The best films on release in cinemas now

All the best films on release in cinemas this week plus The Telegraph's reviews of the movies to look out for 

     

Director: Matt Reeves
Starring: Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Toby Kebbell
Certificate: 12A
Running time: 130 minutes

In a nutshell: The only factor preventing the global takeover of the apes in Matt Reeves's sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes is the stubborn ability of humankind to resist extinction by any means necessary, which – pointedly here – means taking up arms. This impressively un-stupid film never allows extraordinary special effects to outgun emotion and intelligence.
