Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #15 extract: Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014)

Though it is excellent, this is my least favourite film of the prequel trilogy. This all comes down to the over-use of the human characters. 

What Dawn then really establishes is the fact that humans are the most problematic aspect of The Planet Of The Apes; they just can't get them right. Dawn, however, has particularly uninteresting and the least complex of human characters. The greatest element of this film, however, is the arc of Caesar that sees him rise from a mere leader and awakener of the apes, to a young and established king.
