Dawn of the Planet of the Apes does exactly what a sequel should do! It takes everything that made the first film so great and cranks it up to 11. In this film we get to see how the events of Rise of the Planet of the Apes has affected the world as time has gone by. Much like its predecessor, the films is visually stunning with incredible motion capture performances and memorable cinematography. The human side of this story is a bit lack luster in comparison to Rise but thats a small issue as the rest of the film is jaw dropping in every other way. The action sequences are uncomfortable to anything I have ever seen and we are given incredible character development for both our protagonist Cesar as well as our antagonists Koba who's rivalry carries this film and sets up the next installment in this franchise perfectly!
