Few tweets from Devin Faraci:
"DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is absolutely awesome, incredibly smart and has a truly APES-worthy ending."
"I really liked RISE, but I think DAWN is WAAAAY better. The ape stuff alone is complex, emotional and totally cool."
"DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is the movie of the summer, and one of the year's best."
"BTW DAWN is very much a redo of BATTLE. But much better."

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a powerful and worthy sequel.
One of the biggest strengths of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is its invoking sense of realism which results in an immersive experience.
The visuals effects by Weta Digital in the movie are so great and seamless that one would forget they are CGI apes and early on it pretty much gets taken for granted that they are inhabiting the world.
Leading the charge is Andy Serkis as Caesar. He has many moments of verbal dialogue and sign language (shown with subtitles), but even during scenes where he doesn't even speak a word he is able to display such range of emotions, it's a fine example of his staggering performance. His collaboration with the visual effects team along with the rest of the performance capture team is leaps ahead of the first film.
Michael Giacchino has given the movie an audacious musical score and I look foward to listening to the whole score when it gets released.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a much darker film than Rise of the Planet of the Apes. And it doesn't really have any lighthearted moments. The movie demands your attention and it's gripping till the end as the events unfold.

I liked the movie. The story was predictable, but the execution was well done. The ape characters were really compelling.

That's two for two with this rebooted franchise. Outstanding movie. Further thoughts tomorrow but for now this is a 9/10.
