Completing the franchise prequel trilogy...
“War for the Planet of the Apes” is the third film in a franchise that includes “Rise” and “Dawn” in its titles. Together, the films portray events that led to the topsy-turvy world in which apes became the ruling class and humankind devolved into ragtag patches of resistance. Since all the “Apes” films are prequels to the first, “Planet of the Apes” (1968), the screenwriters have had to work backwards, detailing events and characters instrumental in the massive upending of the two species’ relationship to each other.<br /><br />The title this time suggests a large-scale battle that will end with the dominance of the apes, but it is mostly a battle within the apes’ leader, Caesar (Andy Serkis), that drives the film. Much of human society has been wiped out by a virus that made apes smarter, and those humans that remain are determined to annihilate the animals. Caesar and his followers have established a kind of kingdom/refuge deep in the forest. Overwhelmed by the humans’ greater fire power, Caesar must weigh how to handle imminent extinction of the ape society through genocide and overt racism. These are not easy problems to navigate.<br /><br />Caesar’s primary human adversary is the Colonel (Woody Harrelson), who enlists the help of traitorous simians he refers to as “donkeys” to carry  out his obsession with destroying the apes once and for all. The relationship between Caesar and the Colonel is more than that of opposing military strategists. It is far more personal, and Caesar has to subjugate his personal agenda to a plan that will save the apes.<br /><br />Matt Reeves, who directed this and the previous two “Apes” films, channels Joseph Conrad and Shakespeare in terms of characters and themes. The Colonel is Conrad’s Kurtz from “Heart of Darkness,” as both have become obsessed and made mad by war. The movie has an atmosphere of tragedy, as if whatever the eventual result of the conflict, there can be no real winners. Casualties will be heavy in both camps, and the world will never be restored to the way it was. Sympathy lies mostly with the apes, who express themselves through gestures and signs (with the help of subtitles).<br /><br />Mr. Serkis continues to etch a captivating portrait of Caesar through computer-generated motion capture, in which details of Caesar are digitally overlaid onto Serkis’ face and body. Basically, you are watching Serkis act, with special effects serving his performance rather than the other way around. This process is what gives character to Caesar and the other notable Serkis creation — Gollum from the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. We can read his thoughts and expressions as easily as we could those of a traditional actor. He is so proficient in his performance and the effects so excellent that we accept Caesar as authentic.<br /><br />Despite its many pluses, “War for the Planet of the Apes” is too long by at least 15 minutes. Editing is often sluggish and dialogue dragged out, hurting the film’s pacing. Director Reeves includes plenty of action, judiciously placed and not slathered on just to add an extra shootout or explosion. He takes pains to end the trilogy in a way that satisfies the arc of the entire “Apes” franchise.<br /><br />Rated PG-13, “War for the Planet of the Apes” is a thoughtful film that deals with ideas bigger than “What will we blow up next?” Audiences have become bored with special effects dazzle as a substitute for a good script. This installment is intelligently written — a worthy film to conclude the prequel trilogy. But if Hollywood history is any indicator and “War…” scores big at the box office, we will undoubtedly see more “Apes” movies in the future.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the 2-disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack include 10 deleted scenes; “Waging War for the Planet of the Apes,” an in-depth documentary on the making of the film; audio commentary by director Matt Reeves; concept art gallery; and 5 behind-the-scenes featurettes. Other editions include the 2-disc 3D Blu-ray + Blu-ray, the 2-disc 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray, and the single-disc DVD. All editions contain a digital copy.
