Overview
Several generations in the future following Caesar's reign, apes are now the dominant species and live harmoniously while 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.
Saying this isn’t as good as the last trilogy would be to do it a disservice, as it is a marvellous new entry into the long running franchise that pushes it into new, yet familiar territory. Wes Ball present a marvellously realised future, and once more the Apes themselves are presented with effects that make you forget that they aren’t real.
A solid start to a hopeful new trilogy – I want to see more of this phase in the conflict between man and ape, and ape and ape.
