Apes @Dawn
Probably the most unexpectedly unique thing about this movie is that it's about apes. The humans are secondary. Unlike a modern superhero movie where you wait almost an hour just to see the forking costume, the story focuses on the tribe of apes. There's power struggles, familial tension, combat that is brutal and emotional. You almost forget you're watching something a team of tech nerds created on iMacs. They captured the eyes of their subject, which is a difficult task for any artist to accomplish. There's pain and anger, probably taken directly from the motion capture actors. Andy Serkis 4eva.
