All Rights Reserved.Set several generations in the future following Caesar ’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows.
“Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is set decades after Ceasar reign. History has been lost to the passing of time. The apes have completely forgotten the cages they were once held in. Humankind has reverted to prehistoric behavior. Wild with limited intellect.), a young ape on a rite of passage, sees his life upended when a rival clan decimated his village. His fellow tribespeople are taken as slaves.
“Kingdom” isn’t nearly as good as the previous trilogy, but it does set the stage for a narrative that I am interested in seeing. That, however, is somewhat problematic in that it is evident that “Kingdom” is not intended as a standalone film and the bulk of the story is yet to be explored. This inevitably weakens “Kingdom.”
The action is good, the special effects are incredible, and most of the performances hit the right notes. I like Noa, but I’m not entirely sure how I feel about Mae. That’s clearly intended. Something that will be addressed somewhere down the line. If there is a down the line.. I just hope that the narrative is given the chance to answer all the questions that the final scenes raise.’s script.
