Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

The saga of apes and humans continues, with this episode jumping forward several generations, with the apes dominant and humans consigned to a marginal existence. A new ape steps forth to grasp power, just as a young ape begins a journey across the kingdom that will see the scales from his eyes about the relationship between humans and apes.

This new entry in the modern Planet of the Apes series bears all the hallmarks of the previous entries in the series – jaw-dropping motion capture, ambitious and often wordless set pieces, as well as searching allegory about humans place amongst animals – but with ever greater distance from the ‘planet’ as we know it. Top flight blockbuster entertainment.
