In the latest addition to the iconic Planet of the Apes series, Wes Ball‘s “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” sequel takes viewers on a journey set in a future where apes reign supreme, and humans have retreated into the shadows.
The film is set several generations after the events of “War for the Planet of the Apes”. Many ape civilizations have emerged from the oasis where Caesar led his fellow apes, while humans have regressed into a feral, primitive state.
One ape leader, named Proximus Caesar, has perverted Caesar's teachings and is using weapons forged from lost human technology to enslave other ape clans and build his own empire.
Meanwhile, a young chimpanzee named Noa embarks on a journey alongside a human girl named Mae to determine the future for both apes and humans. Noa's journey will cause him to question everything he's been taught about the past and make choices that will shape the future.
The film promises to be an emotional and compelling continuation of the Planet of the Apes saga, exploring the aftermath of Caesar's legacy and the dynamic between the dominant ape civilizations and the diminished human population.
Starring Owen Teague as Cornelius, the son of Caesar, the movie promises a visually stunning and emotionally compelling story. As the franchise evolves into a new era, viewers are invited to delve into a world where choices made by both apes and humans will shape the future.
How do you think the dynamic between the ape clans and humans will unfold in this new chapter of the Planet of the Apes saga?
