Normally you don't expect too much from sequels but here I was surprised how good this movie is. maybe not as good the the previous one but its definitely a different movie and thats a good thing. the story makes sense and the events of the movie are the result of bad decisions by individuals. However the story wasn't perfect and had some flaws in how a couple of humans behaved. But they needed to get the story going so i might forgive that. The CGI was great and believable too. one thing that was a little over the top was the state of the city. a little too overgrown by nature in only 10 years. but its just a detail. overall a very good movie!

It was too slow with no humor and few action scenes. None of the human characters returned and the new ones weren't interesting. It worked best in the final half hour. It reminded me too much of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes and there wasn't much action or thought to it. The human characters were much less interesting than in Rise.

I found the apes much too human-like and even having english writing school after 10 years in the wild. An evil one ready to betray. And the rest a bunch of suckers, including the son of ceasar (joke about the real Jules I suppose). Same old war movie, except with apes.

Roddy McDowall is now out of a job being replaced by a sexless CG ape. During the opening credits we quickly discover the ALZ 113 virus has killed off many humans creating a quarantine condition which for some unexplained reason caused rioting and killing off more humans. In spite of the weak plot point, it was more probable then the original dog/cat virus which lead to breeding apes with long gestation periods as pets.The film spends time building ape character with perfect English syntax subtitles. In this plot, our quarantined humans are running short on fuel and seek to restart a hydro-electric dam in ape territory and seem willing to go to war for oil, er ah, energy if need be. Koba, a neo-con ape, doesn't trust the humans and wants to have a first strike. (Koba was a nickname for Stalin.)Some of the initial soundtrack and imagery reminded me of "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" with later scenes of cooperation reminiscent of the final film and TV series. There was nothing bad about the CG apes, except they got their money's worth from them. The ape on ape fighting was far too long, reminding me of that first Iron Man film.Okay, this film is done. I am ready for the film where women wear the Linda Harrison loin cloths.
