THE REVIEW:
This Mark Reeves direction throws you into a world where apes rule as mankind is falling. Caesar, an ape is the king of his castle and his fellow ape disciples followed his every word, until they made contact with humans after a world disaster. We had a developing monkey in the previous movie, this is him in his prime. He understands the world and what it means to have friends, a family and a home. He is one of the most iconic leaders ive seen in a film, his energy and aura bring such presence to his scenes. Andi Serkis deserves an of award for his performance as Caesar.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is the sequel to the 2011 movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes. This is on a much bigger scale. A production of focused storytelling and the most realistic motion capture effects i've seen. From start to finish, its so compelling to watch. The tone throughout the movie is to preserve life and keep peace. Its made clear as the movie progressed that the humans and apes are prepared to go any lengths to protect their own. Another great example of fearing what you don't know. 

Awesome action scenes (Apes riding Horses with guns) and great acting are just a few things to awe at. The ape characters outshine the humans just as you would expect, they just compliment the story rather than to fit around it. The relationship between the two show more similarity if you take away looks. The message is that there is good and bad in every society. The arrogance of humans is transmitted in to the personalities of these apes since they are just as smart. 

An outstanding piece of film-making.
