      Shadow and Act Staff Shadow and Act The fact that “Dawn of The Planet of The Apes” is a summer tent-pole with a brain and a conscience shouldn’t be this refreshing... Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is still the best big budget summer movie of 2014. Mar 21, 2017 Full Review David Sims AV Club Dawn is not interested in staging conflict for the sake of it, and the misunderstandings and tensions that drive the plot don't always feel like contrivances. Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" maintains a credible tone of seriousness over farce while operating as evocative post-apocalyptic science fiction. Rated: 5/5 Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Matt Reeves... delivers both action spectacle and character drama, and he rightfully centers the entire film on Caesar, the noble leader who understands the best and worst of humanity ... Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies There is some great action, awesome effects, and the performances are strong (none better than the stunning work of Andy Serkis). Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      NTnoah T Because of Matt Reeves entering the action, he gives this Franchise into a whole other level than I never got to experience before and how these stories are made. Andy Serkis is another one of my most favorite iconic actors in the world and getting to see him expand all his skills in motion capture that builds up Cinemas biggest screening process that comes to existence once again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Gorptholemew T 🍅 9.3/10 Obama cameo. The tension and set up is just perfect and thrilling throughout with characters  have bits of depth that you understand the actions there preforming. And action with true spectacle. Grade A Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Justin K Without a doubt the greatest movie in this Franchise! All of the characters were well written, CGI was amazing, and the pacing was great! This movie gave us both an amazing protagonist and antagonist. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Gabrielle D Absolutely brilliant movie. One of the only movies in which I think the second is better than the first. Characters brilliantly written, I found myself rooting for both sides at once. No one was truely “evil” and it was refreshing to see. The complication of the story did not result from poor communication or a misunderstanding (which many similar movies do) but rather the characters doing what is best for themselves and their loved ones. Great to see such depth to each character. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Ryland C Man, I just loved it! While it’s not as a good as the first in my opinion, I still was amazed by it! The action is so good! The actors were amazing! And the CGI is still great! I don’t know what to say, Planet of the Apes is breath taking and so far an amazing franchise! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Jordan S This sequel takes everything that Rise did well, and made it great. The motion capture on the apes is stellar and the interactions between the apes and humans are improved upon in this film. The stakes of the story are set up very well and the climax is both entertaining and dramatic. Overall, Dawn is a worthy sequel to an amazing reboot.
