"War for the Planet of the Apes is an astonishing work of blockbuster entertainment. It concludes one of the rarest of trilogies, one in which each subsequent film is superior to the last and actually improves the quality of the previous film. Unable to prevent war with the humans, Caesar must embrace his skills as a tactician to ensure the survival of his people. The war has been long and filled with tragedy. Caesar must either learn from the sins of Koba, or he must embrace the spirit of vengeance against those that have done his people harm. In Caesar, Andy Serkis has his most iconic character. He has been given three films to develop him from infancy to adulthood, and its an accomplishment made possible only through motion capture artistry. The Serkis Trilogy (no other can claim such a hold) will go down as a significant moment in the history of filmmaking, and thankfully its one struck with remarkable story, character, heart, as well as a technical feat" ~Scarlet

"In the final movie of the prequel trilogy, the apes are hunted by the few human survivors of the plague, which by some odd twist of fate are mostly trained military personnel.
Anyway Caesar and his close friends go on a journey for reasons that honestly seem rather dumb, and all the other apes randomly get captured. The film then turns into monkey prison break, where our simian friends have to escape from a facility where the security is so inept that apes can crawl all around the outside of the base without being spotted, and a mentally disabled 8-year-old girl can walk right through the front gates unchallenged. Oh, and the virus that made the apes smart now makes humans dumb instead of killing them because that totally makes sense.
Compared to the previous movie, War has a stronger plot, a better villain, and a real conclusion. But hell if this is still not a shameless cash grab that doesnt really add a whole lot to the series." ~Karo

"So basically its Battle For the Planet of the Apes with Woody Harrelson, little girl Nova, and the rebellious general plot device taken care of in the previous movie. Now dont get me wrong, I enjoyed this a lot. But this is also a big problem with reboots and remakes. Its a fine line between not doing enough to differentiate yourself from the original and doing too much to distance your self from the original. War tries to walk that tightrope and falls into the copy side. Its a very good and pretty copy, mind you. The relationships between the apes are still deep and emotional. The fighting is still fun to watch. And Woody Harrelson is always a good addition. The only strike I can think of against this movie is I simply enjoyed Battle more.

Traviss Opinion: He was VERY interested in the fact that there were a bunch of talking apes on the screen. He kept asking if they were really monkeys. Like a lot." ~Stifled

"I place the good of the Vault above everything, even my own paternal feelings. We must not allow sentiment to cloud our judgment! Think a moment. If you really care about your fellow citizens, killing me is the worst thing you could do. A regrettable incident. But will killing me bring back your friend?" ~The Overseer

"An ok movie if you like waiting for the few good things to happen. Tallahassee has some great dialogue with Caesar and the action towards the end is actually good but other than that it's a whole bunch of nothing." ~JONA
