On the other hand, the human characters are nowhere near as well-written or compelling as the apes. Many are underwritten to the point of banality, underused and some add little to nothing to the story especially the little girl.
Harrelson aside, the acting from the humans isn't so hot either, the little girl is really annoying and very overwrought. The script is also very messy, lacking the intelligent simplicity and nuance of the previous two films, and instead resorting to awkwardness and cheesiness.
The story started off promisingly but went down the plug fast. The pacing became incredibly dull and stayed that way for most of the film, seriously struggling to sustain the overlong running time, and is filled with crass and gratuitous graphic violence, cartoonish villainy that has more cheese than threat, a strong lack of emotional core and tension, nothing to drive the story forward and a general lack of cohesion.
Things feel very rushed, leaden and confused in the final act. Matt Reeves did a great job directing 'Dawn Here one really questions what happened and whether it really is the same guy.
His direction here is overblown and lethargic, things that he very cleverly avoided previously. It also feels heavy-handed in its portrayal of fascism and slavery. One gets what the war of the title is referring to, but with only the characterisation of the apes working the tension and conflict just doesn't work.
All in all, looks amazing but not the sort of film that makes one think or treat its audience with respect and it is severely lacking in heart and soul. You're better off sticking with the originals, because the only thing good about these films is the calibre of the special effects; unsurprisingly they're better than ever this time around, and you don't question any of the simians for a moment.
Sadly, the trade-off comes in the sloppy writing and random focusing on silly sentimentality, with the momentum often grinding to a halt to deliver one excruciating tear-jerking moment after another.
It's silly and embarrassing, sitting ill at ease with the pantomime action found elsewhere in the movie. Caesar Andy Serkis leads his ape society in the forest. They are under constant attack by soldiers commanded by The Colonel Woody Harrelson with Koba's surviving ape supporters serving as donkeys. The Simian flu is infecting humans turning them mute and mentally devolved. Caesar leads a team to follow The Colonel. They are joined by a mute girl and a zoo monkey called Bad Ape. There is amazing CGI work here with the ape characters.
They are near perfect. This is a pretty dark episode in the Apes franchise. I like the darkness but there are some issues with the story.
I don't buy any reason for Caesar to leave behind his tribe. It could only be revenge and I don't like it. I don't buy all the ape prisoners either. Storyline Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel.
