Review of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) by Tony1984 — 17 Jul 2017
The special effects, costume and makeup department deserved Oscars. Woody Harrelson channels Robert Duvall Apocalypse Now performance brilliantly. Andy Serkis is wonderful as Caesar. The apes are visually amazing and very sympathetically played.
The rest is variable. You are left in no doubt who you should be cheering for. The apes,not the humans. It’s a bit over simplistic with the good bad guy narrative. The story has large plot holes and some weak writing.
Some contemporary political sub text as usual which was unnecessary. A bit over long in the middle, weak editing. Still good though despite the couple of flaws.
