The Planet of the Apes franchise has left a lasting impression on generations of movie-lovers and a strong legacy in the film industry. The reboots, from the early to late 2010s, were worthy successors which related the story of Caesar in exhilarating and thoughtful ways.
Right off the bat, I just need to emphasise how the CGI used is utterly stunning. If “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” was credited with having ground-breaking motion capture for its time, then “Kingdom” is several steps above that; from the digital apes’ wet fur to the light peeking through the cracks of a ruined building, this film is able to seamlessly blend the real with the digital.
Alongside the main plot of rescuing his family, the scriptwriters have also been fiddling with another subplot where Noa is constantly conflicted and has an internal struggle the more he learns about life on earth before the Simian Flu. At the end, we can still see him struggle with what he has learned, but continue to live a normal life despite what has happened, something that I’d love to see explored in the future.
Setting up for a sequel isn’t bad; in fact, it’s quite intriguing, as they open plenty of narrative threads partway through the film that I do like to see in future installments. However, they are opening several more plot lines than they are closing by the film’s end, which is frustrating not because the film is not giving us answers, but because the answers they are providing are unsatisfactory, to say the least.
