Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes: The Third ( And Hopefully Final) Instalment Of The Planet Of The Apes Trilogy.

The planet of the apes franchise has released it latest offering the Dawn of The Planet of The Apes. The film premiered on Thursday 10^th July and so far it promises to be a resounding success having generated sales in the region of $ 4.1 million that’s according to the Internet Movie Database, IMDb. The movie opened in 2750 theatres in North America on Thursday night.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) follows in the tradition of the other two instalments Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and The Planet of the Apes ( 2001). For those of you not in the know the series is a science fiction adventure that follows the antics of Caesar the Ape.

Caesar the Hyper Intelligent Ape

Caesar the ape mutated into a hyper intelligent being after receiving a shot of Gen Sys vaccine, ALZ-112, designed to cure neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. At the risk of being a major spoiler, you really need to watch the two preceding movies.

Caesar undergoes harassment at the hands of the zoo keepers after being ejected from the house of Dr Will Rodman who raised him, after noticing his talents.

 Caesar leads a revolt in the zoo releasing all the other primates at the zoo this after, he resorts to bipedalism and human speech. The plot picks up from the last installment Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) where Caesar the ape has now morphed into a fully fledged human (read hyper intelligent being) bent on revenging the misdeeds that were meted out on him, his mum and other apes in captivity by humans.

The Dawn of The Planet of The Apes- 2014 Summer Blockbuster.

The Dawn of The Planet of The Apes is proving to be a real summer blockbuster going by the rave reviews it is already receiving from social media barely 24 hours after it premiered on the big screen in the USA. This movie is big on 3D animation as evidenced by the 350 and 360 large screen format the picture has been released in.

 I have watched the movie and I must say it is not as good as the first installment Planet of the Apes though the SFX are mindboggling. I strongly recommend this movie as it promises to be the biggest release for the summer of 2014.
