A very intense and well made war movie

The movie cover on this event only, which gives it incredible focus. The tension built up is strong, the tactics and events seem legit, and the seals are depicted as courageous and skilled, but not infallible with superpowers. Hats off.

Surprisingly mature, but still a slightly distant game world

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the characters, looks and various memorable scenes, and the way that things have a mature quality to them.. But you still may feel like you're thrown in a world you do not know, making it hard to connect with it, or be immersed by it.

Not as good as the preceeding parts, but still fine

It is dark and slightly depressing, it is kind of slow at times and the music sounded simplistic and almost unfinished to me. So all in all less successful than the previous parts. But there's still heaps of impressive and sympathetic apes working together and fighting intense encounters.

Feels like a three hour trailer

The space tech in here is bold and looks stunning, and the movie feels more mature than part I. But the script and storytelling is exhaustive, consisting out of endless shots of people doing and saying techno stuff instead of really following a character.

The Chinese are starting to copy the wrong things

I can appreciate huge production values as well as the story, but the execution is chaotic, at times incomprehensible and sadly felt like the Chinese are now emulating the wrong Hollywood kitsch and cliches. It felt like a Chinese Armageddon clone.
