Review of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) by John M — 14 Mar 2018
War For the Planet of the Apes is a triumph. Matt Reeves gives you a very different type of war movie. The movie understands that big budget action and sfx aren't everything. You do get action spectacle but in small doses.
The film is an emotional and psychological war between Caesar and the Colonel. The film is a technical marvel but what also impressed me was the sheer emotion of it. All those scenes are handled really well.
The performances are all superb and Serkis gives his most impressive performance yet. The music by Michael Giachinno is amazing! This film is a flawless work of art. It is a little long and does take its time some people may find that a problem however I thought the pace was great.
Also bad ape is hilarious. 5 out of 5 from me.
