Watch the War for the Planet of the Apes clip below.
If you’re not sure what’s happening in this clip, that’s probably for the best. The reason Bad Ape and Maurice are underground with their young human counterpart Nova is probably best left secret until you see the movie for yourself. Just know that the place Bad Ape is going to be hoisted into from Maurice’s back is dangerous, and Bad Ape isn’t exactly the bravest simian.
Steve Zahn is surprisingly great as Bad Ape in this movie. The character definitely provides plenty of comic relief, but he’s also played so tenderly and earnestly by Zahn that you can’t help but love the little guy. Bad Ape is also an ape who is not part of Caesar’s tribe. He became intelligent while in a zoo, showing that the advanced smarts of this new breed of apes has spread into places that our ape heroes didn’t know about.
Make sure you go out of your way to see War for the Planet of the Apes this weekend. It’s a blockbuster that packs an emotional punch, some stunning visual effects and damn fine storytelling from director Matt Reeves.
