This sequel picks up a few years after the simian virus has devastated most of the human population. A group of genetically evolved apes leads a peaceful existence until a band of human survivors appears. This film spends more time in the ape world than it does with humans, which, considering the technology, makes it a mostly-animated film. Although there are a few moments of action, it’s primarily a political drama. All that being said, they’ve managed to craft a compelling story and create a pretty convincing world. The storytelling can get a bit heavy handed and predictable, but it’s still an effective adventure.
