Review of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) by Fernando C — 11 Aug 2017

Great movie with some of the best visual effects ever seen on screen, if the apes looked phenomenal in the 1st and 2nd film, in this one they look more real than ever, you almost can feel like if they were real apes. each mark in their face, each look, each movement, damn it, give the visual effects department an oscar right now. also it helps a lot the actors that are behing the animated-apes, even the one with the smallest role, they are all great, but serkins, ohh dear Serkins, he is the movie, he is the one who gets your attention from the moment he first appears to the last frame of the movie, his motion-capture performances was great in the first, 2 movies, but in this one he delivers his best performance of the 3. you can really feel what he is feeling, you see it in every single gesture he does, the way he looks, the way he talks, he really deserves a lot of recognition for this, he´s made a character for the ages...give him an oscar right now as well.

The score is veru powerful too, I loved how every single scene in the movie was along with a great score.

Now the movie: I think this one is not as good as the 2nd one (which I loved with all my heart) but I think it´s still a very solid conclusion to an exeptional trilogy.

My major problem is with the script, specially with some script choices, but overall still very worth watching and enjoyable movie.

This one is not your usually blockbuster full of explotions and fights (of course it has some of it tho). but a more smart movie, a one that makes you wonder a lot of things and demands the viewer patience, don´t expect a fight or a battle every 5 minutes, this one is not about that, it is much more than that, and if you can hold with that for a little more than 2 hours, it ´s going to be a great experience.
