is Marky mark in this one?

No but I wish they would bring back Estella Warren. It's gotta cost next to nothing to bring her on-board

Early reviews have been pretty laudatory, especially of Andy Serkis who hopefully finally gets some love come award time. Crazy to think that this was somewhat expected of a film in a summer action trilogy

When War for the Planet of the Apes ended, I was unable to move. Glued to my seat, I sat dumbfounded at the achievement I’d just witnessed: an exquisitely filmed, emotionally stunning film that challenges what a big-budget, summer blockbuster is supposed to be. And it’s about a planet of apes.
The crazy thing is, the movie makes this look easy. The story isn’t overly complex. But each character has their own role and arc, the relationships are important, set pieces have consequences beyond just spectacle, and character drives story instead of the other way around. The film does everything a great movie should do.

I don’t know when it happened, but it happened. Somehow, while we were worrying about superheroes and star destroyers and hot rods and whether Captain America could beat up Superman or whatever, the goddamned Planet of the Apes movies became the most vital and resonant big-budget film series in the contemporary movie firmament. And they did it with the most confrontational of high concepts: Humans suck, and now the apes are the good guys.

Slashfilm posted:

With this trilogy of films, we follow Caesar through an evolution that feels similar to the journey that Wolverine has taken on the big screen, from his introduction in X-Men through this year’s powerful Logan. Caesar isn’t human, but he is a mutant, a product of human experiment, one who becomes a respected leader but also has to come to terms with the more troubling events that led to his place in his life, specifically his decision to kill the rebellious Koba in Dawn.

Well that is one outdated plot summary for the OP but whatever, that's what it was being sold as at the time. Just watch the drat thing.

Even being spoiled on Cesar dying and a lot of the plot through youtube clips and such I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The score is fantastic and-other than the prison break which drags between the tunnels being dug and the actual breakout it felt pretty tight and kept me interested the whole time.

Finally to sperg out a bit RE: Nova's doll if you actually care enough to explain how it infected the Colonel so quickly I would figure it would be because the doll probably had a bit of her saliva and/or blood on it so the thing would be crawling with mutated drat dirty ape flu

EDIT: Also did anyone else's audience go nuts over Bad Ape? I'm glad he didn't become mo-cap jar jar binks but for some reason the theater I was in went (ape poo poo) :downsrim: every time he said something.
