A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth¹s dominant species.   Directed by Matt Reeves, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes stars Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Toby Kebbell, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Enrique Murciano, Kirk Acevedo and Judy Greer.

20th Century Fox Rise of the Planet of the Apes was so impressive it washed the taste of Tim Burton’s failed Apes remake out of our mouths for good.

Matt Reeves has made a huge jump forward as a filmmaker with the daring and dazzling 'Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes,' and it also marks a breakthrough in realism for the ape cast, with Andy Serkis and Toby Kebbell doing stand-out work.http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/motion-captured

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes has released a new featurette online, showing off the film's remarkable visual effects in all their glory. The technological whizzes at WETA have been helping out in that regard, with director Matt Reeves describing the studio as having taken "a quantum leap forward". As a result, we have the most realistic-looking simians the franchise has ever seen. You will believe that an ape can operate a shotgun! Take a look at the new video, below... Needless to say, the finished product looks utterly jaw-dropping.

Two new extended international TV spots for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes take a different approach to the story than the final domestic trailer released last week. Tons of new footage reveals how Caesar came to rule his ape army, building a community for his fellow chimpanzees, orangutans and gorillas. Watch as a species evolves into something new, becoming the dominant living force on planet earth.
