Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is the sequel to the surprisingly good and financially successful Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It takes place eight years after the virus from Rise has ravaged humanity leaving the apes, led by Caesar (Andy Serkis), the dominant species on Earth. A band of survivors including Gary Oldman and Jason Clarke struggle among themselves to decide if they can co-exist with the apes or to make one last-or maybe not depending on how well this does- not so last stand to take Earth back for humanity.

EDIT: Early review are killing it on Metacritic as of 7/3

The first movie really went out of its way to make references to the Icarus mission. I would love to see that explored, but it's likely just a nod to the original series.

If they did a third film, I could see them going through with something like that. It should be worth noting that Rupet Wyatt did not direct this one and there are two additional writers credited on this one.

Don't forget that Matt Reeves, director of Cloverfield and Let Me In, is directing this movie.

I only hope that a reference to "ape-mixing" is made in this movie, to drive the metaphor in.

I really doubt that the Icarus mission was just a nod or an "easter egg". It was mentioned two times - when the mission was launched and during the third act when the spaceship gets lost in space somewhere. It has to lead to something in Dawn of the Apes or the next sequel.

I don't think they can afford to directly lead into an equivalent to or a remake of Planet of the Apes, I think it's just the inevitable future that these films are building towards but won't directly address or depict.

I've never seen the originals, but apes are some of my favorite animals and I loved Rise. I think the original was really good for being both a reboot and a prequel.

In the old version, or the new one?

I think the Icarus missions and whatever happened in Gen-Sys labs was unrelated.

In the old one, I remember some sort of virus/sickness appeared, killing all domestic pets like cats and dogs.

The trailer for this movie was done ridiculously well. Rise was good (as long as there weren't humans on the screen) but this trailer, as well as the change in directors/additional writers, significantly raised my expectations for what this film could end up doing.

In the original novel isn't the ape planet fully advanced? Driving cars, broadcast media, etc. Sounds like a possible third film might be the closest to the original source material yet considering humanity has died out due to disease and not nuclear annihilation-- leaving behind their infrastructure.

Boulle's novel is less a sci-fi setting and more like philosophical literature. From what I remember, it's just modern day with apes and humans transposed, like War With The Newts or something.

Definitely watch the original, Charlton Heston is such a miserable poo poo in it and it's a good time.

I liked Rise and went to see it totally based on the fact that it had a huge gorilla charging a man on a horse in the trailer and I stand by my decision making.

Also in Boulle's novel the titular "Planet of the Apes" wasn't Earth. Although at the end of the book the main characters Escape from the Planet of the Apes and return to Earth only to find out there was a Conquest and now it is the Planet of the Apes too.


I think its funny how apparently a new trend in movie advertising is Jason Clarke yelling.

Apparently the studio is happy with what they've seen so far as Matt Reeves has been hired again to do the sequel to this.

Ok, I just have to say.

I've always been disappointed with the direction this franchise has taken since the reboot.

Since the :bahgawd: original :bahgawd:, I've always thought the apes taking over was a naturalistic transition: One species replacing the other * gradually, in the inevitable march towards the future. Rather than:

a) Apes become intelligent due to science experiment.
b) But humans have massive technological superiority, But humans have massive numerical superiority, How did the Apes do [x] when it's infeasible they can do the required [y], even with their new intelligence
c) Apes take over the world in a few years.

Just seems a bit quick and rushed without saying anything profound like the original.

* While humans move underground and develop psychic powers due to pollution.

I hope the new one keeps on focusing more in the apes than in the humans, that's something I liked so much from the first.

Looks amazing. Serkis and the effects folk are going to make you forget you're looking at a computer generated character, again.

This is really the best kind of remake, where they take the original concept and explore it in an interesting new way. What if we had to share the planet with an emerging sentient species? It's easy to empathize with the apes here.

Humans got hosed by the virus and by intraspecies fighting, weakening them. Apes together strong.

poo poo. I am way confused. I thought there was just one virus (just that made the apes intelligent). I'm guessing there are two? One that enhanced the apes and another that kills humanity?

But regardless, yes, with regard to the war in the trailer, I guess it's just hard for me to believe humans lose this unless like 90% of the population was wiped out. I didn't even think the apes could reproduce that fast.

You should watch it again dude. It was the same virus, the apes got smarter because of it, but it killed humans.

That is precisely what happens at the end of Rise. They point it out in the trailer, too.

That was pretty intense, huh?

There was a pretty distinct sequence of events in Rise where one of the ape handlers gets infected and dies from the "cure" for brain diseases that Franco had been working on. It's pretty heavily foreshadowed that the humans would be wiped out by an interspecies disease and not necessarily the apes. [edit] Heavily implied in the credits as well, as others have mentioned. Forgot about that.
