Edit: *SPOILERS BELOW*. You have been warned. This so validates my theory about the film's direct inspirations--not just Biblical epics: *Charlton Heston* Biblical epics. Chuck "you damn dirty ape" Heston. The scene where Amiah's character . . . wait she just revealed the name in the video, so not my spoiler: The scene where Nova hands water to a captive Caesar is a direct transplant from *Ben-Hur* (1959), where Jesus does the same for Judah (Heston). Even the music is trying to evoke the same feeling that the spectacular Miklos Rozsa score did in the classic tale of the Christ. Then there's the final scene, where Caesar leads his people to the promised land, but he is taken away before he can enter it himself. This too is a direct transplant, this time from *The Ten Commandments* (1956), where Heston as Moses fulfills the same purpose, with the same bittersweet consequence for him. Is it too presumptuous to think that these are obvious? Perhaps only to veteran movie fans? I quite enjoyed *War*, even if some poignancy was borrowed from the greats.
Joe Sterling a lot of stuff is borrowed from other movies I don't believe it was intentional, this story was from an apes perspective not a human's big difference
Andy Serkis is an amazing actor
Andy Serkis is one of the greatest actors of his generation
Nate Johnson Agree!!
And Alfred Pennyworth
one of the best films of the year
Great movie loved it. Thought it was the best of the whole series awesome
One of my favourite movie franchises, and cast lists aswell.
I hope there's more movies to follow in the future.
The Batman director and Alfred Pennyworth are here.
Ending was awesome except for 1 part....when Caesar died,I actually balled my eyes out,I was so angry because he and his apes were finally free.
No Karin Konoval?
Where's Koba and Rocket?
Is it just me or Matt Reeves always changes of face?

Batgirl?
She was the girl in the movie that Maurice took under his wing.

That’s Nova from war for the planet of the apes
