A scene from ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’
The title is a bit strange – a state would logically be in a planet, not the other way around? That’s okay, because, when one is dealing with a story of talking, civilized apes and dumb, wild humans, one shouldn’t worry about semantics. Moving on, Wes Ball has delivered an absolute corker with this 10th The film takes place in the Planet of the Apes universe. I think the title suggests some kind of franchise.

kingdom of the planet of the apes It takes place 300 years after the epic battle that killed Caesar, the chimpanzee who led a rebellion against humans. Apes are at the top of the food chain, while humans live in the shadows as silent scavengers.

sexy scenes of kingdom of the planet of the apes Worth the ticket price alone. Then there are the breath-taking action sequences, with gravity-defying jumps and incredible CGI that make the apes look supernaturally real. There is something awe-inspiring about the way nature has reclaimed itself, draping once-proud glass and steel buildings with plants and vines. The terminal at LAX, where Raaka lives, and the deserted naval base with so many giant battleship skeletons in it look like post-apocalyptic Angkor Wat. The moss-lined telescope at the observatory simultaneously obscures and brightens the light.

with Empire…Ball would have made sense to start a new trilogy, acting as a bridge between Caesar’s story arc and the original planet of the Apes Starring Charlton Heston in 1968. While the French novelist, Pierre Boulle, used Cold War anxieties for his science-fiction satire.

When a film mesmerizes one with action and thrill and also makes one think, it is a winner in every way. Now we just have to look forward to the further adventures of Mae, Noah and friends, supported by exciting CGI and stunts.
