0710-GO-APES-1
Jason Clarke, as Malcolm, foreground, and, background from left, Andy Serkis, as Caesar; Toby Kebbell, as Koba; and Karin Konoval, as Maurice; star in the “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.” The film is the third installment of the franchise using computer-generated scenery and apes.
“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” swings into theaters this week, continuing one of the most surprisingly enduring franchises in movie history. What began in 1968 as quirky science-fiction has now become, dare I say it, important. Director Matt Reeves (“Let Me In,” “Cloverfield”) and his crew honor the legacy of their ancestors while building their own mythology and expanding the world of the series.
