Review of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) by Arthur R — 12 Oct 2017

Another stirring effort here. Steeped in modern-day sociological themes, you can view this film in so many different ways. As a straight-forward war film its brilliant, as an exploration of Caesar growing to be the leader of a group searching for freedom its deeply layered and thought-provoking, as a warning for humanity that failing to eradicate its foes will ultimately lead to its downfall, its a chilling look into the future.

And even more importantly, the film doesnt pretend to have answers to these theological quandaries.
