Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes

Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes Review.

Review: If anything, this movie is a decent starting point for another possible series of movies on the big screen. They should have a different tone and feel from the generic tentpole movies that Hollywood usually gives us.

The fourth instalment in what could be one of the best science fiction reboots ever made, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (even saying it feels like a mouthful) isn’t difficult to get through despite its length and overwhelming familiarity. But the question remains: was it necessary?

Does Josh Friedman (screenwriter) and Wes Ball (director) try as hard as they can – three films later – not to live up to their direct predecessors? Yes, they do. But there’s enough meat on these bones that I won’t call Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes a complete waste even if some parts don’t work out.

If anything, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a solid enough starting point for another possible series of movies on the big screen. They should have a different tone and feel from the generic tentpole movies that Hollywood usually gives us.

Wes Ball’s film is imaginative in its small yet determined way. It reflects our world but plays out many time zones and light-years away from where we are situated. Most importantly though, it’s fun!

In this world – or rather this film – apes rule everything much more than any other installment has shown them doing so far. Only two human characters appear throughout this visually spectacular action drama which is driven by special effects; they speak little but chimpanzees not only talk like humans do but also think with their hearts.

Centuries after War For The Planet Of The Apes (2017), mankind has been all but wiped out by a virus that left them without language skills while primates across continents started evolving at an exponential rate – thus taking over as Earth’s dominant species.

Noa (Owen Teague), a young chimpanzee from the Eagle clan, finds himself thrown into chaos where only strength and wisdom can help him survive. Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand), a power-hungry ape leader, burns down Noa’s village killing his father Kora (Neil Sandilands) in the process.

We meet Noa gathering eagle eggs during an initiation with his friend Anaya and love interest Soona. However things don’t go according to plan which leads to a life-altering event that forces him out of the world he knows.

Caesar is long gone, but still lives on in his disciples many years later; these consist of such a wide range of things that it’s no wonder the usurper Proximus has distorted them beyond recognition. He converted an ancient human settlement into a slave colony where he runs things and wants access to a certain bunker whose secret nobody knows about yet.

But enough with all this Proximus stuff—first we have got to see what’s going on with Noa before finding out what exactly the evil plan is! She must endure trials upon trials if she wants any hope of ever seeing her missing clan again or bringing them back home safe and sound. Along her journey, Noa encounters an old orangutan named Raka (Peter Macon) who reminds him about morality, compassion and strength which were always shown by Caesar. Does this young boy have what it takes?

All three of these characteristics come into play when Noa helps out a woman he meets only briefly (Freya Allan). This first human character we get introduced to calls herself Nova but hides her motive for seeking help from our hero behind other reasons.

Taken prisoner by one general under another leader called Proximus Caesar who turns out not be dead after all ,Noa & Mae are brought back towards townships wherefrom thereabouts does despots wreak havoc among apes kept captive as slaves.The ape-man reunites with Soona besides mother at some point during this phase while also making acquaintance with William H.Macy’s Trevathan –a man having sold his soul long since then…

Even before you begin watching Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes (which may seem like another too obvious title), it becomes clear that violence unleashed by Proximus bears striking similarities with acts committed by autocratic rulers across contemporary history who trade in myths concerning their nation or cultural pasts combined alongside personality cults aimed at enabling them retain power forever. In such instances, what clashes in Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes is between those seeking peace & unity against oppressive forces that seek nothing less than total domination over earth.

It may be true that this construct comes across as somewhat forced or maybe even too heavy-handed but fortunately for Kingdom of the planet of apes , the director’s approach ensures an action-packed storyline nimbly counterbalances time spent on explaining things. Furthermore, this visually stunning movie never lets up; it keeps moving so fast and you will not want to look away from whatever happens next onscreen.

The thing about Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is that humans (and apes ) aren’t just boring symbols representing different levels human civilization like we’ve seen before nor are situations created entirely out saving world from certain doom kind which tends get stale However , yes indeed , this particular tale does have a few holes here there as well as risk running little bit too long still given what all addressed by film Wesley Ball certainly kept us interested throughout his kinetic storytelling where everything mattered and nothing felt superfluous either ; while its fair share high octane scenes held back only enough not seem gratuitous .

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes certainly has its fair share of set pieces, but these look neither like sets nor are they merely bits and bobs. They’re all part and parcel of the film’s design — much more so than most Hollywood blockbusters, that is to say.
