	Author	Review
United States	Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"An intense thriller examining mercy, human nature and the price of vengeance."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Technological wizardry and first-rate storytelling combine into a bracing action-adventure that concludes the best science fiction trilogy since the original trio of 'Star Wars' movies."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The third of the 'Planet of the Apes' ‘reboot series’ is just as good as its predecessors: a bold, sweeping adventure told with confidence and intensity (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"It’s not just the CG that’s visually impressive here; 'War' boasts some extraordinary set pieces."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"If you already find yourself on the side of the 'Apes' enthusiasts (...) then 'War' will likely be a mind-blowing experience, upping the ante via both its bleeding-edge visual effects and the grim self-seriousness of Reeves’ approach."	POS
United States	Bilge Ebiri Village Voice	"The effects are incredible, the action is exciting, the music is great, and Andy Serkis, once again embodying a non-human character through motion-capture technology, remains terrific."	POS
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"A clever, well-acted summer blockbuster which is an involving cross between a classic Western revenge and a war movie."	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"A soulful, mesmerising spectacle (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	James Dyer Empire	"This is a more introspective journey (...) That’s not to say there isn’t excitement (...) The conflict here is one of morality, identity and the boundaries of humanity (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
