War for the Planet of the Apes
(July 14, 2017)

(Rise (2011) --> 1st    Dawn(2014) --> 2nd    War (2017) --> 3rd)


I really enjoyed this movie.  The printed prologue at the beginning of this film detailed RISE  and DAWN. This prologue gave viewers a review course without endless exposition clogging and slowing the  film. I do consider this film a war movie.  Wars aren't fought like WW2 anymore.  They are rougher, more scattered, and pardon the awful pun, often fought in a gorilla-style format.  The conclusion was sad, but felt honest.  I hope that if more  movies are made in this universe they do
not  de-evolve (pun#2) into a bat-s**t crazy Heston remake. While I had limited knowledge of RISE and DAWN, a quick wiki read would be enough to follow and  be  entertained by this film.
