About the film
The future is worth fighting for.
What it’s about
Ten years after a plague, genetically modified apes led by Caesar have grown in number. Human survivors threaten them, and an initial fragile peace soon breaks. The two groups stand on the brink of war, with the future of the planet at stake.
What hooks you
Matt Reeves directs this sequel, with Andy Serkis as Caesar and Jason Clarke as Malcolm. The film received an Oscar nomination for its visual effects, which include digital animals created by Weta Digital. Gary Oldman appears as Dreyfus, a role he took after being considered for a different part in an earlier 'Planet of the Apes' film. The catalogue notes that it was the first in the series shot and released in 3D.
Who it’s for
It is a good pick for those who enjoy post-apocalyptic science fiction where moral choices drive conflict. It will also appeal to viewers who like action grounded in a struggle for coexistence between species.

Trivia
All facts 10
- When Malcolm is gathering things in his room to go repair the dam, Ellie's left hand appears on Malcolm's shoulder, then disappears between frames.
- Several times, when the characters enter the subway (into the BART tunnel under San Francisco Bay), they jump over classic turnstiles. In reality, the stations of this tunnel have more modern-looking turnstiles.
- In the film, humans and apes mostly shoot M16 rifles, which have a magazine capacity of 30 rounds. But all the characters, without changing magazines, fire far more shots than that.
- Judy Greer's husband is a big fan of the film "Planet of the Apes" (1968). In an interview, Greer said that at their wedding even the bride and groom figurines on top of the wedding cake were made in the shape of chimpanzees, and at the bar, when it was time for cocktails, the original film and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" (2011) were shown on two televisions.
- In addition to the apes, the visual effects company Weta Digital also created other animals: a herd of deer, a grizzly bear, and computer doubles of live horses. The deer were created using keyframe animation and special crowd-simulation software, "MASSIVE"; the bear was also created using keyframe animation. Motion capture technology was also used in creating the horses.
- Gary Oldman was considered for the role of General Thade in the film «Planet of the Apes» (2001). In this film, he played the role of Dreyfus.
