Overview :Director Wes Ball breaths new life into the global, epic franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign With this latest offering
Storyline:Seven years after War of the Planet of the Apes brought the rebooted “man versus monkeys” series to an apparent close, the simians are back. With Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes which begins with the funeral of Caesar, the dignified leader who died in sacrifice for the ape cause, before moving forward “many generations” to a time when these talking apes are now the dominant species.
The story further moves forward with Noa (Owen Teague), a young hunter chimpanzee who lives in a peaceful community until a rival clan storms in, setting fire to his village and enslaving its inhabitants. The armor-plated leader Proximus (Kevin Durand) yells that this raid is “for ceaser”
Noa resolves to hunt the offending clan down and is joined by the wise orangutan Raka (Peter Macon) and Mae (Freya Allan), a young human who has been left to fend for herself in this hostile environment.but later there is more to Mae story that meets the eye ,
Whole hunting for his clan Noa and his fellows find is a kingdom ruled with an iron fist by Proximus, and Noa’s clan are enslaved by Proximud and he is also desperate to destroy the remaining human, that’s why he wants Noa in his team as he is sharp and intelligent
There is a neat supporting role for William H. Macy as Trevathan, an ageing fellow who has sold out to Proximus’ rule in the belief that humans will never regain their dominance. Will Noa be able to get freedom for his clan from proximus and what is the story of Mae forms the crux of the movie
Technical Review : Director Wes Ball nicely handles all the thrilling sequences — though the two-and-a-half hour runtime which is somewhat taxing
The film is carved out with motion-capture performances and expert computer graphics; the apes look splendid, as do the birds of prey that play a significant role in the story.
There are some joyous moments, such as when Noa and company come across a herd of zebra and think that they are white striped horse .
The film’s many visually rich, practical locations blend seamlessly with the VFX
Final Words : A good weekend watch
Ratings : 4*/5*
