Description

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.

Mistrust between intelligent apes and post-apocalyptic humans leads to conflict.

It's got intelligent writing, believable characters, amazing visuals, and everything about the world seems real. It takes itself very seriously - as seriously as if it were a film about a real war. There's never even the slightest break from darkness. There are some really cool Apes Kicking Ass shots, but in context they're too tragic to be fun. And there's zero suspense - everything is too inevitable for that. It's an impressive movie, though, and I look forward to when they finally get around to remaking the original.

Tras la aparición del devastador "virus de los simios" desarrollado en un laboratorio y que casi acabó con los humanos, un grupo de simios muy evolucionados, capitaneados por César, se han convertido en la raza dominante del planeta. La única amenaza para su desarrollo la representa un grupo de seres humanos que han sobrevivido al virus, al que ahora son inmunes. Los hombres necesitan la energía de una presa cerca del asentamiento de lo simios, así que César, siempre razonable y buscando el bien de los suyos, firma una tregua de paz que evite estallar una guerra que determinará cuál será la raza dominante...
