So on my birthday I went to go see, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes." This movie went way above my expectations. Way better than its predecessor, this is so far the best movie of the year. It was a perfect movie to see on my 16th Birthday. Now on to the story.
10 years after the first Planet of the Apes, a virus has spread. A huge percent of Humans are either dead from the virus, or went crazy and killed each other. While the humans that survived after this 10 year virus breakout, ( And are now amune it) they search for basic resources like generate electricity. The Humans seem to only want light. And while most of the apes want to live in peace, including their leader Caesar, some apes want war with the humans. It is the set up for an incredible conflict. And asks the great questions about who we are, and how we think of ourselves. What an incredible movie! There are terrific performances from Gary Oldman, Jason Clarke, and most of all Andy Serkis. I join the loud choir of people who say that we need to give this very talented man an oscar. His work as Caesar is detailed, and heart breaking. .What an emotional roller coaster. It also has great special effects, and fantastic action. And the story was amazing.
THE VERDICT:
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a rare sequel that exceeds expectations, and is much better than its predecessor. Spectacular, and thrilling, I give "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" an A.
