Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014)

The second film in the reboot of the Planet Of The Apes series and essentially the film equivalent of Battle for the Planet of the Apes, except Dawn is 100 times better. CGI Apes have never looked so good in a this gripping, hugely enjoyable and utterly great film. The visuals are superb, the acting is great and of course there's the masterful tank shot. Dawn is an exceedingly well crafted mainstream blockbuster with heart and strong themes and  though it did maybe a little draggy in places in the first half, the second half is super strong and very satisfying.
Overall building on the success of it's predecessor , Dawn is another great ape film that is thoroughly entertaining.
