Review of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) by Rainwhole — 20 Oct 2014
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes falters just inches from perfection, mainly because it's somewhat predictable and convenient at times.
Yet, to make things simple. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is not only a fantastic movie filled with great action and emotion. It's also responsible for giving us a powerful sci-fi character to go side by side with the greatest in history like Darth Vader and Spock. That character is Caesar, who was already great in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, however in this movie we see his new phase in the evolution. We get to see what is in my opinion the most compelling character in a sci-fi int he past decade develop himself as a leader.
On top of that, we also get Koba, another fantastic ape that you're bound to keep in your mind for years to come.
Finally, I was super happy and surprise with how solid the human side of the story is. The movie never forgets that is about the apes, but it still manages to give us an interesting and well developed human story on the side.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is FANTASTIC.
