    Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

    My personal favorite of all three in the series. The conflict between idealistic Caesar and bitter and hateful Koba is even more interesting than conflict apes vs. humans. There´s a big, big tragedy in the relationship of these two friends, later turned into enemies. Koba isn´t the real villain here. He is rather the traumatised victim. "Human work!" scene is overwhelming. Then when he steals the weapons from foolish people while playing normal dumb chimp it is priceless! Post-apo town looks amazing. When the apes come there to tell humans to not come back to the woods, or when they attack in the night, we know the days of humans are counted... There are no simply black or white characters, everyone has a good motivation to do what they do, and the fact they have a good reason and can´t do it different way and the conflict just has to come is the most powerful and tragic about all of it.

    It's okay. Honestly I turned it off about three quarters of the way through. I figured I had given it enough of my time. Special effects were great but not nearly as good as the first one.

    Not quite as good as some of the earlier Planet of the Apes movies, but I'd give it a 4.4 out of 5. Highly recommend, yet it's just not quite a legendary 5 out of 5.

    Excellent Film. Watch Rise of the Planet of the Apes first. These two films make up for Mark Wahlburg remake back in 01.

    What a bunch of dreck! It made no sense whatsoever. The people in San Francisco would have got those guns years ago. And the apes could see lights in San Francisco. They would see fires. And know the humans were there. And then moved away. Sigh.
