A Journey of Apes and Action: Is "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" Worth Your Time? Overall Review Upside: - Decent Special Effects: The visuals in "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" are certainly a treat. The special effects team did a commendable job. - Raka's Performance: Raka brings a remarkable depth to the film, adding layers of complexity to the character. - Exciting Action Scenes: The action sequences are thrilling and keep you on the edge of your seat. Downside: - Lack of Continuity: Despite starting with an homage to Caesar and the previous trilogy, the film struggles with continuity. The unlikely scenarios unfolding 300-plus years later are left unexplained, making the plot hard to believe. - Poor Writing: Calling this film lazy is being generous. The writers and creators seem to have missed the mark, resulting in a disjointed and lackluster narrative. - Lack of Depth and Justice: The key players in this Disney production, mostly of European heritage, fail to bring a sense of justice, clear direction, or reality to the film. - Confusing Ending: The final scenes, intended to spark intrigue and anticipation for a sequel, instead create more plot holes and confusion. Summary: Watch "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" if you're looking for a long escape with impressive special effects and exciting action scenes featuring our agile, four-limbed friends. However, if you seek a meaningful and coherent storyline, you might be better off revisiting the past trilogy, watching the Olympics 2024, or engaging in activities that bring real value to your life. Create, plant, meditate, on your special journey and gifts in this life by making this planet livable for yourself and your loved ones now and for the next generation. PS: I would have given it two stars instead of one if there were fewer paid reviews!
