War for the Planet of the Apes review

War is the culmination of Caesar's uprising of intelligent apes.

Best of the trilogy. I don't care what it is, but give Andy Serkis some awards. Please! He has done so much for performance capture technology that he needs mainstream recognition for. And give some to the special effects guys too! There were moments when I had to remind myself I wasn't watching real intelligent apes. There is real emotion on their faces, and that is thanks to the actors. There is real fur on their skin, and that is thanks to the special effects guys.

OK, some actual review stuff. Not a conventional war movie, but still dark and gritty. Seriously, Serkis is the best. Bad Ape was welcome levity in the darkness. This will be controversial (if anyone is actually reading this), but War made me believe that Logan could mostly work with a 12a rating.

In short: A perfect conclusion to a perfect trilogy.
