Not as great as Dawn, but still good to go to war!
15 July 2017
Waaaar! What is it good for!! Absolutely, numerous things! The war I am referring to is the final chapter of the prequel series of the "Planet of the Apes" franchise entitled "War for the Planet of the Apes". In this chapter, Ape Leader Caesar is on a vengeance quest against a domineering Colonel who uses the Apes for slavery, but there is more on why Caesar wants the Colonel fried as Colonel Sanders. Writer- Director Mark Reeves does orchestrate "War for the Planet of the Apes" quite admirably, even though I did go a tad "ape crazy" with a few scenes that could have been shortened. The film's cinematography, production design, and score were fabulous; and so was the performance capture extraordinaire work from Andy Serkis as Ceasar. The Serkis show of phenomenal performance capture efforts continues for Andy. Even though Woody Harrelson was just being Woody as the Colonel, he still delivered Wood strong once more. "War for the Planet of the Apes" was not in the same excel status as "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes:, but it is still a cinematic planet you should still travel to. **** Good
