Review of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) by Anthony K — 12 Jul 2017

The poster and title are pretty egregiously misleading, but when what's hiding inside instead is a beautiful character action-drama. It went in a really interesting direction with its characters as opposed to simply carrying on the war hinted at the end of Dawn for an action packed "payoff".

I couldn't find myself getting as engaged in this film as I did the other two - probably because Woody Harrelson really is mustache-twirlingly evil and therefore something of a non-character, but its still fantastic and a great wrap up to what somehow became one of the best ever cinematic trilogies.
