War For The Planet Of The Apes is the third installment of a franchise that I seemingly enjoy but consistently forget about. This is the teaser trailer for said third installment, which promises us the war that has been teased since the end of the first movie.
Reboot culture gets a lot of guff (much of it deserved), but it’s not all bad. Star Trek Beyond and Mad Max Fury Road made people care about seemingly-creatively exhausted franchises again, while Rise of the Planet of the Apes — the first non-Tim Burton Apes film since 1973’s unintentionally hilarious Battle for the Planet of the Apes — was much better than it had any right to be. AndDawn of the Planet of the Apes, released three years later, was even better. But both movies had the same problem: they were two-hour long teases, the action before the real action. It’s even right there in the titles: Rise and Dawn.
In War for the Planet of the Apes, we’ll finally get to the good stuff.
