Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species.

Et tu, Koba?
This was even better than I remembered. VFX still look fantastic ten years removed. Koba looks completely menacing, but those moments when he’s feigning ignorance to gain access to the weapons cache are brilliantly realized. It’s a wonderful portrayal of how the actions of a few bad actors can seriously degrade the trust and goodwill of opposing forces. This was a really great film to revisit with my kids. They were gripped from start to finish.
