In this Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes review, we dive deep into how Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes redefines the iconic franchise and emerges as a perfect summer blockbuster.
When the movie was first announced, skepticism was high. Could Wes Ball, known for the Maze Runner series, truly follow in the footsteps of Matt Reeves? While the Maze Runner films were better than many YA adaptations, Wes Ball wasn’t the obvious choice to continue the Apes saga. Even the initial trailers, with their high production value and impressive motion capture performances, didn’t fully hint at the monumental impact this film would have.
But boy, were we in for a surprise! Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is not just a continuation but an epic reckoning of the 2010s Apes trilogy. It offers a thoughtful and vigorously considered outlook on the aftermath of Caesar’s story, expanding the world and exploring the ramifications of his legacy decades on. The film delves into the clash between apes and humanity, and the diverse interpretations of Caesar’s teachings, twisted by time like a centuries-long game of telephone.
Wes Ball has truly outdone himself, introducing a captivating new protagonist in Owen Teague’s Noa and setting up a new era for the Planet of the Apes franchise. This film stands as a staggering, Apocalypto-esque odyssey for this decade, with Apes never being stronger. The complexities of Caesar's legacy are large but twisted in this coming-of-age story of truth and lies, knowledge and power.
Prepare to be blown away by the breathtaking visual feast that is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. It's the Star Wars: A New Hope for the Apes franchise, leading the charge into a new era with a magnificent narrative and stunning visuals. Enjoy this kingdom of the planet of the apes review!
Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes analysis, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes explained video, and breakdown of the new Planet of the Apes movie in this Planet of the Apes video essay. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a perfect legacy sequel, and in this review we get into why!

I think the future of this franchise is very bright, and I'm really excited to see where the next film goes. Kingdom was incredible in my opinion, not quite as good as the Andy Serkis trilogy, but still a solid 8.5/10. Noah is a fantastic new main protagonist, we've got some great side characters in Soona and Anaya, and Proximus Caesar was a phenomenal villain. Only complaint is I wish we got a bit more of him

Hot take. Completely miss the allegory of the biblical Noah and the flood? That story is about people who have misconstrued the “word of god” being washed away be the flood, Noah building an ark (or in this case a metaphorical one) to protect the future of his species, and he and his family train birds who find land where he can bring his people to in order to set up a new home and rebuild.

I think the reason why this was my favorite planet of the apes movie at least of the four I’ve seen is probably because when I first started watching that trilogy, I guess I didn’t expect for it to basically be one giant origin if that makes sense? , I wanted to see was the actual planet taken over by apes and that culture. I feel like this movie was what I wanted all along. Because, in the first three movies while good a lot of it felt like a buildup. Like it felt like we were seen the apes take over and even in the third one I never really felt like we got that true “PLANET” . That’s what this movie was to me.

No, I totally get that. That's a big reason why this is my second favorite as well. The Caesar trilogy is masterful, especially Dawn, but the environment, the ruins, the advancements in Ape technology and culture, THAT is the stuff that I want to see from POTA. This struck a perfect balance of evolving the franchise closer to where we're at in the original POTA, while carrying over the parts of the Caesar trilogy that were so effective.

Proxi was actually not an evil generic character. Instead a personality wanting to finally force his people together for their advancement. Like any parody, he copied what worked in the past. He never set out to destroy apes into his vision. Instead pool them all together for his new direction. Largely everything we saw him do is exactly what our ancestors did in times of old to expand their empires into what we have today. Hence why he was given history lessons through books.
I think it’s funny that Proximus was learning about Caesar’s namesake (Julius). Probably incorporating more of Julius Caesar than ape Caesar.
Didn’t realize until I rewatched the first movie that the symbol on the necklace is from the window in Caesar’s room, which he then drew on his cell wall when in captivity. I’m doing a rewatch of the trilogy with my wife, who hasn’t seen them yet. I don’t remember the symbol showing up in the other movies, so I thought it was an interesting callback.

The first thing I learned about this movie is a friend calling the villain’s Caesar’s Legion from New Vegas. Someone looks to Roman history to reestablish society and goes about this by conquering, enslaving, and erasing the identity of various tribes. Also they both take the name Caesar
I really like Mae’s character. Because, let’s be real, she is what humans would be if they were really in this situation. She sees these apes as unnatural. It’s wrong. If we were really in this situation, we would do everything in our power to end these apes. So I love the way they characterized her. She’s on a mission for humanity, whilst finding humanity in the apes along the way. Now she’s set on a course where she’s gonna be torn between sides and will probably be forced to choose.

This film is fantastic! After seeing it twice now I’m convinced the Planet of the Apes property deserves an open world survival game. I’m just imagining choosing a species of ape, foraging for materials, climbing and traversing an overgrown world, building up a settlement, and fending off rival apes. That’s just a simple concept but it sure sounds captivating to me. Regardless I’m very much looking forward to what this franchise brings next because personally I haven’t gotten enough of it yet!

I think that this movie lags ever so slightly behind the trilogy which is way beyond anything I could have expected. The thing that I sorely miss about Matt Reeves directing is the sense of texture that he was able to develop. It was as if you could feel the fog in Dawn or the snow in War, and that simply isn't something that I feel in this one because I think that that texture is unique to Reeves. I don't think that there was a "No" moment either necessarily like there was in Rise not that there needed to be, but it was something that was uniquely powerful in Rise. That's enough negativity though, this film was fantastic. Something I loved in particular was the telescope/space motif, and I really hope that that is something that they retain and further develop in future. I'm a mathematician who has had the opportunity to work alongside astronomers (astronomy is incredibly mathematically dense, but to be honest, they really just needed a programmer), and something I've thought about a lot is the start of the scientific revolution. In our timeline, it started in astronomy with Copernicus, but a part of me wonders when I look at the sky if that is always how it happens like if the stars are, in a sense, unique in their ability to instill a capacity for wonder in us. With the telescope being Noah's enlightenment, I wonder if that's what Wes Ball was potentially going for. I love this film it's like an 8.6/10 while still leaving room for a potential Dawn-quality sequel.

Where are you getting "Roman Catholicism" from Proximus? The vibe feels much more like the Roman Empire, even specifically mentioning it in dialogue. Proximus very much gives the sense of Caesar as a divine ruler, with himself as the current Caesar, much like the Roman emperors with whom he shares a name. It even seems like he acknowledges his mortality to Noah in private as if it undermines his philosophy, insisting that he needs to evolve before he inevitably dies.

I'm always impressed by Owen Teague in everything he's in, especially in recent years. I always think a movie is great if I find myself wanting to watch it again once it's over, and I personally did.
I dont recall the film ever stating raka thought humans were always less. I mean the guy was living in the ruins of an airport with humans shown on the walls. Also he literally says caesar was raised by humans hence his love for them.

The point you make about Raka's philosophy regarding humans excites me! I can see how that benign sentiment can develop within ape society into something like Rudyard Kipling's "White Man's Burden" and become a fully bigoted paradigm against humans. The clergy apes like Raka pity the humans. The military apes hate the humans. And there's a persistent myth about humans that can talk without any concrete evidence to support it. The possibilities of this lore really open up with this installment! I can't wait to see what happens, next!
Why did so many people thought this movie was going to flop? Feels like most haven't even watch the last films. The quality stayed so I had faith in it, the trailer was also interesting so it's just weird for me
Honestly I was going to make a video on this topic of the mythology of Kingdom but you said everything I would have wanted to. Excellent work. Also mae the true villain in all this frfr
Love that you mentioned Apocalypto. Fortunately saw it shortly after this movie and saw a lot of similarities, and I loved them both so much
I have a feeling the next planet of the apes film will be called “Ark of the Planet of the Apes”. And use Noah as sort of a Noah’s Ark kind of figure, traveling a new land for the Apes to build a new Kingdom.
I still need to see the movie again but did Proximus ever actually say he wanted to eliminate all humans? I saw Mae as the actual villain of the film because she represents the faction of humans that will always exist...a faction that will always want to exterminate all the apes. That's why I view the humans as the actual villains. Also I don't like how Mae feels WAY too contemporary for a story that takes place hundreds of years from today. She feel like a character straight out of the 2020s.

Proximus did indeed say he wanted to destroy humanity when he pulled aside Noah in the dinner scene. I feel you all are being too idealistic. If you saw Proximus as a human you’d see him as the tyrant he really was. He intended to weaponize humanity’s technology solely for HIS apes development. There’s a reason he specifies HIS evolution instead of all of apes evolution. Mae having dealt directly with Proximus’ apes has a distrust of apes, but especially him. She knew what it would mean for him to learn the dark side of our species. Her choose was a hard one, but it wasn’t a comically villainous one. It’s a real choice that might’ve been made. She’s no villain, she’s a flawed protagonist, a flawed survivor that must learn that not all apes are Proximus. Like we know not all Germans, small Frenchmen, or Italians are evil.
Also jumping 300 years gives the potential for a few series to fill in the gaps
Hello Film Speak, The are 5 more movies planned after "Kingdom". Glad you loved the film. I also love the film because it's so different from the previous 3 "Apes" films. It's more of a straightforward hero's journey that follows the "Star Wars" formula. The visuals & CGI are amazing, the storyline is great, the performances are all top notch & there are callbacks & Easter Eggs to the first five "Apes" films with Charlton Heston & Roddy McDowell. The film should win an Oscar for best visual & CGI effects. It is also doing well at the Box-Office & is outgrossing "War of the Planet of the Apes." In fact, it has not only outgrossed all three of Wes Balls' "Maze Runner" films, but it has also outgrossed all of the original 5 "Apes" movies with Charlton Heston & Roddy McDowell & will likely stay in the fourth-place spot during its' fourth weekend. So "Apes" is doing fine.

I will eventually watch this movie. I don't know if it is because I saw the original 60s and 70s movies when I was younger but the new series has never really appealed to me. I am never disappointed in the movies that I get, but I am also never blown away and am always leery of what the next one will be. Almost like I am waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under me. It hasn't happened yet but for some reason I can't ever shake the feeling. That said, this video has convinced me to go to the theater this weekend and catch this movie if it is still playing.

Did Raka really die, though? I have my hopes.
Im hyped to see where they take the franchise after! (if this film makes any money)
Just watched this yesterday! Gave me Black Panther vibes and Proximus reminded me of Killmonger. No good vs bad, just different outlooks on the same world.
This video deserves more views

Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
Why can’t we get this kind of brilliant storytelling with Star Wars? I wish someone would put respect on Anakin, kenobi, Han, Leia and Luke in a way that the sequels and other Disney projects never did.
I'm banking on that the next film is going to revisit that space mission that left for Mars at the end of Rise based on the ending of this film. Especially if Ball said that he'd like to make this reboot lead up to PotA and the several nods to space in this film (the telescope, astronaut mural, the hanging model planets).
worth watching. more of a classic take on the originals. leaving me want to see what the next one will show us, from space.
This is a terrific review.👍👏
Definitely my favorite POTA movie
If you think about it ,there were a lot of Bible references such as the name Noah, the dam being built alongside a huge boat,and the flood having to do with washing away knowledge yet being the catalyst for so much more to come.
How would you rank the reboot movies?

@@God_gundam36 yeah but the same style of clothing lasting 300 years? Def not. Clothes don’t even last more than 40 years before they decompose. Unless they were wearing lycra and polyester which take 500.
Maze Runner was definitely better that the "Harry Potter" stuff of THAT time. Magical Beasts wasn't it - and most of those movies were exceptionally directed, even if the scripts weren't quite there.
I adored this film. Nice seeing others being just as enthusiastic about it!
Personally I think the surviving humans will become the secret underground human society we see in the original planet of the apes movies. I think the Noah trilogy would build up Ceasars legend as a religion and seeing Apes forming a society, with the third film us seeing them wear clothes more commonly during winter. I think the last trilogy would actually be a remake of the original Planet of the Apes but with the given lore of the previous films.
I was going to comment on a recent video asking if you have any thoughts on this movie actually. I enjoyed it personally.

LOVED the film. One of my favorites of the year so far!
My favorite movie series! Since I was a kid, I even enjoyed the Tim Burton one. But these 4 films are a masterpiece
The movie was solid, but definitely not on the level of the first three. But still, if Ball’s work here is at all indicative of the quality of the Legend of Zelda film, I think we’re in good hands.
Proximus kinda looks like Koba a little bit too
SAY HIS WORDS
Fun fact: They based on Elon Musk's appearance and way of walking to make Proximus Cesar
The fact they're slowly growing into a culture where names like Cornelius or Zaïus feel normal is really doing it for me.
They should call the next film “Legacy of the Planet of the Apes” where Noa finds out about his legacy of Caesar with him being his descendent
I thought the movie was great, but I disagree with a few of your points. I think the movie having Noa question his father’s leadership was more of a buildup for his out of the box thinking rather than a criticism of his father’s leadership. The point the movie seemed to be making was about following blindly rather than a criticism about the leadership itself. You had Noa’s father who lead with tradition for the benefit of his people, Raka who followed what he believed to be Caesar’s teachings, and Proximus who searched for and twisted knowledge to benefit himself. You see how Noa questions each belief, but settles on preserving his tribes traditions instead of just blindly accepting Proximus’ laws. It’s not criticizing Noa’s father’s leadership, but showing Noa learning to understand his father which leads to his bird accepting Noa.
honestly caesar or however you spell it, reminds me of a more i dunno "nicer" or better version of the leader of ceaser's legion in fallout new vegas, kinda random but to me they feel similar
I think Matt Reeve's movies were more profound. This movies lack excitement. There were not a variety of action scenes.
At the beginning of the film Raka says that the tribes were destroyed, Cesar's clan. Where the narrative will have a development of simeos with laws and constitutions. Have you seen a very superficially constructed narrative? No one mentioned the connection between simians and humans was very weak. There wasn't anything that grabbed me and made me want to cheer, as everything was predictable.
I liked how the Eagle Clan literally sang Proximus to death
I just wanna know what would be the face of Klayton when he arrive to Earth
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY🗣️
Was a great film. Sequel has massive potential
0:57 ceasar 😂
Ngl the German title Planet of the Apes: New Kingdom is such a better title. Literally one of my only issues with the series is the janky titles other than that they're all damn near perfect
To be fair, Maze Runner was an adaptation, this was more or less an original
Wait Wait Wait, i fucking love the Maze runner movies
Even tho not alot of people loved the movie, personally I feel as if this won't surpass the Ceasar trilogy, buy I really enjoyed this movie
I'm sorry I love the movie but the fact Mei is wearing normal clothes was either dumb or giving away the twist that she was actually smart which was so distracting to me all the stuff where Noa see her like an animal and the telescope scene really didn't hit as hard as it should have.
Was a great movie got the privilege of being the only one in the cinema that was pretty awsome
Seen it today

Omg I had THE EXACT same thought watching!! Even the approach to the apes franchise with the reboot FEELS very AC inspired with a new protagonist, passage of time, etc.

@@jdogsful Proximus's general like power and aura scared them. They're not fighters, they raise eagles. Thats why they get bitched in fights, it's only their wits and tactics that they end up winning. (Noa vs the Gorilla). They were scared and yielded to Proximus. It isn't only until Noa revives their culture, their lives that the clan unites.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes show that the movies are going to be like it had been in 1968 movie were every thing is something like that movie and the three movies that came before
Caesar will be back if there is time travel
I tought it was going to be a cash grab but nah its pretty good
Mae is the villain of this movie
The weird thing? Humans are an Ape. And I think that aspect is what this new trilogy is going to focus on to some degree.

For sure! I think the first one is genuinely good and a step above the run of the mill YA films. But yeah, I mean the trilogy as a whole wasn't enough to exactly inspire confidence in Apes, BUT I'm glad he proved me wrong!
The whole bird thing at r the end was kinda corny though.
