Trivia
The water dumped on Caesar around 1:27:00 was supposed to be warm, but the crew forgot to heat it up. Caesar's shocked reaction is authentic. They were all apologetic afterward, but Andy Serkis said that it worked for the scene.

Goofs
When Caesar scans the camp with the binoculars, Luca asks in sign language if he's spotted the Colonel. Caesar responds despite the fact that he is looking through binoculars and couldn't have seen Luca signing.

Quotes
Caesar: I did not start this war. I offered you peace. I showed you mercy. But now you're here. To finish us off... for good.

Crazy credits
The 20th Century Fox fanfare is played through the use of Congo drums instead of the traditional percussion instruments.

As near a perfect film as you'll get.

War for the Planet of the Apes is as near a perfect film as you'll ever get. It manages to surpass Dawn in just about every aspect, which is a huge achievement. The pacing is perfect, the score is phenomenal, and the CGI is out of this world. You can't give the special effects team enough credit, what they've done for this film is truly magnificent. Andy Serkis is oustanding as Caesar and I'm fully aboard the Oscar train! Woody Harrelson plays a great villain and is owner of the one and only expositional scene in the film. It truly is a masterpiece and caps off the trilogy like I never thought possible. A remarkable film.
