The level of artistry here is so rare, it's difficult to believe
20 July 2017
This movie is enthralling and a marvel of collaboration. After the first two installments of this franchise, the near perfect expressions and movement of the apes is no surprise, but this is now only a part of the illusion. The story, cinematography and music also do their impressive part to seduce the audience into a moment by moment identification with the apes that is at times sublime.

My only caveat might be that most of this movie will go over the head of anyone too immature or hardheaded to grasp its beauty. It's emotional and somewhat more subtle than the other movies in the trilogy, but in a lot of ways, far more satisfying. It's truly a worthy capstone.

I understand the creative group responsible is not going to be involved with the franchise from here on. Let's just say I'd hate to try to improve on this performance.
