The slow planet of the apes
This sequel to Planet of the Apes takes place many years after the previous films. It has good visual effects and beautiful natural settings, the main problem with this film is that it is very slow to the point of causing sleep while watching it, I feel that they lengthened the story a lot, where they included characters that had very short periods of participation as per For example, the old ape and the human who worked with the bad gorilla. Just as the main human character was not as relevant. Maybe if they had told it in less time, it would have attracted more attention, probably if it will have a sequel since it has had very good box office. - raynellmcgee - 11 June 2024
No No No!
If you loved the last three movies, you'll hate this one. This film lacked meaningful action sequences. Rise, Dawn, and War set the pace with Caesar, however, this new film failed to create characters that had depth. Also, the villian wasn't a true villian in my opinion. He was obnoxious and wanted to gain tech for the apes. His tribe kidnapped apes to bring them back to an ape kingdom to do what exactly? When Noah found the missing apes, they seemed to be doing just fine (teaching, etc.). They weren't enslaved (like in War) imo they weren't living bad enough to need to be saved. Also, what was Mae's purpose? The main Ape needed information from her, but what was his end game plan? Mae clearly wasn't cooperating and instead of torturing her or locking her up for her defiance, she was allowed to wander around?? Ok, this is just me, but I liked when the prior movies had more human interactions. Watching the apes talk for the whole movie was a tad odd. When Ceasar spoke, his voice commanded the audiences attention. We hung onto every word. Even Koba choose his words carefully and was the perfect villian. The audience understood and at times empathized with Kobas views. The dialouge in this film lacked conviction and urgency. Less would have been more. Also, we're supposed to believe that as advanced as these apes were that they've never seen a zebra? Like what? They're both native to the same continent, so why where the apes so shocked? I left the theater with so many unanswered questions.
