Welcome to my first-time watching as we react to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014). Dawn of the Planet of the Apes exceeded my expectations for what was ahead after watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Everything from the breathtaking visuals, compelling storytelling, and the evolution of Caesar and his fellow apes was done better than I could've hoped for!

Directed by Matt Reeves, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" continues the saga of Caesar as he navigates the tensions between humans and apes in a post-apocalyptic world. I absolutely loved how they delved into the themes and questions the first movie posed and were able to elaborate and develop these themes into a narrative that keeps the audience at the edge of their seats.

The film does a tremendous job at navigating the themes of survival, loyalty, and conflict. All of this would not work if it wasn't for the incredible performance by Andy Serkis as Caesar and Toby Kebbell's Koba. The two of them do an excellent job at delivering so much emotion and breathing life into these characters. Combine that with the stunning cinematography, and poignant storytelling and you have yourself a solid film that has so much to offer and has solidified this trilogy as one of my favorites in recent years.

We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussions as we delve into the film's themes, how it goes beyond your standard blockbuster and how the depth in it's storytelling is what ultimately makes this film be a standout!
