This film is a sequel to the film Rise of the Planet of the Apes; which is a reboot from the Planet of the Apes franchise. In 2016, the ALZ-113 virus has killed the majority of the human population. Caesar governs a group of rapidly evolving apes in the Muir Woods. After believing that the humans have perished, his son (Blue Eyes) comes across one. Caesar's home becomes threatened by this group of human survivors seeking a way to improve their lives.

This film was directed by Matt Reeves. This film builds upon its predecessors story marvelously by expanding the universe. The story presents these apes with more intelligence and a very humane quality. The film also presents the decline of human civilization by trending on the ruins of its former existence. They also make it plausible for apes to dominate life. While providing its audiences with building tension, it provides an idea that humans aren't the enemy. It shows that with intelligence comes good and bad individuals. Knowing where the direction of the story is going, the film is fairly predictable. However, this film keeps it from being too obvious. It is great watching this adaptation explain how it happened, instead of creating time paradoxes. The computer generated apes looked great on screen. The motion capture also worked wonders for providing a more human feel to them. This does provide a more realistic appearance for the simian cast; which works better than humans in costumes and make-up. Often, they are frightening in an understandable way. There is more violence in this film, but nothing too morbid. Fortunately, for fans of the film, another sequel is already the works. It is unfortunate that some of the old cast did not return for this film. But, it allowed the film to carry into a new chapter. Andy Serkis voiced the character Caesar. This man has landmarked his career from using motion capture and vocal talents. This film carries his talents into new depths. He gave the character so much believability that it made the film successful. He also kept the character strong with a touch of vulnerability that made him likable. Jason Clarke played the role of Malcolm. He offered the human version of the story. The character is familiar, but warm hearted. 

I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It is a great sequel that provides summer audiences with plenty of action.
