Directed by Matt Reeves

It’s a hugely ambitious concept, basing a majority of a film’s dialogue not only in a foreign language, but in that of a completely different species. Yet Matt Reeves pulls it off, with great visual storytelling and brilliant production design, The film looks great and owes probably more to Jurassic Park than the previous Planet of the Apes films. It doesn’t break new ground, but it was a very enjoyable time at the movies. Andy Serkis was amazing as usual.
