It is a great story of the application of thinking powers to get freedom

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2015)

I first watched it the last year and have ever since gone through this one about seven to eight times. It is my second most favourite Hollywood film ever after 'Titanic' (1997) and I keep recommending it to every person that I befriend or get to know.
The greatness of the film lies not only in its smart plot and concept, but also in the perfect combination on display of emotions and inspiration. It depicts the bond between a human and an ape/animal in a way that it feels like a story of a father and a son. The suffering of Caesar and others is so well shown that when the apes' turn comes you unintendedly find yourself rooting for them. The plans of Caesar and the way he applies them and the way he uses his thinking powers is such an amazing thing in the film, especially the way he successfully crosses the bridge with his 'troops'. His plan of sending a half of his followers to under the bridge and the other half to above it is simply mind-blowing planning!
I in fact find myself asking whether I have ever seen a better hero than Caesar in all my life from the films that I have ever watched.
