Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a beautiful and very thought-provoking addition to this beloved franchise. By Wes Ball, his film carries on the torch that was lit by its predecessors; it proposes a new narrative set generations after the events of “War for the Planet of the Apes.” The movie narrates the story of young chimpanzees Noa, Anaya, and Soona of the Eagle Clan as they try to sail through a world where fairness, loyalty, and communal solidarity are highly valued.

The movie has an acutely competent visual style that delivers some awesome action beats and really smart set pieces. Performance capture technology brings a great deal of subtlety to the ape characters, so their struggles and triumphs feel deep1. Themes of survival, ethics, and the delicate balance between humans and apes are done with depths that will keep franchise fans satisfied.

While “Kingdom” doesn’t have the same dramatic highs as its predecessors, it is uniquely engaging and immersive. New characters are fleshed out, and the plot is logical, rewarding, with no wasted scenes1. The flair that Wes Ball, fresh off his work with the “Maze Runner” series, brings to the franchise lends a new feel to it, with survival suspense melded with rich world-building.
