A young ape embarks on a voyage that will cause him to doubt all he has been taught about the past and make decisions that may shape the future for both apes and humans, many years after Caesar's rule.
 
War is a cold and desolate depiction of man's final struggle against an expanding ape empire, while Dawn is a gritty and terrible survival thriller. Continuing in this spirit, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is an exciting action-adventure set among the collapsing wreckage of human civilization. Though there are still traces of Caesar and evidence of Andy Serkis' outstanding work on the series, this is mostly the narrative of Noa (Owen Teague), an Eagle Clan ape who has to save his family after a cataclysm razes everything in his path.
 
Noa travels on this adventure with companions. He encounters Raka (Peter Macon), a sage orangutan who imparts wisdom from Caesar and important details on the past of apes and human relations. Over time, Caesar's lessons have been corrupted and perverted, and most apes no longer understand their original significance. Despite his best attempts to close the gap between humans and apes, Caesar's name is now associated with terror and brutality that drives a rising kingdom into mythology and lunacy.
 
On the other hand, Nova/Mae (Freya Allan) has her mythology. The person whom Noa and his clan refer to as "Echoes" is not the same as the enigmatic one. Rather than loincloths a la Palaeolithic, she's wearing trousers and a tank top. She exhibits an intellectual interest that Noa has never seen before. She also has the ability to speak, which humans have not had since the evolution of the simian virus.
 
Everyone has a distinct vision of the future, but Proximus Caesar's goals are particularly unclear until they are revealed in a truly unexpected way. It's an uncommon occurrence for a company to conceal the majority of the shocks in the second part of a film from trailers, but Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' decision to keep many of them is pleasant. We are talking about a voyage that takes place hundreds of years after the war for the Planet of the Apes, so mythology is baked into the concept. It strikes a natural balance between spectacle and the extension of mythology.

Unlike Dawn of the Planet of the Apes or war for the Planet of the Apes, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes doesn't aim to punch you in the stomach and isn't as emotionally deep. As the Planet of the Apes series moves into its post-Caesar, Disney-owned period, it remains remarkably stable. It's a wise decision to move the story forward as it enables screenwriter josh Friedman to switch to an engaging adventure mode while director Wes Ball can show a drastically altered planet. Even though this is a separate Planet of the Apes, it yet seems to belong with the other installments.
