Storyline

- TriviaThere are two clues to the fate of Will Rodman (James Franco) after the events of Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011). When Caesar returns to his house, a sign can be seen with an "X" on the stoop by the door. Usually this means someone living there is infected, so it can be assumed he was one of the first to die in the plague. Also, Will's 1980s-era Jeep Wagoneer is still parked in front of the house, covered in vines and vegetation, but it can clearly be seen when Caesar and friends first arrive to the house. Of course, if Will had left his house, he most likely would have driven his vehicle.
- GoofsWhen the hydro electricity supply is turned on, the humans say they can now contact other humans on the radios, yet they already had electricity supplied by diesel-powered generators.
- Crazy creditsAfter the credits there is an audio cue of Apes digging through, and removing rubble and concrete. Then Koba's distinctive breathing is heard, hinting at Koba surviving the fall after his struggle with Caesar.

Featured review
You'll believe an ape can talk.
Human civilization collapses after the spread of the Simian Flu and worldwide fighting. The Apes that escaped from the Gen-Sys have formed a thriving colony of super smart apes under the leadership of Caesar in northern California. A group of humans led by Malcolm (Jason Clarke) encounter them which turns deadly. Carver kills one of the apes. There is a large human community gathered in the remains of San Francisco led by Dreyfus (Gary Oldman). They need to restart the generating station but it's located near the ape home. Malcolm has girlfriend Ellie (Keri Russell) and son Alexander (Kodi Smit-McPhee). He goes to negotiate with the apes while Dreyfus prepares for war. Meanwhile Ceasar is challenged by Koba.
The realism achieved with the ape characters is terrific. They are almost human and distinguishable from each other. The story is compelling. The most interesting thing is that this is more of an ape movie. The apes have some of the most interesting roles. Clarke leads the human contingent competently. Oldman adds a little gravitas. This is a great sequel to the surprisingly good 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'.
