PLOT
The storyline picks up ten years after we saw Ceasar (Andy Serkis) and his fellow simian escapees seek refuge in the Muir woods near San Francisco. Caesar now leads and governs a new generation of apes, while the remaining humans (because the simian flu caused many deaths) live in a guarded tower within the ruined San Francisco city. The humans need to find a new energy source so they send small expedition into the forest where they encounter apes. An accident happens and the peace between mankind and apes is threatened.
REVIEW
If you want to see a great science fiction film, this is it! The movie executes a perfect balance of action sequences, special effects with believable characters, strong storytelling, plus it gives you a lot to think and care about. Once again we witness the outstanding motion-capture performances by Andy Serkis, Toby Kebbell and others. There is nothing new to be honest but the execution is undeniably great. An enjoyable sci-fi, even better than the first one (review here) and one of this year's must see! 4+/5
