Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Forever to be confused with 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn picks up eight years or so after the end of its predecessor.
First things first. Rupert Wyatt did not return to direct this sequel. I remember when I heard that news and I was a little disappointed. There was subtlety in Mr. Wyatt's direction that I fear will be lost here in the second one. Instead we have Matt Reeves who is known for the critically acclaimed 2010 horror film Let Me In, which I know nothing about.
All producers and writers are returning from Rise.
Worth noting is the cast. They all seem very good. Of particular interest is Jason Clarke as the lead human character. He is a bit of a rising star these days. He will be playing John Connor in the Terminator reboot next year.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and brief strong language.
