Director Rupert Wyatt gets an adequate performance from Franco and a rather hammy one from Olyelowo, and Pinto is primarily window dressing, but moments
of brilliance from Lithgow and a truly astounding performance by Andy Serkis as the
motion -
capture - animated Caesar make rise
of the Planet
of the Apes
worth seeing.

The UK
motion capture outfit set up a 70 camera location system from its 162 camera inventory, on a soundstage to record two days
worth of full performance
capture for Far Cry 3's multiplayer campaign.
Aside from that, EA has touted improvements to the animation with a real - time player animation technology that appears to have taken
motion of capture of the popular Football players like Ronaldo to make sure their behavior mimics how they play in the game, but this is hardly something
worth praising about here.
