Movie Matchmaker: "War for the Planet of the Apes"

**This is the first of my "Movie Matchmaker" series.  As such, it is reasonable to expect that the format of these posts may evolve as I continue on.**

First, a brief synopsis:

The War for the Planet of the Apes is the third installment of the overhauled franchise that was retooled in 2011.  In this chapter, Ceasar and his tribe of apes fundamentally want to live a life of peace and quiet away from the humans that created them.  The humans desire an identical outcome, save for one exception; they pursue their peace by attempting genocide and ultimately enslaving the apes.  Lines are crossed, many are killed, and everyone suffers under the horrors of war in the battle for the survival of both species.

If you enjoy...

• Allegorical tales that reflect both the historical landscape and current state of our country
• Subtle and engaging character acting punctuated by nuanced facial expressions
• A wonderfully conflicted main character
• A villain who is a human Patriot and will protect the human race by any means necessary
• Battles of mass proportions
• Beautifully designed CGI (take a look at the transformation and creation of Ceasar HERE)

...then perhaps you'll find a match in The War for the Planet of the Apes!
