This is the conclusion to the so far great trilogy and War for the Planet of the Apes does not disappoint, although it my be slower and a lot less action than the previous movies it focuses more on the apes than ever and gives each ape a purpose and makes you feel for them in times of need. The special effects and CGI is better than ever you almost feel like these apes are real from the the movement to the texture and the environments that surround them are enhanced and put together masterfully.
The addition of Woody Harrelson's character as the Colonel added a sense of real conflict and he wasn't just ominous villain because we as viewers understand where he is coming from, he is fighting to protect the human race although he does some dark and sinister things he has a reason. Another bright spot was the introduction of Bad Ape who caused some major laughs to come from the audience and the way they balanced a comic relief character in a dark movie has to be praised.
The first act of this movie is undeniably the best its fast moving there's a bit of action there is tension and conflict and it gives Ceaser a reason to set out on his mission. Ceaser is also old and broken and has had enough of the humans and is struggling to cope with is hate for the humans, it is the perfect arc for his character at this time we have see him grow from a smart intelligent chimp to a life size ape leader and figure so to see Ceaser struggle makes for some true entertainment.
Although this movie has many great things it still does have some negatives unfortunately those being that the pacing in the second act drags a little and it lost some steam and some things that happened in the movie felt convenient, also the movie was very long and there were scenes that I felt could be cut out. It still is a fitting end to a great trilogy and will be remembered for years to come.
