Movie 2014.07.27 - Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Intro of the movie fills us in about a simian virus outbreak that decimated the global human population. Meanwhile, Caesar and his simian colony are settled comfortably in the forest. In a chance encounter, one of the humans shoots and injures one of the apes. Caesar leads his troops to the human town in San Francisco and warns them to stay out of their sanctuary. What Caesar doesn't know is that the humans need access to the forest in order to access the hydroelectric dam. Malcolm goes back to Caesar with his request. There is a tentative peace between the two camps, while the humans (and apes) cooperate to bring the dam back in operation.

All it takes is for one bad egg to bring everything crashing down. And that is what happened. Back in SF, Dreyfus, the leader of the humans, is stockpiling arms and ammunitions, preparing to duke it out with the apes. Koba, Caesar's right-hand ape, kills a couple of humans and steals their rifles. While everyone is celebrating the successful activation of the dam, Koba shoots Caesar with the rifle, and blames it on the humans. Koba leads an assault on the human colony and takes everyone prisoner. Malcolm and his wife rescues and revives Caesar, who later subdues Koba.

In the end, it's all for naught, as military reinforcements are on their way to the city, and an all-out war is all but guaranteed.
