Review: "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" has all the characteristics of a blockbuster. It is a story of survival among the species that depend on disappointment, trust and forgiveness.

The film is set 10 years after the events of 2011 published "Planet of the Apes. Origins" For those who missed the previous edition, the news, which acts as a prologue sums.

A deadly virus monkey is erased from the human race. We assume that the spread of the virus that comes after mass escape monkey Gen Sys Labs, San Francisco. Human beings in the world in its existing So desperate attempt to survive, take every precaution to life forty ghetto.
In addition, monkeys escaped with orangutans, gorillas and chimpanzees led by Caesar (Andy Serkis) and assisted by Koba (Toby Kebbell), Maurice Ash survive in the forests of California, beyond human misery .

Meanwhile, in San Francisco the surviving group of people controlled by the former military Dreyfus (Gary Oldman) lost power and access to a barrier in the required forest.

So a small group led by a former architect, Malcolm (Jason Clarke) and accompanied by his girlfriend Ellie (Keri Russell) who breastfeed, Alejandro son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) and other participants to venture into the forest. Soon their paths cross with initially surprised both sides monkeys; Monkeys are angry to see that there are still people and people were surprised to learn that talking monkeys.

Rational and logical, Caesar gives access to missing Malcolm prey. This caused a rift between the monkeys, which in turn reflects the "Monkey Man" nature "Monkey Man" in both species. This forms the basis of all history.

Packed with mono-to-human chaos and subplots in human philosophies, logic and pleasure of the film is conceptually brilliant and attractive, but no inspiration or thought provoking.

On the performance level, to provide most of the main characters above expectations.

Andy Sark is like the adult dark Caesar with his piercing eyes and layout as the leader of his tribe and Toby Kebbell as Koba, badly monkey hate human drama ally fanged give the most intense and attractive performance in a document not human.

His face full of action to face, with its subtle sign language which is interpreted correctly by the subtitle is the climax of the film.

Director Matt Reeves has a dramatic balance well with the plot and scenes. He skillfully handles the action scene and emotional highlights close and personal with the same dedication. It takes you into a cinematic world that is as realistic and believable.

Congratulations to production designer James Chinlund and visual effects supervisor Joe Letteri and Dan Lemmon for their contribution.

To have a constant and a perfect representation of monkey world and dystopian state, is not a small feat. Equally commendable how skillfully the Director of Photography Michale capture Seresin whose plots merge perfectly with CGI.

Overall, the film is beautifully styled and attractive to look at.
