Review of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) by Nathanael R — 28 Aug 2017

This is a drama, not an action film. It would be a painfully dry film if you expect the latter. Each ape character is strangely human and personable, and while it's easy to expect spectacle and nothing more (the CGI is brilliant as usual), the film's technical wizadry excels by perfectly animating facial expressions and capturing the nuances of each ape.
