Factual error: In the scene where Gary Oldman looks at his iPad after the power has been restored, the power shows as being 74% full, meaning it's charged far too fast. Plus the charger is plugged into the iPad, so the battery should have a charging symbol, which it does not. (01:14:55)

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: Why is there a derelict battleship beneath the bridge? It is easily identifiable as one because of its 2 front main cannons. No battleships are in service any more with any navy in the world.

Answer: There are many mothballed and museum warships in harbors all over the US and a few still have operable engines. People would try to flee major cities infected with the plague by any means. Or even if the engines were out maybe a tugboat was pulling a derelict full of refugees and the Navy destroyed it to maintain quarantine or it was cut loose and sank.
