Apparently all the new Planet of the Apes films needed to do to really hit a home run was take the humans out of the equation. [...] the message inspires exactly the opposite reaction and the beautiful and harrowing and nearly silent nighttime raid that comes soon leaves the apes no choice but to abandon their home and hit the road in search of safety. Along the way they pick up a young, mute girl (Amiah Miller) and a tiny, manic and adorable zoo ape voiced by Steve Zahn who has the same sort of comic energy as Yoda on Dagobah (without all the force stuff and Jedi training). At times, it even feels like "War for the Planet of the Apes" is essentially a silent movie with the mute girl and the majority of the apes communicating in sign language. War for the Planet of the Apes," a 20th Century Fox release, is rated PG-13 for "sequences of sci-fi violence and action, thematic elements, and some disturbing images.
