This reboot of the Planet of the Apes movie series has a weird trend of getting better with each sequel, this is the best of the three that have been released. Rise of the Planet of the Apes was ok but felt like it was trying too hard and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes felt like they were finding the right thread but weren’t able to follow it all the way through correctly. They’re taking a slightly longer cycle to put out each sequel, three years instead of the normal two, and I think that’s helping with the story polish that’s so evident.
War For The Planet Of The Apes isn’t the movie that you see in the trailers, there’s much more plot going on here than I thought they were going to get into with plenty of moral grey areas that everyone goes right up to and ponders the possible fallout of crossing lines that shouldn’t be crossed.
