Factual error: When Koba steals an Armored Security Vehicle class M1117A Guardian, he kills the gunner from the turret and then somehow manages to use the 240B attached to the turret. First, it takes three men/apes to operate the ASV, and second, the ASV cannot be operated from the turret. In that scene, it is assumed that Koba is operating the entire vehicle, something most humans cannot do or do not know how to do. Let alone a 240B, MK19, or .50 Cal M2 Browning. The ASV turned in the direction of the wall, which was the only way that the Apes were able to breach the city walls. This is also kind of an important plot hole blunder too because if it were not for the breach from the ASV, the Apes would not have won. The other blunder from this is that the gunner would not have been exposed from the hatch, since the ASV was using .50Cal and MK19. No need to use the 240B.

I own this movie on DvD.
This is easily the best of the new trilogy. Each movie is great on it's own, but this is the center piece.
The acting is taken up to an 11 in this with the performances and story being pretty compelling. Andy Serkis pulls out all stops in some of the best work of his career.
This film takes place 10 years after the end of the first, with most of the humans dead from disease on the planet, and now Apes have begun to really form their own blooming societies. Things are bound to go wrong as prejudice from both sides lead to inevitable confrontation.
Again, very difficult to say much more without spoilers.
Mistake Status: Was too engrossed into it to look for any. Will probably go back and break it apart in the future.
Trivia: The photos of Dreyfus' children are of Gary Oldman's children in real life.
Question: Although it's shown in the beginning that due to the leakage and worldwide spread of the experimental drug at the "Gen-Sys" lab the human race was about to end. Yet a few did survive. How exactly then the creator of the drug, James Franco die? Caesar was somehow taken to the very same home James lived and operated there itself, was there any reason to bring Caesar back to his childhood home again?

Chosen answer: The circumstances of Will's death are not revealed in the movie, but presumably he either died from the virus or was killed in the violence that erupted after the breakdown of society. Caesar was taken back to his childhood home because he guided them there, presumably wishing to return to a location that he associated with good times while he recovered from his injuries.
