Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Is a Heartbreaking, Heavenly Film

Matt Reeves directes the sequel stars Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell and others.

Director Matt Reeves was not messing around when he made Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. He wipes out most of the human race before the title card, then unfurls a powerful story of two opposing societies destined for war despite having every possible opportunity at peace. It’s bleak. It’s bold. It’s bloody fantastic. Next week, Fox will release Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, a new film set in the legendary franchise that began in 1968 with Planet of the Apes.

Once humans learn the apes are thriving, and vice versa, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes gets drenched in a unique, uneasy tension. As the audience, we want everyone to work it all out. The problem is there’s so little trust between the species, and with both thinking almost solely of themselves, the bulk of the film is filled with painful frustration as we watch all the near misses for a peace that would’ve changed the course of history.
