Review of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) by Wazid I — 24 Aug 2017
A firm 3/5 stars for me. The pace is slower in this third outing and in order to enjoy this you have to buy into the fact that CGI Apes can deliver emotional performances as good as their human counterparts. At a specific point I lost sight of this and found it difficult to keep believing that Apes were strong together ??
I also expected to see an all out war and to see the guile of the apes pitted against the evil technology and machines of man. I got some of this in places but felt I was watching an emotional journey of an CGI Ape going all out to get revenge.
So given that I didn't get an all out WAR movie it slips to 3 stars...call it Revenge of the Planet of the Apes and now you're talking a easy 4!
