RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (2011) - WETA Visual Effects Featurette

This featurette is an in-depth look into the complex process of bringing the apes in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" to life, using the technology developed by WETA Digital, the visual effects company that worked on "Lord of the Rings", "King Kong" and "Avatar". The results are indeed breathtaking and this could possibly earn WETA another Oscar for their amazing visual effects. And it might be time for Andy Serkis to receive some well deserved recognition during the awards season as well. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is now in theaters.

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES - Full-Length Trailer

The full trailer for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is here and it's showcasing some very interesting drama on top of the sci-fi thriller we already expect it to be. The action looks great and the motion-captured CGI apes look eerily realistic, and I don't usually admire CGI that much. The prequel to "Planet of the Apes" opens on August 5, 2011. Let's hope it will be all it promises to be and not less.
