War for the Planet of the Apes Film Review: Best in the Trilogy
War action fantasy drama with some bleak and brutal scenes, the level of violence makes me wonder how this was awarded a 12A rating! Astonishing!
Humans are being infected by a virus that affects speech, those that aren't sick are at war with those that are. Caesar is at the centre of all this, he is a 'Moses' figure, his motivation is to free captured 'slave' apes from the human camp and lead them all to safety, there are many other religious references and holocaust related images. And you can't help drawing comparison with some scenes lifted from Apocalypse Now.
I can appreciate a film with s revenge theme, so was engaged almost immediately.
'Bad Ape' is a new comedy relief character and scene stealer.
'Nova' is a new young speechless human girl character, she has an important role, it takes time to understand her significance.
This is a worthy conclusion to the trilogy, I wager where won't be a fourth film featuring Caesar.
8/10.
