Koba has a legitimate grievance and concern for what the humans will do if they're able to generate a reliable source of electric power and then reestablish communication with other colonies or even the military (assuming the military even still exists). It's not just that he was tortured and experimented upon by humans while Caesar had a positive upbringing. He doesn't exist just to be a foil and an antagonist.

Thankfully, the movie doesn't draw Koba as one-dimensional villain. It's organic to the relationship among the characters, and the emotional authenticity grounds the overarching theme of whether the future of the apes will be decided by wisdom (Caesar) or fear (Koba).

The guidance provided by these two father figures isn't subtle, but it also isn't overbearing. This sentiment is cleverly encapsulated in the relationship between Caesar, Koba, and Blue Eyes. Most of the Apes films have dealt with the interspecies conflict between humans and apes, and while that's still present in Dawn, this is the first movie in the franchise to seriously explore conflict within the ape community and how the burgeoning civilization will establish its direction. Caesar must then decide if he can protect his apes through isolationism, a tenuous truce, or agreeing with his chief lieutenant Koba ( Toby Kebbell), who wants to launch a pre-emptive strike against the humans. However, Caesar's life is disrupted when Malcolm ( Jason Clarke) and his small band of humans accidentally stumble into the apes' territory while trying to repair a dam that will supply power to their colony. Caesar leads his community with wisdom and has also become a family ape with his wife Cornelia ( Judy Greer), newborn child, and son Blue Eyes ( Nick Thurston).

They've become smarter, self-sufficient, built an impressive dwelling, and have a tight-knit community built on laws such as 'Ape Shall Not Kill Ape' and 'Apes Together Strong'. Meanwhile, Caesar ( Andy Serkis) and his apes have flourished and thrived in the Muir Woods. Mankind has been ravaged by the Simian Flu followed by war, and only modest groups of human colonies remain. The movie manages to take almost all the best aspects of its predecessors to create a summer blockbuster that is heartfelt, exhilarating, tragic, and profound.

History will always have charismatic leaders and people who are motivated by fear, so how to these people guide the evolution or dissolution of a society? Matt Reeves' Dawn of the Planet of the Apes perfectly captures this question by creating a microcosm of two civilizations reaching an inevitable clash and how their futures are both conflicting and intertwined. While there are always the broad strokes of good (Caesar, Cornelius, Zira) and bad (Hasslein, Breck, Aldo), there's always a concern of how these figures are followed or abandoned.

Now having watched all of the Planet of the Apes movies, it's fascinating how the series views not only history, but trying to understand why civilizations rise and fall.
