War for the Planet of the Apes- Trailer 2
Ever since Rise of the Planet of the Apes debuted in 2011, I have been a massive fan of this reinvented franchise. Andy Serkis brought such a humanity and a vulnerability to the character of Caesar, who we saw grow and evolve (no pun intended) in the sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes . These films have done such a good job at being blockbuster spectacles, but while also retaining a strong emotional core. They're not like Transformers , where it's all CGI and explosions; these movies have something to say. And that's not something you would have necessarily thought the Planet of the Apes franchise to be capable of pre-2011, especially after the disastrous Tim Burton remake. Now, this summer, we have the third film, War for the Planet of the Apes , coming out, which is essentially the culmination of everything that has happened in the previous two movies. Caesar's arc is coming full circle, and we are finally leading into the world we saw in the original 19
