A great conclusion to the trilogy! Lots of action, a good story, interesting characters and so emotional.
Caesar's story arc is excellent, we see him going to places we've never seen before after a certain event and it drives the movie to the finish line. His fight to protect his people and maintain peace is admirable. Maurice finally gets more development, Bad Ape is just so funny and Nova doesn't talk at all but she's the perfect human interaction with our ape characters. Another great addition is Red Donkey, really liked his character arc even though it's sooo predictable. Koba was a solid villain in Dawn but this one was even better for me, the embodiment of human evil and an interesting character with a solid backstory, good performance from Woody Harrelson.
The CGI's never looked better and the cinematography is on point, the snowy landscapes create a unique look for this entry. Love the score. The apes working together to get out of their cages is a perfect callout to Rise while still feeling fresh. The opening battle sequence was intense but the one in the third act was so grand and epic, on par with the one in Rise on the red bridge. Perfect emotional ending.
