Serving as a sequel that improves upon its predecessor, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes adds resonant depth to the complex political tragedy to the narrative of a long-living franchise. However, Dawn triumphs more spectacularly in a way few films before it had done so through unsolicited and unforced emotion and depth that makes Dawn a true modern science fiction classic, something that the original creators of Planet of the Apes would be very proud of. Both Rise and Dawn are thought provoking films that challenge our perception of our very own species through another. A film that truly touches it's audience with heartfelt passion and remorse for humanity, Dawn is the kind of film that films as an art form and the film industry needs in general. Dawn really is something that deserves appreciation few films in our day can only dream of achieving what Dawn has.
With a plethora of solid characters from both ends of the tale, an explosive sequence of events and a rather poetic script, Dawn raises the bar for the Planet of the Apes franchise and other big-budget philosophical productions of it's caliber. An emotionally heavy and truly moving film, Dawn is an absolute marvel of modern science fiction, building upon the strong and unmovable foundations Rise of the Planet of the Apes had left earlier.

The CGI integration is seamless, especially when so many apes appear at once alongside humans. In one sequence the camera is rotated an entire 360 degrees revealing the destruction of humans and apes at war, which makes for the most dramatic scene in the entire movie. The way in which the intense battle sequences are filmed, set this movie apart from every other action blockbuster. The contrast from the lush green forests and the dilapidated San Francisco makes for a great setting, and the way it’s filmed cannot be understated. A war between apes and humans is inevitable and nothing can stop what is to come, not even Caesar. When the humans and apes try to work together Koba ruins every chance for peace through violence. Caesar is now in charge of the apes and only wants what’s best for his kind, but Koba, Caesar’s right hand man, has other ideas.
