War for the Planet of the Apes (2017, Matt Reeves)
In what is billed as the finale of a trilogy arc in this rebooted film series we see the conflict between the apes and humans reach new levels. As per usual in this series, it is a well crafted, well acted film that even more so than before and pleasingly so puts the ape characters front and foremost in the story telling. The film has lots of nods to things for the 1968 original that I was hoping would be weaved into the story-line as well as nods to many other films from The Great Escape to Apocalypse Now. The themes are presented pretty thick on the nose with much of it being an allegory to slavery and the horrors of World War 2. Despite all that it has going for it, I still find something missing, similar to how I felt with the last chapter, luckily however the finale of this film was a lot more grounded. It is certainly a better film than Dawn and more artistic in many ways but I still prefer the thrills of the first chapter, Rise of the Planer of the Apes. 6.5/10

A grounded finale is welcome. I thought Dawn would have been a classic had Caesar stayed dead.

I've loved the last two movies and this serving as a good conclusion is enough.
