I had very few issues with this movie. I was a bit hesitant heading in, since I loved the previous three movies, but it really didn't disappoint. It was fascinating to see how Caesar's perception has changed through generations, although some are still true to his original philosophies. On the flip side, he's used as a religious figure to have crusades over which was another interesting aspect to me. I liked how the humans (Mae) played a role in the plot. She was an interesting character acting in only her own best interest which created an interesting dynamic. I thought the world was beautiful. I loved how they incorporated the overgrown buildings/man made structures into the landscape.

The ending keeps the door open for more installments, which I will gladly welcome.

I think 6/10 is very fair here. It's not a great movie, and that's ok. If you like Brent Chrysler, you'll be entertained by this movie. I can see why he was so happy with how the movie turned out, it's just all him being something he's not for two hours (which again, is fine!). I can tell this was really just something that everyone involved with had a lot of fun with, from the actors to the editors with those kitschy transitions and strange Russian subtitles. It's quirky, and I think it works here.

Mark Hamill was a crazy get for this movie and I can't believe he agreed to do it. It definitely helped the movie's case. Jimmy Tatro was a good casting for young Bert as well.

One observation to make- Bert's character in this is literally Po from Kung Fu Panda. It's just a fat guy who dumb lucks his way through everything until the very end when his actions seem a bit more intentional and he accepts who he really is inside.
