Thoughts on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

Everything you’d want in an Apes movie.
Probably my second favorite after Dawn. But it’s real hard to tell. The apes in this look so good and believable and menacing and adorable at the same time that I wonder if that just makes it a better movie?
All the apes are very likable. When the one buddy said he was scared, that got me in the feels.
I don’t think the human element of this really works. The main actress is hot but I think she struggled filming this pretty obviously. I mean, she’s too young and pretty for this role too. Hard to believe her storyline
Also, the other human character. Not sure if it’s a spoiler. He was also pretty bad in this.
Everything ape related though is great. There are some pacing issues but the movie also is pretty fast paced so not a huge issue.
Really curious where the story goes from here

One idea could be that astronauts crash on a strange planet in the future. The crew stumbles upon a society in which apes have evolved into creatures with human-like intelligence and speech. The apes have assumed the role of the dominant species and humans are mute creatures wearing animal skins. Throw in a huge twist at the end though… having a hard time coming up with an idea for that.

It really irritates me that they misnamed “Dawn” and “Rise”. That’s a problem I constantly have to rethink thanks to the misnaming of those films.

I know that she’s 22 but she’s always teenage Cirri to me

I liked it. The CGI was really good. The apes looked real even when talking. I didn't think the main actress was bad.
I like the different ways that apes followed Caesar. .

i enjoyed it a lot as well, i went in expecting nothing and it was very refreshing to see something new.
to me, it seemed humans weren't part of this story, they were there, but this was more a coming of age of the new leaders and how apes were coping with life in the new world.
i like that they made it, the apes story
no need to have humans trying to be part of the story when its not needed. i also like the way it ended with 2 avenues they can use to do something with humans by the story of those scientists still hiding underground labs, or the ones like echo that are smart and educated working free on the outside trying to survive the ape world. there are lots of story lines that can sprout from that starting point of reference

Good to hear. Dawn is also my favorite so I’ll probably agree with you on this too

I definitely think Raka makes a return. The ambiguity of his “death” and all, we never saw his body. I could see him coming back.

The chick was gorgeous. Distractingly hot for the role she was playing.
The CGI was amazing. The monkeys looked great.
I was honestly a little bored. I don’t give a shite about the monkeys. I wanted all of them to die. I wanted the hot chick to really use those guns she found.
The birds attacking the king was kind of hokey but whatever.

The wife and I saw it this past week in the XD theater. I really do like how this franchise has rebooted itself with the initial film that had James Franco and baby Caesar in it. The new movie is action packed and the CGI is just amazing now. Loved the way the story moved on from the last one with Woody Harrelson in it. Look forward to the future of this series.

Everything I'm hearing about this movie is 'meh'. Nothing happens.

Saw it last night. I was waiting for Noah to unleash the Caesar from within but it didn’t happen…. But at the same time they intentionally made the movie this way- to keep you wanting more.
One thing I picked up on is that the Apes understand that humans are capable of much more than they are with intelligence. The series can take a very interesting turn. It was enjoyable. A good way to kick off a new trilogy.
