War for the Planet of the Apes may not be as good as its two predecessors but it still manages to send the trilogy off on a high note. I may have mentioned this in both of my reviews for the previous two films but its simply impossible not to mention when reviewing this trilogy. The visuals throughout this film absolutely steals the show! War for the Planet of the Apes easily has the most convincing visual effects of the entire trilogy which is obviously an impressive feat to say the least. The action sequences are also incredible as expected from this trilogy by this point. Where the film falls behind for me in comparison however, is it's pacing as well as its ending. War is paced nowhere near as well as the first two and can feel a bit slow and even boring at times which was a major issue for me. Ontop of that the ending just wasn't satisfying for me at all especially given that it was the finale of Cesar's story. Cesar's story and his legacy is something that has been built throughout the entirety of this trilogy and ends rather abruptly within this film.. other than those issues, this is still an incredible sci-fi action film that will tug on your heartstrings as much as it will have you cheering on the edge of your seat!
