With Dawn of the Planet of the Apes getting great reviews, anticipation is reaching fever pitch… but to keep everyone calm in the meantime, here are some very cool video prequels that chronicle the simian flu and the destruction of mankind…
“A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.”
