Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes

Plot: Set in the aftermath of a devastating virus, resources are scarce. Mankind desperately needs resources found deep within the apes territory, setting up a conflict.

First off, this movie is very similar to The Dark Knight, it does for its franchise what Nolan did so well in the modern Dark Knight Trilogy. 

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes outdoes its reboot in every way.

What I really loved about this movie was that even when there was no action, the movie had so much intensity. The apes were so mysterious and lifelike, and that is the action of this film. You are so drawn to Caesar's ape kingdom, and the mannerisms between apes that you can't help but say;

WOW!!!

That is not to say that the humans weren't good, they were fine, but it was the visual scope of the apes combined with a great emotional Andy Serkis performance that makes this a great mind-blowing visual experience.

My Grade: 

A+ (Yes, a perfect score for the Apes)
