Review of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) by Marjorie M — 11 Aug 2017
An excellent addition to an exception prequel series to the classic saga, and an adequately redemptive reboot to help wipe the Wahlberg-edition stain from the Apes franchise.
I'll be glad to pick up a bundled or boxed set of Caesar's story for my collection. Fantastic all-around, and Serkis' portrayal of the titular ape was masterful and emotive in all the right ways. I hope to much more such quality work from him.
Only a few niggling points hold back my fifth star; this film is well worth your time if you've managed to overcome the typical US attention span and can appreciate simply good storytelling.
