Review of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) by Adpirtle — 01 Aug 2014

This eighth (!) picture in the Planet of the Apes franchise gives the original film a run for its money. Building on the aftermath of the last film, this movie places Caesar at the center of the story, and it's surprising how well it works, given that he and all of his simian costars are (wonderfully) computer generated characters.

In fact, the only sleight I can give this otherwise wonderful picture is that the actual human characters feel much more artificial than the titular apes.
