Amazes me the amount of emotion and character we get from these apes
While this feels like a longer movie then it’s not predecessor, it feels as good as the first one, but with more of an evolution of the apes
The effects and characterization of the apes makes this one work. A bit too much foreshadowing makes it predictable. But still impressive.
Unlike most sequences, this is powerful. Of course we should exclude CGIs which experienced a downfall.
Noteworthy epic on many levels building the franchise with depth, heart and action. Worth it for genre fans. So much in one movie impresses.
Loved these movies. Brought back a great piece of sci fi.
Admit it. It’s the best monkey movie. Great story,plot,acting,cgi,characters,action, fucken VILLAIN. Respect the cgi acting king Andy cricus
Good continuation, CGI holds up very well 10 years later.
.. not as good as the first, but still worth it.
9/10 no James Franco which I was upset about but after about 3 minutes I totally forgot about it because this movie was great from the start

A highly intelligent chimpanzee named Caesar has been living a peaceful suburban life ever since he was born. But when he gets taken to a cruel primate facility, Caesar decides to revolt against those who have harmed him.
A group of scientists in San Francisco struggle to stay alive in the aftermath of a plague that is wiping out humanity, while Caesar tries to maintain dominance over his community of intelligent apes.
Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.
Several generations following Caesar's reign, apes – now the dominant species – live harmoniously while humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all he's known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.
