Clunky title aside, the third entry into the surprisingly excellent Apes trilogy sees humans and apes going to full-out war, with Woody Harrelson's Colonel squaring off against ape leader Caesar (Andy Serkis).

Writer-director Matt Reeves did such a splendid job on the previous film that it's easy to have faith in War being a poignant, action-packed finale that rounds out Caesar's tale in satisfying fashion. The first trailer boasts an epic scope and suitably bleak cinematography that befits such a trilogy-capper.

Expect more jaw-dropping visual effects, and let's face it, it's pretty much inevitable that one of the lovely apes is going to die, probably wise orangutan Maurice. Bring tissues.
