The war continues in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. The latest entry in the long-running franchise pushes humans and apes to the edge.

The sequel shows a drastic change in Caesar. It looks like he’s lost almost all his compassion. After being betrayed by his human father-figure and abused by others, he’s lost faith in humanity. We’re not surprised he’s been pushed to this point.
