The movie truly delves into the quote of "Ape shall not kill ape", as we see Caesar slowly transgressing into the cloud of darkness, and abandoning all of his ambitions and love. Caesar is haunted by the memory of Koba and the quote previously mentioned, and, as the movie progresses, Caesar's love of humans dies along with his family and other apes, making him become similar to Koba. Throughout the movie, the audience soon realises that the movies are not about "The Planet of the Apes" anymore, but about a deeper issue of Caesar and his character's mind and thoughts. And, even Caesar seems to value his personal quests rather than the larger goal.
The setting and photography are magnificent, making it hard to tell what is CGIed and what isn't. But, without the perfect visual effects, the movie would not have half the impact it had, with every single hair being done to precise measurement, you can even see the graying of Caesar's hair as he grows old and weary, with the tips tinged with white to represent the snow and ice forming on his body. Gunshots seem realistic and wrinkles on the apes give perfect contrast to the precise detail and architecture of their face. You can even notice the bags under their eyes! But, being a dedicated fan, as most who see this movie are, the tie-ins and 'nods' to the original "Planet of the Apes" are natural, unforced tie-ins, adding to the experience as a fan even more-so than a new customer to the "Apes" franchise.
Easily being one of the best "Planet of the Apes" movies, this does not disappoint, whether you are in search of action, vendetta, emotional drama or just to the see sequel to "Dawn". The darkest and most tempting movie in the franchise: "War for the Planet of the Apes".
