Should you spend 2h 25m on it?
2h 25m of English science fiction, leaning adventure, not one for younger kids. Long enough that it wants your full attention rather than a second screen.

Story
Several generations following Caesar's reign, apes – now the dominant species – live harmoniously while humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all he's known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.
