Dawn of the Planet of the Apes





Cast: Jason Clarke(Malcolm),Gary Oldman(Dreyfus),Keri Russell(Ellie),Andy Serkis(Caesar),Toby Kebbell(Koba)
Director: Matt Reeves
Genre:  Sci-Fi, Action, Thriller


A movie that connects superficially intelligent wild apes to humans. This one is a good quality watch!



You may look forward to:

  • Most of the credit goes to the amazing cinematography and to the director. The colonization of the apes and a world much separated from that of humans, beautifully portrayed. Takes you to a world of a different level of civilization all together
  • The story line, is not very complex, rather revolves around human quest for basic requirements Vs the angst and revenge of the apes amidst some good apes who want to preserve what they managed to procure. What is really moving is how regardless of races, there are evils as well as angels inside everybody
  • Jason Clarke acted the mediator between two different civilization with a sole purpose and to achieve the same, much appreciated
  • Gary Oldman and Keri Russell, were good human supports
  • The two main voices behind the apes were that of Andy Serkis for 'Caesar' and Toby Kebbell for 'Koba'. Though there were not many dialogues coming from the apes, yet every gesture of the apes were very close to real
  • Cinematography in every action scene were fantastic



What you can sleep over:

Probably drawing comparison to its prequel will be a wrong idea!



The dampeners you should be aware of:

The movie in 3D is an absolute waste, nothing different than in 2D




My Rating: 4/5
