Artistic License Pharmacology: Steven Jacobs asserts to Will that if the ALZ-113 drug tested on chimpanzee boosts positive results for the chimp subject then it will have the same positive effect on humans.
Their job is to closely monitor the chimpanzee's body.
Artistic License Medicine: It seems unusual for lab scientists being unable to detect that a female chimpanzee delivered fresh from the jungle and into their labs was pregnant and gave birth inside its pen.
There is also the fact that humans are just another species of ape, if there is a chemical that transforms all form of ape then it would affect humans similarly.
The apes who become intelligent are from different species which have very different degrees of intelligence in nature, ape species being different between them as they are different from humans, yet ALZ-113 makes them all similarly smart.
That said where do all the new brain cells in the Chimps go, given their far smaller braincases? Which becomes a nice plot point when ALZ-113 proves deadly to humans. Neurogenesis is an inherently slow process, with overly fast neurogenesis causing death.
The drugs had an instantaneous effect on the brain.
The reason that our shoulders are so different from those of apes is believed to be because we evolved to throw weapons, such as spears and rocks, to deadly effect.
Apes are incapable of throwing with the distance and accuracy shown in the film.
but then we wouldn't have two of the most powerful moments in the film, would we? This is best seen in real life as there have been several cases of chimps and gorillas successfully being taught human language but through sign language instead of verbal communication.
Apes cannot speak human languages because of the different structures of their vocal cords, not cognitive capacity.
Also "Apes Together Strong," which serve as Arc Words for all films in this continuity so far.
Apocalypse How: Planetary-level, with the credits showing the lethal-to-humans ALZ-113 being spread around the world.
All There in the Manual: The prequel comic refers to Caesar's father as "Alpha" and details Bright Eyes' days at Gen-Sys.
John Lithgow becomes friends with a primate.
RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES MOVIE
Andy Serkis as another Ape, no less, (if smaller and smarter) let alone in another movie that features an angry gorilla tackling human aircraft.
Biting off someone's finger again, are we, Gollum?.
Draco Malfoy saying "You think that's funny?" and "You're next!".
Draco Malfoy holding the electrocution wand, anyone?.
Draco Malfoy doesn't seem too friendly towards the non-humans either.
Colonel Stryker is seen in the trailer saying, " They're not people, you know.".
The fact that the story takes place in the future is confirmed by a brief reference to a manned mission to Mars.
20 Minutes into the Future: Assuming that the beginning takes place in modern-day 2011, that would point the film's events taking place between 20.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes contains examples of: Fortunate to still have his job afterwards, Will soon finds out that Bright Eyes had just given birth, and she became aggressive as an instinctive attempt to protect her child. Will believes the time is right to fund human testing - but during his pitch to potential backers, Bright Eyes inexplicably goes berserk and gets gunned down in the middle of the meeting. Will Rodman, a scientist attempting to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease (fueled by the desire to cure his father of the illness), finds incredible results with the experimental virus-based drug ALZ-112: "Bright Eyes", a female chimpanzee injected with the drug, becomes more intelligent soon after the drug takes effect. The movie is notable for the prominent use of Serkis Folk (with Andy Serkis himself playing Caesar) to portray the apes. The film is a loose remake of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes and marks the Origin Story for a new Planet of the Apes universe covering a new take on the backstory to the original films. Directed by Rupert Wyatt, the 2011 film Rise of the Planet of the Apes serves as a reboot of the Planet of the Apes franchise.
