Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes “Review”

Super non spoiler review. This movie offers so much exploration and discovery I want you to all enjoy the ride before you going into this masterpiece.

I’ve been holding off watching the “legacy” series for after having seen this movie and after coming out I’m super excited to see what’s to come along with find out easter eggs planted in this feature. I love the modern day trilogy based on Caesar. The first is a perfect movie with the sequels being very close with a 9.5 for the second and a 9 for the third title personally.

My interest in this new addition was risen by the fact that Director Wes Ball will be directing the Legend of Zelda movie next. With that I’ll be splitting this review into two reviews for that purpose. One going over this film as a Planet of the Apes title. The second being that of my trust for Wes Ball in creating an epic Zelda movie despite the obvious concerns how bad a live action Zelda could be when we just got such a good Mario Animated title last year.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes “Feature Review”

This 4th installment of the modern era of Planet of the Apes shows so much respect to the Caesar trilogy. Expanding on Caesars teachings and continues to develop and explore those teachings from two different perspectives from the same lessons.

I watched Kingdom with a BIG fan of the originals and the franchise as a whole. He had an incredible time watching this movie and was picking up easter eggs from the legacy series which I’m excited to explore over this coming week.

Introducing us to our new lead Noa taking over many generations down the line from Caesar in the previous installments. We’re introduced to such an expansive and beautiful world. It felt like Assassins Creed Origins with Noa and the companion to his clan their trusted Eagles.

There’s so much varied tones and elements within this movie my movie going experience was like going to a theme park and running wild through all the areas getting on roller coasters and seeing all there is to see.

There’s so much that the trailers kept back on (Great Job! 20th Century Studios) that I want you to explore from here. Honestly if you enjoyed the Caesar trilogy what are you waiting for? Go have an epic time watching this 9/10 spectacle feature. If you’re new to this franchise then welcome. You can join here and explore so much content from Caesar’s origins to the legacy series set way way way past this point in time.

Will there be more? I sure hope so! What time period will be next? That’s a question for the team that continues this series toward the legacy series of movies. I kind of want it to end as the first film starts but it sure would be nice to see the legacy movies done with current day cameras and technology.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes “Wes Ball Zelda Review”

This movie felt like Assassin’s Creed Origins meets Last of Us. The world building and exploration was spot on for Zelda titles like BoTW & ToTK. It can also work with smaller environments like Gerudo Valley & Kokiri Forest.

So many shots in my head were replacing Noa with Link or even imagining Princess Zelda is certain shots depending what story they end up going with. The flawless integration with the Apes, humans and the environments was truly breath taking and can easily be seen adapted to work with The Legend of Zelda.

The music has already been written for Zelda and adapts to the story telling and visuals. I feel LoZ is in good hands with Wes Ball and hope his team is as strong as the team that supported him on this epic feature.
