Brendan Fraser and Colin Farrell Stand Out Among New Batch of Best Actor Contenders Sundance Sets Tone for Increasingly Crowded Best Documentary Feature Race IndieWire’s Eric Kohn praised the 2017 “Planet of the Apes” film “War for the Planet of the Apes,” writing that the feature provided a “dynamic finale” to director Reeves’ trilogy. “It's a given that an expensive 21st century sci-fi movie with talking animals, exploding tanks, and jarring machine guns would look and sound great, but Reeves applies these effects with such a measured strategy that they're always working in service of a greater narrative agenda,” Kohn wrote. “‘War for the Planet of the Apes’ focuses on survivors making their way through a broken world; Reeves, wading his way through a commercial system that doesn't always prioritize quality, can probably relate.” The original 1968 “Planet of the Apes” spurred four sequels concluding in 1973. Two TV series and a 2001 remake ultimately lead to the 2011 prequel films, starting with “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” directed by Rupert Wyatt. The film explained the origin story for the intelligent apes and starred James Franco and Andy Serkis. Director Reeves replaced Wyatt for follow-up “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” and the subsequent “War for the Planet of the Apes.” Sign Up: Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news!
