Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

 


      And a new trilogy begins...set "generations" after Caesar and the last film, this story has all new characters and is the first in a reported three film story.

       It stars Owen Teague, Kevin Durand, Peter Macon, Lydia Peckham, Travis Jeffrey, Freya Allan, Dichen Lachman, and William H. Macy.

       The screenplay by Josh Friedman is surprisingly good, balancing thoughtful drama with exciting action and some interesting surprises. Director Wes Ball and his amazing effects team bring these apes, gorillas, chimpanzees, and one orangutan to incredible life. The motion capture and CGI work is stunning.

        If you are a fan of the series, you will not be disappointed. And if you have the chance, see it in IMAX. It looks and sounds tremendous.
