War for the Planet of The Apes
A more intimate film than Dawn and not as propulsive as it as well, however it does begin with the same level of intensity Dawn left off on. Our main leads are just as strong as before, Woody is great but a bit underused, and Serkis as usual give 100 percent, and Steve Zahn's Bad Ape was a great addition, moving from a borderline heartbreaking introduction to a fun endearing character. Visually it is stunning, whether it be in the snow, by the beach, of beside a fire, the color and shot composition are nearly flawless.....and the Apes....oh my god.
however I think the only issues it runs into are not having enough time to get familiar with the supporting cast/apes (aside from Maurice) throughout the series, and it moves laterally a tad too long which somewhat causes the final act to drag a bit.
That being said it's a good film, and keeps in line with previous installments, which has always felt to be, heart and soul before spectacle.
7.8
