War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)

War for the Planet of Apes, the third film in the 2010's Planet of the Apes reboot franchise, brings to a close (mild spoiler) what could be referred to as The Caesar Trilogy. This movie contains some cleaver re-appropriation of iconography from the original 1968 Planet of the Apes movie, but not that image your probably thinking of. It's a satisfying movie that, again mild spoiler, gives an explanation for why humans lose the ability to speak, something the original franchise never properly explained. Beyond these musings I have little else to add because while War for the Planet of the Apes is a rather good movie, most of what it has to say is 'on the page' so to speak and requires little unpacking. If you liked the other two films in the series I recommend that you see this one, I'd say its the best of the lot. Oh and Woody Harrelson's in this. ***1/2
