Many years after the reign of Caesar, a young ape goes on a journey that will lead him to question everything he's been taught about the past and make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.
The Planet of the Apes has never been your usual blockbuster franchise. Since Rise, the movie series crafts deeply philosophical characters that read like a Greek tragedy, always combined with jaw-dropping visual graphics and plots that refuse to cop out with lazy expositions and cliche dialogue. Not only that, it has cemented actor Andy Serkis' industry-changing work in motion capture performance as the benchmark it deserves. With Kingdom, however, it's time to pass on the baton to a new generation as Owen Teague (It series) takes on the lead role of a daring yet uncertain young chimpanzee, Noa. What has always made this franchise so successful is its focus on the apes as protagonists, not humans, who are regaled to supporting cast. Kingdom is no exception, as it dives deeper into philosophical questions of humanity, mercy and legacy.
