Don’t be fooled by the previews. This isn’t ‘Attack of the Killer Apes’ or ‘How the Humans Die.’ It's a tearful tale of one baby chimpanzee, Caesar. Born in a lab, Caesar’s genetic makeup has been altered. He is smart, fast, emotional, and so very confused. His tale from ‘pet’ to leader of a revolution is heartbreaking, but somehow triumphant.
John Lithgow pulls off ‘struggling and sick father’ so well, and Tom Felton, who's probably the final catalyst of the ape revolutionary, made me hate him…well, almost. The effects blew me away, and for a prequel, I highly recommend.
Trivia Time!
What makes a primate a monkey versus an ape? :) I learned this from my five year old niece. Answers in comments, please!

It was a dark and sad movie.
Monkeys have tails, apes don't?
I'm guessing it's the tails, too . . .
Thanks for the review.
"If it doesn't have a tail, it's not a monkey..." and here's a song to go with it:
