#202 - Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes

Let's return not just to the cinemaaaaa, but to a franchise we first reviewed on the show a few years back. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the latest instalment in the iconic series, and follows on from the end of Caesar's journey hundreds of years in the future. This time Wes Ball takes over the big shoes left by Matt Reeves as he tells the story of new ape characters, and explores their evolving dynamics with the last surviving humans on Earth. The film unsurprisingly features visual effects so good that you forget you're watching totally simulated environments and characters. And that illusion is only further held up by the strong performances (both motion captured and in-camera). But despite it's impressive features, we did have some differing experiences with how engaging we found this new journey. But to find out if it was one ultimately worth taking, you'll just have to please bear with us through the intro. Timestamps ;)
