20 Essential Movie Moments That Will Define 2017

The Moment: Ape leader Caesar (Andy Serkis) and the Colonel (Woody Harrelson) face off in a final battle to determine which side will "win" Earth.

Why It Will Define 2017: The new Apes movie will signal the end of a surprisingly excellent reboot trilogy, and while it will likely leave the door open for more Apes films, it's also going to bring this chapter of the tale to rest in likely devastating fashion.

Who will live? Who will die? Whether Caesar is finally taken out for good or one of his pals like Maurice takes a bullet instead, expect the intense emotion and thoughtful intelligence of the previous two films to reach a fever pitch in the film's climax. It's going to be one Hell of a fight.
