This is an exceptional re-boot of a franchise. By reversing the premise and our empathies, we suddenly have a new (and arguably more compelling) take on the origin story. Coupled with ground-breaking CGI and excellent ape performances from the motion capture actors (most of whom are mute for the entire running time) it ramps up from a family drama to an epic showdown between man and beast. A modern classic in the sci-fi genre.
