RISE, DAWN, and WAR are a trilogy of movies in which Andy Serkis acts the hell out of every scene he is in. His emotions are on show 100% and for a CGI character, no words can express just how impressive that is. Caesar will be fondly remembered as a legendary warrior of cinema, certainly the best of his generation, and every single attribute goes towards Mr Serkis' compelling and emotional performance.

The journey of Caesar is wrapped up in a beautiful way and should resonate with any human being who feels strongly about the themes of family and survival.

Also, I'm truly bewildered by the number of people rating this excellent movie a ZERO on IMDb. WHAT?? Any part of the plot that you had a problem with does not discount the incredible commitment of every cast member and the level they perform that is FAR more realistic than any other movie or television show nowadays.

I've read people saying "the title 'War' is deceptive" - NO IT IS NOT. These people need to consider the need for BALANCE. If every scene in this movie included fights and soldiers then it would be dull, cold, ineffective - exactly what viewers DON'T want. This movie accomplished something special. It wraps up the franchise without taking anything away from the first two instalments, both of which I loved, and it sets a new challenge for Caesar in which you're once again rooting for his willpower to overcome the struggle.

I am thrilled to be part of a generation in which our young audiences have such an inspiring and loving character like Caesar to look up to. This film easily gets a perfect 10. Anything less is an insult. Powerful acting, powerful drama, and powerful conclusion to an amazing franchise that has done the legacy of PLANET OF THE APES extremely proud.
