. The film is paced and directed well, and the movie builds a lot of tension towards the climax in which the apes escape. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for an entertaining and original summer movie.… Expand
Feb 10, 2012I really liked this movie. It is one of the best prequel movies I think I've ever seen. It is a wonderful blend of action, drama, and intrigue. The characters are spot on, perfectly casted. And not just the live action ones. The CG main character is really who sells the show. This genius chimp's character development is what drives the movie forward. The human-animal relations in the movie, and especially the animal-animal relations are some of the best non-verbal writing I have yet seen. The main character says exactly three words in the entire movie, and yet he is so much better then characters in other movies who won't stop talking. I also really liked how the plot was set up. It is a journey from the jungle, to the labs, to the suburbs, to a torturous shelter, then to freedom, and finally to the seeds of humanity's fall. This is a great watch, and I recommend it to anyone who has not already seen it.… Expand
Aug 9, 2011This is a good movie. I didnt expect much but I liked it. It reminded me a bit of AI. A nice subtext. Its an entertaining movie and i certainly enjoyed watching it. Let there be more !
Aug 13, 2011I have not seen any of the other Apes movies at the time of this review. I thought the story of this movie was actually pretty good which was kinda unexpected for me. Things seemed to get pretty boring once the Apes were let loose, the action wasn't really impressive and the ending was just horrible.
Aug 28, 2011A tremendous reboot of the Planet of the Apes series. Compared to the most recent Ape films this is without question head and shoulders above anything of recent memory. The plot is simple and rather like Batman Begins in a way where it explores the origins of the Apes. Everything you need to know going into the film is in the title. I have to admit I was actually thrilled by what this film had to offer, it's without doubt one of the biggest blockbusters of the year and genuinely lives up to being in that bracket alongisde HPP7, Transformers 3 etc,.) It has the perfect balance throughout, the whole emotional aspect of the apes in particular that of their would be leader Caesar's journey is fascinating, and ofcourse James Franco's character as he seeks a cure for his father. Andy Serkis is once again exceptional as Caesar but given his performances in Lord of the Rings (Gollum) and King Kong (as Kong). Overall this is a welcome return to form and would be well worthy of a sequel. Its one of the surprise packages of the year and an entertaining blockbluster that lives up to the hype.… Expand
Aug 12, 2011The original apes series in the 60's and 70's are one of my guilty pleasures. We learned in the very first Charleton Heston version that this was the future of Earth, but we never learned why. The remake in the early part of the decade with Mark Wahlberg was technically competent in terms of the effects and production values, but it was wooden and lifeless. I didn't have high hopes for this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. It had solid action, emotion, you actually cared about Caesar, The computer generated special effects were good, but there is something a little off which can be disconcerting, But the story actually comes up with a believable premise of how earth came to be taken over by apes. And there were no comic book heroes like every other movie this summer. I was very impressed.… Expand
Jan 16, 2012Strong movie in spite of the reputation of the prior Ape films. Loved what they did with the technology and thought the computer ape story was better than the real human tale. Very enjoyable.
Aug 19, 2014The apes are by far the best animated character in the history of cinema. Not only is the C.G.I. good, but the character is written very well in general. You will go through all of those emotions yourself as you witness the movie's journey that it takes you on. Through the film, you will understand what Cesar is feeling and why. The invisible character of the film is humanity itself, it's looking at a dark mirror… Expand
Sep 6, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Prequel or reboot? Whatever the case, Rise Of The Planet of The Apes is a movie you cannot ignore. If you ever saw the original, you may have scratched your head and wondered: How am I supposed to believe that a world where talking apes who have overthrown humanity as the dominant species is possible? The riddle of the talking ape is finally solved: Man's experimentation on living chimpanzees created a Pandora's box which heralded the end! What I liked about this movie was its slow, logical pace, building to the eventual conclusion. Instead of being thrust into a world we question, we witness scientific "progress" - not uncommon in this day and age - which creates the dramatic tension and deus ex machina necessary for apes to overthrow us. James Franco and John Lithgow skillfully play great characters, but both actors take a back-seat to the work of Andy Serkis, who provides us with a living, breathing, emoting, CGI-bred Caesar. I always wondered exactly how Caesar learned to talk and to be the first ape to utter the word "No" - this movie gives us a compelling rationale behind the Planet of the Apes folklore. I look forward to more movies in this franchise - if they are anything like this one, they will be fantastic.

Aug 23, 2011I went in not expecting much, but came away with more than I had hoped. It is a great movie on so many levels. well acted, emotionally engaging and an ethical tale as well. In the end my favorite theme told- testing on animals brings nothing good, in fact animal testing is our own downfall. So prolific.
Sep 9, 2011The trailers make this look like a straight action sequel to a long-running franchise. The surprise is, the movie actually has both heart and intelligence.
Aug 5, 2011I actually really enjoyed this movie. The story is very interesting and very new. The CGI is absolutely amazing and you don't really notice that it's fake. I mean it's there, but extremely easy to ignore. The best part of the movie are the apes. For sure. James Franco actually plays a kind of secondary protagonist. Ceazar Is the actual main character. A great revolution movie, which shows the ape's side of things. I found the premise to be a little unrealistic, assuming an alziehmer cure is possible, until the end. Which did a good job of explaining things in a short time. There are also great action scenes that exhibit the great strength of the ape. In fact, the action scenes MIXED with the ape's intelligence are very interesting and very entertaining. One of the best movies of the year.… Expand
Aug 14, 2011This was a super fun movie but any professional critic who'd give it five stars, a 10 or 100% is either on the take or on drugs. 91% is fine. How about 3 1/2 stars or 4? An 8 score is terrific. But a perfect score is lame, lame, lame. This isn't one of the best films of all time. It's above average, and very good --and that's good enough!
Aug 5, 2011Definitely worth a trip to the movie theater if you have enjoyed Planet of the Apes. If you have never seen Planet of the Apes I would suggest watching it first before going.
Aug 20, 2011What ever you do dont listen to CYRANUS review. My god he either didnt watch the movie or needs a dose of the same intelligence serum as the apes. Scene 1 was a baby therefore took more time to mature like all living beings. Scene 2 the apes that took that serum were already adults which is why the serum worked quicker. Scene 1 apes escape (more than 20) Scene 2 apes on the hill (not 200, about the same number of apes.) Didnt pay attention to the whole cage being seen from the playroom or not, but even if he is right, thats a VERY small plothole. Police and humans were not stupid they underestimated the apes, because they were not aware of how smart they were. As far as the speaking ape, if you watched the planet of the apes show you know that had to be thrown in there gradually, it's a fantasy movie not real life idiot. Didnt even understand what you meant about the "Scene 1: Tormented scientific resign and claims for the end of ALZ113 development. Scene 2: Same scientific has the lethal formula on his fridge" crap. You really need to watch it again and not try to seem like a smart critic, because your points had more plotholes than the movie did.… Expand
Aug 7, 2011Fox may say it's not a reboot but it sure looks like it, same general idea with a new story, adapted for a 2011 public. It's not a perfect movie, some little things just buged me (Ex: a monkey trow a sewer doormat to a car and the thing get STUCK in the windshield, not even hurting the driver) but overall, it's a very enjoyable moment. In therm of character developement, Ceasar, the monkey, is interesting, and the relationship with his master is too, but the other characters are kinda lacking in depth. Finally, I must say that every monkey are computer generated and are totally awesome.
Best summer movie so far in my opinion.… Expand
Aug 29, 2011I really liked this film. Nearly every ape, if not all, were performance-capture CGI, and every one of them looked incredibly realistic. Serkis is particularly brilliant as Caesar. The film tugs at your heart strings here and there while offering an interesting case-study with apes, Alzheimer's disease, and the various relationships and interactions with their human counterparts. Franco & Pinto are somewhat forgettable in this film, but Lithgow gives a good performance. There are many epic segments in this film that are unforgettable. What a great origin film!… Expand
Aug 7, 2011great movie. CAESAR WAS BREATHTAKING!!!!! Andy serkis did a great job playing Caesar. the movie was good throughout. its intense and emotional. you feel Caesar's anger and pain. when he was commanding the apes it was crazy. when he rode that horse all i could say was DAMN!!!!!
Sep 5, 2011Rise of the Planet of the Apes is certainly evolutionarily superior to the vast majority of summer blockbusters. It's not only visually stunning but boasts some clever ideas and moral questions. Andy Serkis continues to prove that he's not only the master of mo-cap, but a brilliant method actor. Not since Avatar has CGI so effectively been married with the real world, and every Ape is believable as a character. The sequence documenting Caesar's formative years is magical, and the action-packed finale is heart-racing, but sadly other parts of the film lack a bit of a punch. This is partly due to the dullness of the human characters - no-one (with the possible exception of John Lithgow's Alzheimer's-afflicted Charles) are anywhere near as interesting, or easy to relate to as Caesar. This motion-captured chimp (a hyper-intelligent chimp, this is true, but still a chimp) out-performs everyone else on screen. This is a true testament to Serkis' skill, but also proof that the rest of the cast's performances are generally lacklustre. So the film is interesting enough, the plot reasonably entertaining, with some nice nods to the original Apes film, and the visuals are beautiful. However none of the flesh-and-blood characters can compete with the apes in terms of likeability, complexity or emotional grounding. And the title's just silly.… Expand
Aug 17, 2011Wow, this movie was damn good. James Franco was brilliant and so was the rest of the supporting cast and Rupert Wyatt did an amazing job directing this film. Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a brilliant summer blockbuster with loads of action in its final 25 min of its reasonably lengthed hour and 55 minutes. The only reason I gave it a 9 and not a 10 is because i thought it got a little boring and slow in the beginning, but just a little, otherwise this movie enthralled me from the start. This movie was a great way to end off the summer of blockbusters. Even if your not an apes fan go see this movie because anybody can enjoy a great film. 9.5/10… Expand
Sep 5, 2011Just alright. I was most definitely entertained but there wasn't anything that was really blow away for me. I also didn't find it to be near as emotional as some people made it out to be. Worth a watch, not sure if I would've paid $10 in hind sight.
Aug 10, 2011Great use of character attachment is the key to this movie. the director found away to make scenes with no dialogue interesting and fun. Overall a fun movie to watch with no dull parts throughout. A good summer blockbuster!
Aug 13, 2011This origin story is bereft of character, soul and reasoning. Full of trite, fake and all too perfect moments. Years pass in seconds presumably because they couldn't figure out what to write. There is no substance to the characters while others are cliches or complete waste of acting skill. Perhaps slightly better than Marky Mark's Ape escapade, but that is not saying much.
Aug 21, 2011Was Planet of the Apes a movie that needed to be made? Nope but what has been made is entertaining with likable characters that will have you rooting for them through their predicament. The stars of Rise of The Planet of The Apes are the CGI apes themselves which have more heart and interest then the human actors which are on the lacking side. James Franco has a permanent stoned look on his face the whole movie and never seems to completely convince as a scientist more than him wearing a lab coat. It was also good to see an Indian actress in the supporting role but unfortunately the story fails to do much with her. Most of the CGI effects are great and succeed to convince, however there was a couple of border silly parts having over exaggerated animations like a cartoon which breaks the illusion. Despite some of the plot holes and half good story, Rise of The Planet succeeds as an entertaining movie. Recommended.â… Expand
Sep 4, 2011In 2009 it was Star Trek, in 2010 it was Inception and now in 2011 Rise of The Planet of the Apes conquers as the smartest, most thrilling blockbusters of the Summer (hands down). Though initially skeptical of the story, everything was well executed; particularly the means and reasons behind the apes' uprising; With a semblance of time and high shock value to boot. Through stylish direction and astonishing visual effects (which needs to win the VFX Oscar next year) Serkis' performance is excellently captured adding humanity and depth to our lead ape. The 2001 remake pales in comparison to this and the original films will always remain classics. This goes down as a satisfying reboot to a long running franchise and I'm eager to see what awaits in its future.… Expand
Aug 7, 2011I was excited about seeing this movie and I really wanted to like it. When the main character is a computer generated monkey, it's hard to get emotionally wrapped up in a move. James Franco and John Lithgow were stand outs but the premise took a long time to develop and the action came very late in the movie. Overall, it was decent. Not great.
Aug 12, 2011Outstanding visuals, wonderful film making, good acting, and lots of character is what this movie is filled to the brim with. The action is exciting, yet surprisingly it isn't the best part of this movie. For me, the best part was the characters, and the relationship that you, the audience, have with the characters. You really feel connected to the lead Ape character, Caesar. (played by Andy Serkis, and very well might I add.) You can see the pain, love, and intensity in Caesar's eyes throughout this film. It's a smart script, with several moments that will make your emotions run wild. And in my opinion, that is what movies are all about. I think this is easily one the best movies to come out all summer. Highly recommended. 8/10… Expand
Sep 3, 2011What I love the most about this movie is not the adventurous escapades of Caesar, but the impeccable role that Franco plays in it. Like in "127 Hours", Franco uses his ability to act not with his face, but with his eyes and voice, and he uses it perfectly here. Credits to the director for making another success since "The Escapist".
Aug 10, 2011James Franco is a very good actor and this was a good movie to have him in. Although it was a well written story, the fantasy aspect of it just didn't sit right. All the "Planet of the Apes" films are bizarre but that also makes it intriguing to people.
Aug 5, 2011If you remember that this is a Planet Of The Apes movie, then you will enjoy this movie. Nothing about this concept can be accepted as possible, so just enjoy it. There are at least 3 references (some subtle some not) to the original movies which is great. It is actually an engaging story and not all action. See it and enjoy it, just for what it is ... remember, its not Shakespeare!
Jan 15, 2012This movie is fantastic and perfect , but it is one of the shortest movie._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________… Expand
Aug 15, 2011It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad. Rise of the Planet of the Apes was still a good movie though. The plot was awesome, music was lifting, the effects were great but simple, the acting wasn't exactly amazing, I'd blame the director though. However, It still ended out to be entertaining enough to stay in your seats.
Aug 7, 2011Rise of The Planet of the Apes was alright. Watched it before it was released at a special preview. Impressive special effects. I just found it "freaky" a bit with monkeys acting like humans! Didn't watch it in 3D so that was one good thing - is there a 3D version??
Sep 5, 2011This film is the most surprising I have seen in a long time. When I saw the trailer, I was very put off by another planet of the apes movie, and the thought that a couple apes could take over our planet seemed just hyper-ridiculous. Anyway, after hearing unanimous positive reviews from my fiends, I went, and it blew me away. I'm not kidding, the plot is extraordinary, the development of the main chimp, Caesar, is one of the best I have seen, the take over is well played out and plausible, I'm serious. This film deserves it's reputation. THIS LAST PART IS A BIT OF A SPOILER - It is only logical that a drug that enhances the brain's function and reparation would eventually lead the chimps to speak, and although that concept could seem cliche, cheesy, or has the ability to come off as ridiculous, they pulled it off unbelievably well. Once again, this film is an excellent result of good a good writers, directors, and film-making.… Expand
Aug 7, 2011I thought this movie was great. It got you to care about Caesar and almost root for the apes after how they were treated. I thought Serkis was a genius in his role as the lead ape. It really got you thinking about its likelihood to happen (which is pretty high based on what apes can do these days). I definitely recommend this movie and might say it is in my top 5 for the year so far.
Aug 27, 2011You will never know how fast you will eat your popcorn while you were watching Rise of the Planet of The Apes. I didn't watched previous movies but will watch them too after i see this one.
Aug 5, 2011They did a great job mending the pre-story to the PotA classic. It has some very nicely woven heart-felt moments and some crazy action scenes to offer. Be sure to hang around for the credits!!!
By far the best spectacle movie of the season, and one of the few films to use digital technology for nuanced dramatic effect.
Hell, even Heston's performance elicited cheers back in the day. Franco, in a totally, tonally different role, but still the prime human here, is a pale shadow of the ruined future to come.
A worthy, exciting, emotional addition to the venerable monkey movie marathon. Apes will rise. Sequels are likely.

Heidi House is an extremely low cost studio and office space located in a residential area of Tokyo. Long window openings were made in the plywood sheets in between the structural frame. The long thin nature of the structural frame inspired the 'Tyrollean' cutout shape.

The design for the 10 storey (54 meter tall) flagship Louis Vuitton store in Japan aims to establish an architectural equivalent of the identity of the brand in which classical and modern qualities are blended, reinforcing each other.
Locating this house on a remote island on the Great Lakes imposed complexities to the house's fabrication and construction, so the house was prefabricated near the contractor's shop, located on the lake shore, the house was constructed on a frozen lake and then towed 80 km to the final site on Lake Huron. A "rainscreen" envelope of cedar strips condense to shelter interior space and expand to either filter light entering interior spaces or screen and enclose exterior spaces giving a modulated yet singular character to the house. On one side of the house is a sheltered boat slip.

Key Limes or Juice?
While I am still debating on which key lime pie to make for Easter, I need to find either key limes or key lime juice. Any suggestions?
I honestly can't remember the last grocery store I saw that didn't have key lime juice--not just Whole Foods and Wegmans and the like, but even the Safeways and Giants usually at least have Nellie & Joe's.
Key limes, IMHO, are vastly superior to Nellie & Joe's. Harris Teeter in Reston seems to have key limes all the time. I assume that means that their other stores do too, but am not certain.
trader joe's usually has key limes (at least the one in falls church, near 66). jar juice not nearly as good, because has preservatives.

re: AlyKen
I've had very good results with Persian limes in the past, and they're a whole lot easier to juice!
re: Jason1
The flavor notes of Persian limes are substantially different than those of key limes. The recipe will not come out the same. Likewise with key lime juice.
Wegman's and TJ's will sometimes have key limes, but not always. Persian limes are dark green and somewhat smaller than regular limes. Key limes are more yellow than green, and only the size of golf balls. They also give off very little juice - it takes a lot of key limes to make pie!
re: Jason1
It's not "Key Lime Pie" if you don't make it with real Key limes or the juice. As a native Floridian, I feel that the flavor is totally different. My mother has a Key lime tree in a pot, so I agree that the fruit is very difficult to juice. If you cannot find the actual limes in the stores, buy the juice. It's usually in the baking section... or at least it is at the Giant in Glen Burnie. I also don't think you should make it with lime Jello.
Not sure why earlier post disappeared, but per Cooks Illustrated, they say there is no real difference in taste, mixed opinions on what the difference might be (some sources say stronger/sharper, some say milder/more mellow), and between the small size, seeds and thin, un-zestable skin, not worth the trouble. They recommend using just standard Persian limes.
I have made pie with both Key Limes and regular (Persian limes), as well as with a mixture of lime and lemon juice to approximate the flavor of Key limes.
I don't care what Cook's Illustrated says - there IS a difference in taste and if you can find Key limes, use them for your pies!
That being said, I just made some mini key lime pies last week and I bought the Key limes at Whole Foods Harbor East.
re: scarlet starlet
I agree... I also think that maybe they haven't had real Key lime pie.
I've seen key limes in the produce section of both Giant on York Road as well as Whole Foods. They are sold in a green mesh bag and there are about a dozen to each bag. I agree that juice from fresh key limes are best but if you can't get a hold of them, use fresh Persian (regular) limes. The bottled juice stuff, no matter how "original" or "gourmet" just tastes awful.
re: rHairing
just roll your limes back and forth firmly on the counter to soften them up for maximum juice.

This was the best last minute activity that my partner and I decided to do. We saw so much wildlife up close and it was a really exciting experience. Thanks!
Highly recommended! We enjoyed perfect weather, and a local operator with a wealth of local knowledge helped make this activity one of the best in Akaroa. Was great to get up close to sea birds, Hector's Dolphins, Fairy penguins, seals and sea caves. Tony makes you feel as if you are a family friend and points out the best places...
Met by Tony, our friendly host we ventured out of the harbour. We were treated to a variety of wildlife, including penguins, dolphins and seals. Tony was full of great info and made the kids feel relaxed and a welcomed part of the trip. Fully recommend this experience!
We hadn't planned to go on this visit, but after chatting with Tony as he prepared his boat for the afternoon trip we decided to join him and were so pleased we did.
Tony is a really friendly guy and extremely knowledgable on the nature, geology and culture of the region. As his boat is much smaller than the other...
Akoroa is a charming village built in the french stlye. We took a boat trip with CoastupClose which was excellent. It is a smaller boat run by local fisherman Tony who was both amusing and an absolute fount of knowledge on all the sealfe. Highly recommend this trip
We had arrived at akaroa a day earlier and were looking for something to do. We walked down the peer and had a look at the trips around the harbour, most of them had lots of people on/booked in so we looked around a bit more and spotted a sign for a trip which took small groups, we got greeted...
We just got back from 28 days on the Oosterdam. We booked this tour on our own and had a great time. We saw seals, hector dolphins, a penquin, numerous birds and had a great time. I would highly recommend this company.
My wife booked to go on Coast Up Close whilst I was on a "swimming with dolphins" trip with Black Cat. She chose it because it was a smaller boat and because of "Fluffy" the dog, who quite often goes out on the boat. It was so goos she insisted I submitted a review!
The wife's review: Tony the skipper...
we chose this boat trip because it was run by a guy called Tony and dog Fluffy - so we guessed he was going to know his stuff and the tour would be very personalised. We were right. We also liked the fact that his boat wasn't too big and he doesn't pack it full, so there was plenty of...
We have arrived to Akaroa on Holland America in November 2013.
The town has a unique French flavor with tons of historic buildings. We made our reservation through Cynthia with Coast Up Close, it turned out to be one of our most memorable attractions.
Our captain, Tony Muir, was like an old friend,welcoming us on his wonderfully refurbished wooden vessel....

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — The online recruiting firm Jobvite.com says 75% of American workers are either seeking or open to new career opportunities. This itch to move is no short-term phenomenon, but a culture of "constant job-seeking" that is another cog in the notorious "new normal" economists and sociologists talk about.
One-third of U.S. employees say finding a job is more difficult today than a year ago, the firm says, and 41% of U.S. workers believe they are "overqualified" for desired jobs. But that's not stopping them from thinking of making a change.
How can job-seekers stand out in such a competitive environment? Jobvite says that social networking sites are a huge hit with employers and employees (and job-hunters).
Facebook is the No. 1 social networking site in the U.S. for job-seekers, with an 83% adoption rate among them. Twitter and LinkedIn are coming on fast, though. Twitter is now used as a job-hunting tool by 46% of workers, as opposed to 37% last year, and LinkedIn saw its adoption rate climb from 32% to 41% on a year-to-year basis.
How can you leverage social media to improve your job and career prospects? It's surprisingly simple to do, while not doing anything to upgrade your social media presence can really work against you.

Hayes St. Grill
Just caught a quick dinner at HSG and it felt as if i went to a whorehouse, wham bam TY mam. That'll be $75.
On the plus side it is reliable, the fish is fresh and well prepared, the waitstaff knows if you are hurrying to a show.
But really a piece of fish, and I'd say the portions are 6 oz maybe 8, some watercress (the plate looked lonely and vacant) and a bowl of french fries for $25 is...not worth going back to unless you are there for that pre performance dinner which is why it makes the place feel sleazy, imo. We did indeed have two nice fishies, a mahi and a sierra (whatever that is from mex.) cooked on the grill. The chopped salad was not at all generous for $10 and a glass of wine at just short of $10.
So maybe all I'm asking for is an alternative in the area, please help.
ps- pescatarian diet
I've never been, but have always had that impression of the place. I've been wanting to try their prix fixe dinner, which sounds like a good deal at $29.
that was kind of my impression the first and only time I ate there in 95. I didn't feel ripped off, just not really impressed. classic room, but too many other good (and classic) places to be found. The proximity to Opera and Symphony prob. sustain it.
to be fair, they took a chance on the neighborhood well before it became anywhere near hip, in fact the area was kinda skanky (and more fun) until the freeway came down.
re: hill food
Good QUALITY fish and that is it.
re: hill food
The place reminds me of a nunnery with the green carpet and the straight-laced interior. The service is cold and the place seems oddly detached.
That's the most apt description of HSG I've ever heard. Hilarious!
Some alternatives: Zoya on Grove--the food has been consistently good, the owners are charming, friendly and helpful. It's tiny, but I've never seen it full. (I've never been there pre-show, though).
Paul K. is one of our standbys in that neighborhood. Great cocktails, and yummy interesting food.
If you don't want a full meal and you can swing a seat, sitting at the bar at Jardiniere for a glass of champagne and a couple of small dishes is always a swellegant and delicious option.
re: Pistou
did you see Traci des Jardin got bounced off one of those stupid America's Top Hell Kitchen shows a year or so ago? Made me realize how little "Reality" is actually in these "reality" shows - note the capitalization.
I'm always skeptical of that genre.
yeah if you want an old-style CA seafood joint, Tadich, Sam's, Swan's etc.
Herb Caen still haunts these places - HSG too I'm sure.
re: Pistou
I thought I read in the Chronicle that Zoya on Grove closed because the couple wants to reopen in a larger location?
I just had lunch there yesterday. I really enjoyed my fish and love their french fries, my lunch companion really liked the hamburger. I know its pricey but the quality and the sustainable aspect is very important to me. I like to know where the meat comes from and that the fish is sustainable. I am always willing to pay more for quality and good professional service.
re: Lori SF
yes it is good for a regular thing, just not overwhelming for an occasional place. I have no complaints, when I was living in that 'hood it was kind of a splurge (student at the time).
re: hill food
I understand that in my case it was expensed by my vendor.
Fish is really expensive the higher the quality the higher the price.
re: hill food
The quality of the seafood is excellent. I had some scallops there once, perhpas the best I've ever had.
That said, the place is boring, fall asleep boring...not that there's anything wrong with that. Perfect place to bring your older relatives however since you can definitely hold a conversation there...if you don't fall asleep.
Too bad. Doesn't look like things have changed much in the past four years..
re: Robert Lauriston
Robert, yes. Sorry about the ambiguity but I'll take both a pre performance dining spot AND a good meal in the neighborhood. Is that so much to ask for? take my $75-100 or??? and allow me to see a show. However if your answers are diferent I'll take that too.
re: 510jeff
Pre-performance dining is just about impossible. I cut my losses and have a steak salad at the bar of Sauce, which generally isn't a particularly chowish place but at least I can get some satisfying food and a drink for $30-$40, in and out in 30 min if that's what I need to do.
You might consider somewhere up or down market street for dinner, and then use the reasonably frequent public transit on Market to get to the show after your meal. Since taxis are now impossible to rely on for anything time-sensitive, you're now pretty limited in terms of where you can eat before a show.
re: SteveG
Steve, have taxis EVER been reliable in SF? I had a friend with elaborate strategies (before they upped the number of medallions) about what street and from which corner to hail, had better luck than most, but still took forever.
and to RL's comment Suppenkuche is an all-time fave.
re: 510jeff
For a quick pre-performance meal, I'd go to Gyro King rather than deal with the rush at upscale places. More likely I'd go to Thai House Express afterwards.
In the neighborhood, Sebo (sushi), Suppenküche (German), and Absinthe (Cal-French) are really good. Sebo might be doable before a show if you were first in line when they open at 6pm and sit at the bar.
Bodega Bistro is a good spot for a preperformance meal, and you can certainly get good fish dishes there. I just had dinner there before an event at Herbst Theater, and it was I think less than a 10-minute walk (and not even too icky if you cut over to Polk or Van Ness instead of walking down Larkin).
How about Indigo? We go there often before the opera, and I've always had a good experience.
