"I always think... ape better than human. I see now... how much like them we are."
Our Planet of the Apes Caesar trilogy continues with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014).
Ten years after the Simian Flu outbreak, the human population has collapsed and Caesar's tribe has established an ape colony near San Francisco.
When a group of humans unknowingly enter their territory, it sets off escalating tensions that will turn ape against ape, human against human and force both species into all-out-war.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes continues the origin story of the Ape takeover of Earth through a though-provoking and morally-complex Shakespearean tragedy that examines what it means to be human, is co-existence possible between two different groups and how your past can define you?
It is a masterclass in acting, writing, direction and cinematography and could be viewed as one of the greatest sequels of the 21st century!
