July 12, 2014I still prefer 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' to 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes', but this one was still really good. It would've benefited from being about half an hour shorter, and a little darker, but the special effects and acting were all excellent. Some time after the first movie, the human population has been drastically decreased by a widespread virus. Caesar has created a colony of apes who live in harmony and happiness in the forest until one day, a few meddling human survivors show up and things go south in a hurry. One of the apes, Koba, wants to destroy the humans, but Caesar insists they remain peaceful and diligent. Of course, a few of the humans get antsy and don't feel comfortable with talking apes walking around, so they pick a fight and Koba is more than happy to oblige them. The ensuing battle between apes and humans was pretty epic, and worth seeing primarily for that alone. Like I said, not as good as the first one, but not a bad sequel.
