Review of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) by Cinemaphile — 16 Jul 2017
With all the Alpha and Omega references to 1970's Beneath the Planet of the Apes, I couldn't help but wonder ... where is the Serlingesque twist present in the original movies. While the digital "performances" are all the press junket hype has promised, the script is mundane and plodding.
Serkis and Harrelson chew the scenery, but with flavorless bubble gum lines. The proper title of this film should The Decline of the Francise of the Apes. I am still undecided if this film is Netflix worthy.
