The film starts off well, with a group of apes establishing the importance of their culture, families and group roles. The interactions between the apes are endearing.
After an hour of this, the film goes into how this world collapses, yand we're introduced to ambitious, destructive forces and their drives (the Cult of Cesar, remnants of human technology, desire for control over other apes, and intelligence as a primer for violence and exploitation).
There's also a preachy tone taken on Cesar, who is mentioned as an almost religious figure who is misused to justify violence, by the very aggressive apes. It's obviously a critique of Christians misusing Christ's words. I guess that happens sometimes, but I don't go see a movie about super intelligent apes to be lectured about these kinds of topics.
Hollywood needs to start giving their screenwriters Prozac.
