OPINION: REVIEW: ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ gives the series a royal return

 


understanding of what connects with viewers: when the characters experience a moment of triumph, their accomplishments are punctuated with a musical swell and the cymbal crash of gigantic waves; when they experience moments of defeat, the camera plummets downward with them. 

Visual effects-heavy tentpole films are more dime-a-dozen than ever, yes, but it’s hard to understate just how wonderful it is to live in a world where a computer-generated monkey can make a person feel so deeply. Though it may not quite stand shoulder-to-shoulder with its predecessors yet, “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is jam-packed with a love for the “Apes” series and blockbuster filmmaking as a whole, and it is the must-see movie of the year so far.
