A Welcome Addition to the "Apes" Universe

Quite a different film for those expecting a retread of Tim Burton's campy and unnecessary remake of the 1968 sci-fi classic. Though this film unfortunately sidesteps any truly interesting examinations of the ethics of its scientific research, it does shine when portraying a full-scale war between humans and apes in the final third of the film. Andy Serkis should be recognized, also, for his nuanced performance that manages to breathe life into a digital creation. Surprisingly, pretty good.
