I just got back from the theater where I went to see: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Let me start by telling you that this movie is flawless. Everything was amazing. The special effects were great, While I was watching the movie I had almost forgotten that those weren't real apes. This is just because all actors were amazing and did a wonderful job at impersonating apes. Another great aspect of the movie was that there's no right or wrong. You simply do not know who to cheer for because everyone is, in his own mind, doing the right thing. Koba and Ceasar and Malcolm and Dreyfus all think that they are doing the right thing and this makes the movie great. At times you feel sorry for the humans, and at times you feel sorry for the Apes. You even feel sorry for the undisputed villain Koba, when he points at all his scars saying that all they did was experiment on Apes. This movie is also a perfect example of how characters should be handled and developped. Exactly the opposite of what happened in Transformers: Age of extinction where we only cared about two characters and the supporting characters are simply too idiotic to care for. Here, in this movie, we get to know all side characters, we get to understand their personalites and the ideals that drive them.
The plot had absolutely no flaws and never once you feel like a particular scene could have been cut out.
The best part of the movie was, without any doubt, Ceasar played by Andy Serkis. He has now become one of the best actors in Hollywood and the undisputed best actor when it comes to motion capture.
I, actually thought that Ceasar was dead, half way into the movie, when they found him lying on the ground with his eyes wide open. I truly thought that that was the direction they were going for in order to have the Apes take over and win against the remaining humans but luckly he survived.
On a side note, one of the things I enjoyed less was the score which was anything but memorable and Kirk Acevedo's character.
No reasonable explaination was given as to why he was pissed at the Apes, and he kept on messing everything up for the humans. His character was simply a plot device to get the story where it was supposed to go.

Overall this movie deserves a 9/10 and so far this is my second favourite film of the year.
