What’s Snow Got To Do With It?

Due respect to Matt Reeves, whose direction of 2014’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was as good as it could have been, but this mini=teaser for War of the Planet of the Apes (20th Century Fox, 7.4.17) in no way heats the blood. The plot seems to promise the last half-hour of Full Metal Jacket except with apes. Personality- or charisma-wise it’ll be Andy Serkis (Ceasar) vs. Woody Harrelson (Colonel Horseshit). Sorry, that just popped out — Harrelson’s character is actually unnamed..
