La Planète des singes : Le Nouveau Royaume

I really wanted to like this film, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. There are no characters who could compare to such an outstanding hero as Caesar. The main character was not impressive. The film does not offer anything particularly new, and I miss the unique atmosphere that director Matt Reeves created. The main antagonist could have been truly captivating and powerful, but he simply doesn't have enough screen time to showcase his potential and become something truly great. The plot felt predictable, and the dialogue lacked the depth and emotion that could have made the story more engaging. Overall, the film failed to capture the magic that made its predecessors so memorable.

Was so looking forward to this film even book my ticket in advance as I really enjoy this reboot series. However this one is really disappointing! While the cinematography and AI is absolutely phenomenal, the lead characters have far too human traits! And the human lead character, very disappointing & unbelievable, the casting of Freya Allan is really hammy, they obviously needed a Gen Z in the film. Too many holes in the plot, they filled up the film with stuff & missed opportunities to explore some scenarios in more depth. There was a great opportunity to give a nod to the original, when they were walking along the beach which they missed, (guess what I'm thinking)?. Perhaps it would have been better with a more focused storyline.

This movies is basically a passage preparing for the next one. It starts at one point and leave us at the same point.

Okay they are interesting things, but in the end we are looking at the story of Indigenous people getting overrun but modernisation. And just like every other movie of the genre there is an happy ending.

Which in this context does not progress the story.

There are many many many things they could have done to save the story. But they were either afraid or got controlled out of it.

I do recognise amazing work on the visuals, which is why I compare this one to avatar. Good visuals but empty story. And it might actually be avatar 2 . A shell movie using the previous one to sell and trying to be a filler for the next one...

This film continues the franchise's tradition of delivering thought-provoking and visually stunning sci-fi. The film shines with its impressive special effects and CGI, which bring the apes to life in a remarkably realistic way. The world-building is expansive, offering a fresh take on the franchise's post-apocalyptic setting that's both intriguing and immersive. The story introduces new layers to the apes' society and their conflicts, maintaining the series' hallmark of exploring complex themes through its characters.

The performances, particularly from the lead actors portraying the apes, are compelling, adding depth and emotion to their roles. The action sequences are well-choreographed and engaging, keeping the tension high throughout.

However, the film does stumble slightly in its pacing. Some parts of the story drag, and there are moments where the narrative feels overly familiar, relying on tropes from previous installments. Additionally, while the new characters are interesting, they don't always receive the development needed to make a strong impact.

Overall, this is a strong entry in the series that continues to captivate with its imaginative world and impressive visuals, even if it occasionally falls into predictable patterns. It's a satisfying watch for fans and newcomers alike, with enough to offer to keep the franchise's legacy alive.

I'm a big fan of all the planet of the apes, and they nailed this one. Usually when they start milking series like this, they come out bad, but with the amazing cinematography and great acting, it more than succeeded. Some movies just deserve to be watched on a big screen, and this is one of them. The movie had me intrigued, and interested in the storyline unlike a lot of other movies I've seen this year. I'm looking forward to what they will come up with after this, and I can assure you that I will be watching no matter what. Go grab a popcorn and enjoy the phenomenal graphics this movies has to offer! Godspeed.
