IslandGuru Who payed the critics

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Mynameisroman Normally you don't expect too much from sequels but here I was surprised how good this movie is. maybe not as good the the previous one but its definitely a different movie and thats a good thing. the story makes sense and the events of the movie are the result of bad decisions by individuals. However the story wasn't perfect and had some flaws in how a couple of humans behaved. But they needed to get the story going so i might forgive that. The CGI was great and believable too. one thing that was a little over the top was the state of the city. a little too overgrown by nature in only 10 years. but its just a detail. overall a very good movie!

anh-94946 I really liked Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but this one is so much better. Just everything about this movie is pitch perfect. The biggest improvement from the last one is that the human characters were significantly more interesting. Also, this movie has probably the most creepy/sad opening ever. I love this movie.

Kirpianuscus I love the stories around "Planet of Apes" in their different adaptations. but "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" is more than a good film from the serie. it has a powerfull, convincing, dramatic story. it has CGI as basic tool and that is fantastic for the art to use it not as jewel but as the right tool. it has the perfect cast. and it is a smart mix of parable, warning, feelings and picture of human virtues and sins. it has all the chances to be one of films proposing the new perspective about the near reality. that does it special. and more than a cityplex movie. but a good opportunity to reflect, in not conventional way, about the future of mankind. and that does it a real remarkable film.

Michael Ledo Roddy McDowall is now out of a job being replaced by a sexless CG ape. During the opening credits we quickly discover the ALZ 113 virus has killed off many humans creating a quarantine condition which for some unexplained reason caused rioting and killing off more humans. In spite of the weak plot point, it was more probable then the original dog/cat virus which lead to breeding apes with long gestation periods as pets.The film spends time building ape character with perfect English syntax subtitles. In this plot, our quarantined humans are running short on fuel and seek to restart a hydro-electric dam in ape territory and seem willing to go to war for oil, er ah, energy if need be. Koba, a neo-con ape, doesn't trust the humans and wants to have a first strike. (Koba was a nickname for Stalin.)Some of the initial soundtrack and imagery reminded me of "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" with later scenes of cooperation reminiscent of the final film and TV series. There was nothing bad about the CG apes, except they got their money's worth from them. The ape on ape fighting was far too long, reminding me of that first Iron Man film.Okay, this film is done. I am ready for the film where women wear the Linda Harrison loin cloths.
