Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

This is an excellent movie as it depicts some of the most powerful human emotions through the Apes. Its achievement is in showing the apes as more than human on the one hand and as fallible in another.
The first original movie was excellent, the one from the 60s, with input from Rod Serling. This movie, I believe, surpasses all of the previous films. Check it out!

"I have been fortunate to have met many nice cartoonists and comic artist, such Sergio Aragones, but one who rarely made it out to SD was Dick Ayers. He was an incredibly nice fellow when I met him in SD less than 10 years ago. He will be missed."
