War for the Planet of the Apes

War for the Planet of the Apes. Sounds epic, doesn't it?

The movie is not a 10 but there are too many 1 star ratings the movie is realistic a 8-8.5 It ends a great trilogy and the quality of the visual effects are great.

Third in the latest Apes series plays out like a cross between a religious epic - with Caesar leading his flock out of the wilderness to a stirring musical score - and The Great Escape after they fall into the clutches of Woody Harrelson's rogue army officer. Caesar's brooding sense of injustice is tangible, and goes a long way towards making up for the thin plot.

You wouldn't expect pathos and deep personal drama from a movie about humans battling apes. In fact the trailers gave me the impression that this was where the series would go off the rails, replacing story and characters with explosions and effects.

Strangely enough, and a reversal of trends this second sequel to Rise of The Planet of the Apes is the best film ! The first - Rise......

The renewed Apes franchise comes to a conclusive end (while keeping things open for further sequels that are currently in development) with a trilogy capper that intelligently explores the fallout from the previous film for the main character. Matt Reeves follows up one of the best big budget special effects driven films of the last decade with a very good film that understands where the central character needs to go next.

War for Planet of the Apes offers a satisfactory conclusion to this new phase. Mature and at the same time poetic, War for the Planet of the Apes ends with a flourish one of the best current trilogies.

This is a good film. I'm only posting to tell you morons who rated this a 1 that you're either deluded, tasteless or paid moles.

A third, somewhat unnecessary and over-long instalment of monkey business. More a skirmish than a war.
