Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes has released a new featurette online, showing off the film’s remarkable visual effects in all their glory.

The technological whizzes at WETA have been helping out in that regard, with director Matt Reeves describing the studio as having taken “a quantum leap forward”.

As a result, we have the most realistic-looking simians the franchise has ever seen. You will believe that an ape can operate a shotgun!

Take a look at the new video, below…

Needless to say, the finished product looks utterly jaw-dropping. We genuinely can’t wait to see this one on the big screen…

Directed by Reeves and co-starring Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman and Jason Clarke, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes will open in the UK on 17 July 2014.
