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.

    If I had to guess, he saw Saturn. He took an interest in poking Saturn in the classroom orrery when he saw it hanging from the ceiling. What are the odds you accidentally see a rather hard target to train a telescope on though? Maybe you’d see a star or two accidentally. With a scope that large, anything in the field of view would pass through in 10-20 seconds. The thought was really cool though! Loved everything about that flick.

    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.

    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 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.

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.

Regardless, I think he HAS to be involved in the next two Apes films no matter what.

Maybe I just miss Ceaser and his gentle and loving nature but I would love rewatch it again and give it a second chance!

    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!

    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.

She and her humans cling to a time long gone and instead of try and adapt or integrate into the new world for the sake of peace, they refuse to see anything except what they lost.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.
