Dawn of the planet of the Apes

This movie is smarter then your average summer blockbuster and it is well directed and very well acted and some of the special effects are very impressive. Still I could not get past the fact that this is just a beat for beat remake of Battle for the Planet of the Apes with one hundred times that films budget and a longer running time. All of this film's strengths and weaknesses are the same as that film's, to the point where it seems pointless to review this film as it's own film. Now I liked BFTPOTA so I don't think there is anything wrong with this film, it's just a straight up remake, nothing more nothing less.

6.5/10.
