Strength is found in ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’
“Together strong!”
Ready yourself to be drawn back into the future of the Planet of the Apes as a new chapter of the story arrives in the colossal epic that is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Watch the all-new trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes below:
Here’s the official synopsis:
Nearly 300 years after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes, ape civilizations have emerged from the oasis to which Caesar led his fellow apes, while humans have regressed into a feral, primitive state. When the ape leader, Proximus Caesar, perverts Caesar’s teachings to enslave other clans in search for remnants of human technologies, Noa, a common chimpanzee, embarks on a harrowing journey alongside a young human named Nova to determine the future for apes and humans alike.
Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and 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.
As the follow up to 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is shaping up to be an utterly epic cinematic experience as audiences are drawn into the new struggle for supremacy of Earth between the apes and humanity. What we see here is the broadening of the Planet of the Apes narrative and an exciting new experience for audiences that will see them go on an incredible new adventure.
The CGI and animation involved in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes are utterly incredible to look upon and clearly indicate how powerful VFX is and how it is systematically placed within the narrative of the story. This technology powers and amplifies the performances of Owen Teague’s Noa, a young chimpanzee who embarks on his own Heroes Journey in order to bring balance to the order of this new world, and Kevin Durand’s Proximus Caesar, a brutal bonobo warlord intent on harnessing past human technologies to aid in his pursuit of ultimate power, and whose ferocity knows no limit.
