Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a great movie, a classic; it was loved by so many that a sequel was made and premiered in July of this year. There are a lot of sequels that don’t succeed because viewers compare everything about the new movie to the prequel, but this was not the case with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Ten years after simian flu wiped out much of the world’s homosapiens, genetically enhanced chimpanzee Caesar and his followers have established a colony near San Francisco. Meanwhile, a small group of human survivors emerges, and that forces Caesar to grapple with the challenge of protecting his people and re-establishing a relationship with the remaining human population. Caesar wants very much to re-establish that human relationship.

The movie was entertaining and the technological effects were amazing. This is a movie in which the original can hook a viewer without fear that the sequel will disappoint in any way. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes keeps viewers entertained and involved. The action-packed storyline makes this movie a must-see.
