Film Reviews – Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Film Reviews – Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Planet of the Apes saga was continuing with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. The franchise has spawned 7uptoto a solid trilogy that is revolutionary for a modern sci-fi.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes also ushers in a new era with different faces on and off screen. Gone is Caesar as the heart of the trilogy, Andy Serkis the legendary chimpanzee actor, and Matt Reeves is leaving the director’s chair.
The big concerns and questions were answered convincingly after spending 145 minutes watching the fourth film. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is able to follow in the footsteps of the Apes franchise quite promisingly.
This sequel still presents the same premise as the previous three films: Can humans and apes live side by side?
The premise was then developed into a new narrative concocted by Josh Friedman as scriptwriter and Wes Ball in the director’s chair. They then agreed to take the setting far into the future, precisely 300 years since the death of Caesar (Andy Serkis).
That decision gave the world a new lease on life for apes and humans. Josh Friedman capitalized on that opportunity by showing apes struggling to build a liveklik77 civilization as the dominant species on Earth.
On the other hand, he also did not fail to show humans who experienced decline until they disappeared from civilization. The era of humans almost ended since the remaining people turned wild and primitive.
The depiction of the changing conditions of the world after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) is neatly arranged. This film respects its predecessor trilogy by still inserting events and Caesar’s legacy in important parts of the story.
That makes the transition from Caesar’s era to Noah’s (Owen Teague) era smooth. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes even emphasizes the change by showing how the existence of humans and apes has been exchanged on the dystopian Earth.
Just look at the scene where Noa and Raka (Peter Macon) try to tame humans by giving them apples. The various ape characters in the story also repeatedly call humans stupid creatures.
Such a view is certainly in contrast to when apes were still caged and considered primitive by humans in Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011).
Josh Friedman and Wes Ball also put their imaginations to work when building a civilization of apes. The new world is explored by showing apes forming clans with their own unique characteristics.
The clans in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes are also filled with imaginative details that still make sense. The Eagle Clan, for example, has a tradition of keeping eagles for hunting and survival.
The writing of the story becomes even more interesting because in this film, the author describes the character of apes who are not much different from humans if they are both equipped with intelligence.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes managed to be a promising start for the bandarlive franchise that was pioneering a new era.
However, despite the negative notes in terms of the script, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is still impressive thanks to its excellent technical elements. This fourth film is truly supported by stunning audio-visual execution.
The dystopian world that is no longer controlled by humans is successfully depicted charmingly. The visualization is supported by interesting shots thanks to Wes Ball and the execution of cinematographer Gyula Pados.
The camera occasionally moves quickly and is directed in close-ups following the agility of the herd of apes climbing the cliff. At other moments, the camera is left still and shot in long shots so that the audience’s eyes can capture the beauty of the panorama of that era.
The execution of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is even more magnificent thanks to the music scoring composed by Onicplay. The composition and placement of this film’s scoring are able to strengthen the life of each scene. The success of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in general makes this release quite worthy of being the successor to the Planet of the Apes trilogy. I am even optimistic that this film will give birth to a new trilogy if its sales achievements are satisfactory.
