Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a 2014 American science fiction film on 4K Blu-ray directed by Matt Reeves.

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 Earth's dominant species.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Movie Reviews

“One of the most intelligent and entertaining big-studio releases of the summer so far.” Slate

“A most engaging sequel in one of the most thrilling reboots in cinema history.” Cinema Sight

“…both a stellar sequel and an above-average blockbuster.” Reel Film Reviews

“The film forges ahead, in vivid 3-D, with such energy, expertise and thunderous conviction that you readily accept its basic premise — the pell-mell emergence of great intelligence, plus moral awareness, in primitive bodies — and find yourself exactly where the filmmakers want you to be, swinging giddily between sympathy for the apes and the humans in what threatens to become all-out war.” Wall Street Journal

“Director Matt Reeves, working from a script by Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver and Mark Bomback, elevates the apes to primary importance in this intelligent thriller.” Charlotte Observer

“Good news – it’s incredible. It sets the standard for blockbuster action movies, and manages to be even better than its predecessor.” The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

“Dawn is dynamite entertainment, especially in the rousing first hour.” Rolling Stones
