Review: ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’
For decades, sci-fi franchises like Star Wars and Star Trek have remained in the collective pop culture consciousness.

Over the years, that enthusiasm for the primate-centric world had certainly faded, but if any film can help the series reclaim its rightful place among its genre peers, it’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
