Welcome back to another At the Movies with Daily Lukey post! We will continue our look through some of the highly anticipated films of 2014. Some of them may not seem as exciting as you might think but there is always something about them that makes the highly anticipated or else I would not add them in.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

This film is set fifteen years after the events of Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011). This cult classic revamp continues the story of how ultra-intelligent simian Caesar presides over the fall of human civilisation. 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. The 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.

22 Jump Street

This sequel to the surprisingly successful comedy 21 Jump Street sees Officers Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) team up to go undercover at a local college. However, when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. *Fingers Crossed* the sequel does not ruin the original.

Divergent

Divergent is definitely a movie to look out for in 2014. It is based on the popular books by Veronica Roth and all fans are hoping that the movie performs well enough to turn the book sequels into movies. Divergent is an adventure set in a future world where people are divided into distinct factions based on their personalities. Tris Prior (played by Shailene Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy to destroy all Divergents, she must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it is too late.
