I ’m of the belief that Matt Reeves ’ War for the Planet of the Apes is one of the good films of the year . It ’s the kind of picture you have to really nitpick to line up flaws in , but one bantam matter that add up to mind was , in fact , cut through in a deleted shot .
The vista , which is n’t embeddable , is over onCollider . It shows Andy Serkis ’s Caesar , pre - Weta magic , talking to the Colonel , play by Woody Harrelson . The Colonel explain that he had antecedently meet a man that had very courteous thing to say about Caesar . Caesar know it can only be one person , Malcolm , the character Jason Clarke played in the premature film , Dawn of the Planet of the Apes . If you desire to watch the scene , go do that , cause I ’m go bad to mollycoddle it in the next paragraph .
The Colonel tells Caesar that Malcolm pleaded with him to make peace with Caesar , because Caesar was a good leader . That never happened , though , so Caesar asked what happened . “ I shot him , ” the Colonel say .

That explains that .
Since a good amount of time had occur between these two movies there did n’t need to be a mention of Malcolm , who tried to make repose with Caesar at the end of the last picture show and went off with his people . His persona in the whole matter had already conclude . But , since these story are connected , it ’s dainty to fuck the dots did plug into , even if it did n’t make the photographic film .
Most belike , the reason the did n’t it into make the film is — besides tying up that small-scale slack end — all it does is make the Colonel more evil . And he ’s already really malign , so it ’s kind of a pleonastic moment packaged with a needless , albeit interesting , piece of information . Also , Matt Reeves could just put it on the Blu - ray instead , which is exactly what he did .

War for the Planet of the Apes is now useable both On need and on Blu - ray .
