Caesar decides to move to a place across the desert with the other apes to end the war with humans and live in peace. However they are attacked in a cave hidden by a waterfall and Caesar loses his wife Cornelia and his son Blue Eyes and only Cornelius survives. Caesar decides to revenge on their death and separates from the other apes to hunt down The Colonel, who was the responsible for killing his family. However Maurice, Luca en Rocket follow him while the other apes head to the safe place. Along the journey of Caesar and his friends, they stumble upon the mute girl Nova and the chimpanzee Bad Ape that go with them. They arrive at the border and find a facility where his clan has been captured by The Colonel and forced to build a wall without water or food. But Caesar is captured by The Colonel and learns that he has slaughtered infected humans. Now the army is coming to kill him and he is protecting his men and himself with a wall. What will Caesar do? Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet. With this third installment, this makes for the best remake of an entire franchise that I ever scene. I've seen movies that are remakes that are better than the original, but it's amazing how this set of ape movies are right up there with the original(Although in Fairness, this set of movies is actually a prequel to the originals) <br/><br/>The musical score that pays homage to the old school 1970s Planet of the Apes is proof that they were trying and succeeded in passing the originals (By giving you a powerful essence of the original, possibly setting up the idea that these movies are catching up with the first set). <br/><br/>It was a great Sci-Fi Fantasy adventure. A little different from the past two as War for the planet of the Apes focus on the apes more and their adventure form their point of view. The events from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes resulted in the last of the US Military service headed up by Woody Harrison, doing a great Marlon Brando from Apocalypse Now impersonation, attempting to kill the apes who threaten men's place in evolution.<br/><br/>The biggest advantage of the new Apes movie versus the old is technology. Technology that allows the apes to be more realistic with Stop motion capturing and Andy Serkis was holding it down, proving what an amazing actor he can be behind the CGI. I can't remember any other movie in which the CGI characters were able to make me feel for them like they did in this one. Each ape perfectly has a personality of their own. <br/><br/>2017 is turning out to be a decent year for large budget films and War for the Planet of the Apes is on the list as one of those.<br/><br/>http://cinemagardens.com The focus of the film is entirely from the perspective of the Apes. Humanity is devolving into mindless, mute, psychopaths. Only two human characters receive any character development, Woody and Nova. <br/><br/>Nova realizes humans are garbage and tries to become an ape. A nice reference to the original, amazing Planet of the Apes with Nova's name. <br/><br/>The naming should have been more creative than having an ape name her from the discarded vehicle badge from a Chevy. <br/><br/>I left once the avalanche destroyed the human Army. Like Woody, I kept hoping humanity would survive the war of the apes. This movie turned the United States, US military, mankind, logical movie plots, and the original masterpiece into a travesty. <br/><br/>The CG was at least good. War of the Planet of the Apes has all the bombast and sense of finality seemingly required for the end of a trilogy, but there’s an underlying emptiness that nags with each scene.
