For the next installment, it might be wisest to forgo our own species altogether and make it all-ape. It is, after all, the logical next step in this particular cinematic evolution.

For all its high-end special effects and its Shakespearean ambitions, Dawn fumbles its emotional moments and forces its action.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

One of the most intelligent and entertaining big-studio releases of the summer so far.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes gets to be exciting and to say something about the world instead of merely blowing it up. The apes are among the more intellectually complex characters you're likely to spend time with this summer.
Wesley Morris, Grantland
