Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 3D
Set ten years on from the excellent Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), Caesar (Andy Serkis) attempts to maintain control within a growing clan of intelligent apes. Caesar's group is also under threat from a group of humans living in a San Francisco - survivors of the Simian virus.
A fragile peace is short-lived as both sides are brought to the brink of war, driven by violent elements within the ranks of each species. Helmed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Let Me In), starring Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman and Keri Russell.
