The film provides the best conclusion in a series (based from what they say) this decade. War For The Planet Of The Apes is the grandest (the battle scenes echoes The Lord Of The Rings series), outstanding Visual Effects (arguably the frontrunner in next year's Academy Awards) that actually compliments the emotional feel of the characters. This is Andy Serkis best work ever and he gave the film its heart with his Caesar portrayal.
The battle between the humans and the apes shifts to the forest as they face off for the survival of the fittest. The humans headed by a ruthless Coronel Woody Harrelson captured all the apes that they see with some even turning their backs on their kind and joining their nemesis. Caesar as their de facto leader avoids war as much as possible but due to what he sees - he has no choice but to fight for them. There are scenes that echoes the famous jailbreak movies of the seventies and even Schindler's List and that's a compliment.
The movie is a spectacle best seen on the big screen. There is action and emotion in it's full sized glory. The creatures are indeed just like us and War For The Planet of the Apes proved it.
