'War for the Planet of the Apes' Trailer

Planet of the Apes is a franchise that has always had a surprising level of maturity and complexity to it, and that has been exceptionally displayed with the recent reboot films. Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a great introduction to Caesar, the first ape to gain intelligence and rebel against humanity. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes opened the world up and showed us the beginnings of ape civilization and the downfall of humanity. Now, War for the Planet of the Apes concludes one part of the saga as Caesar must battle against a zealous Colonel and find a new home for his family. War for the Planet of the Apes is jaw-dropping. Its the first in the new series to be completely from the apes perspective and its about time. The only human characters - minus the mute child Nova who is basically one of the apes - are villains that offer the biggest and most personal threat to Caesar and his friends weve seen yet. It should be noted that War for the Planet of the Apes is dark. Not in a take me seriously way like other genre blockbusters, but in an emotional and textual way. This is a movie that gets to a core belief that stems all the way back to the original film: mankind is doomed and its their own damn fault. Its shocking to see a tentpole film deal with such a nihilistic concept, but its explored in such a fascinating way that it never feels maudlin or manipulative. So much of that is due to how compelling Caesar and the apes are. Their story is the one of hope and triumph. Director Matt Reeves and co-writer Mark Bomback blatantly draw from the biblical story of Moses and apply this classic character arc to Caesar in extraordinarily moving sequences. Andy Serkis has never been better in these films, and his performance (along with the other motion capture actors) nevers gets lost in the unbelievably real effects that bring the apes to life. And you will fall in love with Steve Zahns Bad Ape, the funniest and most touching character the series has ever produced. This is also a phenomenal blockbuster. The action is tense and exhilarating, but never showy or shallow. Every big moment is weighted by character motivations and personal conflict. Nothing feels beholden to some unseen plot thats moving things along simply to move things along. Its a true testament to the value of characters over story. War for the Planet of the Apes gets a 5 out of 5. Forget Star Wars and superheroes, this is the platinum standard for blockbuster filmmaking. Its the best entry in the rebooted series and might be the best film in the entire saga. Its a genuinely risky and powerfully adult tale told with the biggest canvas possible. If this is where this new series ends, its an incredible sendoff as well as the best summer tentpole film of 2017.
