War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)





Directed by:  Matt Reeves

Written by: Mark Bomback & Matt Reeves

Starring: Andy Serkis & Woody Harrelson





Um, where is Andy Serkis' Academy Award?

Cesar (Serkis) just wants peace between the apes and humans.  But after Koba started a war in the last film, Cesar feels that it is his job to find a place where him and the other apes can be safe.  But when his family is threatened, Cesar decides to finish the war and avenge the apes for their struggle.

This was the best Planet of the Apes movie yet (in terms of the recent films.  I never saw the 60's versions.).

Once again Serkis performs fantastically as Cesar with his human like qualities and strong persona that carries through into the audience.  In addition, Harrelson does the same.  Finally both of these actors are being realized for their greatness!

The storyline this time is complete and you feel satisfied with the ending.  It does make me wonder though if they will continue the series and do a remake of Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes" film in the early 2000s starring Mark Wahlberg.  I hope they do, especially with Matt Reeves as the director.

There is much else to say about the film.  Storyline is great.  CGI is great.  Film tech stuff is great.  The characters and acting is great.  It is a great film.  5 popcorns.
