War for The Planet of The Apes

War for The Planet of The Apes -POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD-

Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with a human Special Forces unit led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer from two bloody assaults, Caesar wrestles with his inner-demons and begins his own mission to find revenge. 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.

Planet of the Apes

Ever since I saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes, I was hooked. Rise took a radically different route than it’s horrendous 2001 predecessor. Rise took a more methodical route that lets you know that it’s our planet this take place on, and how. Instead of having apes already existing as apex sapient beings on this planet, this trilogy explores the idea of sapient apes being accidentally created by man and their struggles to survive us, versus a set of astronauts stumbling onto an ape planet. With that being said, I don’t think it’s fair to compare this trilogy with its 1968 ancestor.
