The first reactions have surfaced for director Wes Ball’s upcoming film Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Several critics have already had the opportunity to see the movie, and it looks like they are loving it it delivers!
The movie is described as being “magnificent”, “breathtaking”, and “beautifully crafted”. However, some are also saying that the pacing is a bit off.
I’ve been really excited about this movie and it’s nice to see that people are enjoying it! It looks like this movie is going to give us a great and exciting adventure story!
The movie is set “several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows.
“As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.”
The cast includes Owen Teague (It), Freya Allen (The Witcher), and Peter Macon (The Orville). The script for the film comes from Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds), Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), and Patrick Aison (Prey).
It also co-stars Travis Jeffery (Unbroken), Neil Sandilands (Sweet Tooth), Sara Wiseman (One Of Us Is Lying), Ras-Samuel Welda’abzgi (The Clearing), Lydia Peckham (Cowboy Bebop), and Kevin Durand.
