Whisper it, but this could be a perfect trilogy. Caesar is back.
Given that Matt Reeves is about to go ape with the new Batman film, it’s highly unlikely that he’s going to slip up on the proverbial banana skin with his upcoming epic, War for the Planet of the Apes.
If you’ve seen the previous two installments then you’ll know that these films aren’t just mindless blockbusters because it’s impossible not to root for Caesar as he does his very best to avoid global destruction. Still though, man is an animal that’s be hellbent on destruction.
This is the showdown that we’ve all been waiting for. Annihilation is imminent.
Plot’s it all about?: In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. 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.
