Every Planet Of The Apes Movie Ranked From Worst To Best
3. War For The Planet Of The Apes (2017)
War for the Planet of the Apes brought the curtain down on the exceptional reboot trilogy, and also the series as a whole when you consider the cyclical nature of these time-travel mind-benders.
Although Matt Reeves's threequel fell just short of the lofty standards set by its predecessor, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, this is another blockbuster with brains, heart and plenty of bang for your buck.
Once again, CGI-enhanced Andy Serkis steals the show as Ceasar, with the great ape taking on a new level of realism this time around as the owner as the most soulful pair of eyes ever seen on screen.
When the audience wasn't lost in their depths, they were revelling in the movie's allegorical power, contemporary relevance and awe-inspiring battle scenes.
All of those subtle nods to the original were appreciated, too.
