Ten years after simian flu wiped out much of the world's homosapiens, genetically enhanced chimpanzee Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his ever-growing band of followers have established a thriving colony just outside San Francisco in Muir Woods. Meanwhile, a small band of human survivors emerges, which forces Caesar -- as leader -- to grapple with the dual challenge of protecting his people and re-establishing a relationship with the remaining human population -- the latter being Caesar's secret wish.

The fact that “Dawn of The Planet of The Apes” is a summer tent-pole with a brain and a conscience shouldn’t be this refreshing...

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is still the best big budget summer movie of 2014.

AV Club

Dawn is not interested in staging conflict for the sake of it, and the misunderstandings and tensions that drive the plot don't always feel like contrivances.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" maintains a credible tone of seriousness over farce while operating as evocative post-apocalyptic science fiction.

Rated: 5/5

Matt Reeves... delivers both action spectacle and character drama, and he rightfully centers the entire film on Caesar, the noble leader who understands the best and worst of humanity ...

Because of Matt Reeves entering the action, he gives this Franchise into a whole other level than I never got to experience before and how these stories are made. Andy Serkis is another one of my most favorite iconic actors in the world and getting to see him expand all his skills in motion capture that builds up Cinemas biggest screening process that comes to existence once again.
