[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation="fadeIn"]This reboot of the 1960s-1970s classic sci-fi/action/adventure series has proven to be a remarkable achievement from the moment it caught moviegoers by surprise with Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes back in 2011, to the intense Dawn in 2014.

Not just in terms of the visuals, as motion-capture and CGI techniques conjured up some amazingly realistic ape action and emoting, but also in the way it has captured the heart and soul of both its ape and human characters to levels of profoundness that action-adventure yarns usually have no business plumbing.
