The Plot…<\/strong><\/p>\nThe planet has been ruled by apes for generations.\u00a0 Most apes live in small peaceful communities. Humans have lost the ability to speak. They survive in nomadic groups… not even organized enough to be called tribes.<\/p>\n
One ape, Proximus Caesar has proclaimed himself king.\u00a0 Proximus sends his warrior apes out to capture both apes and humans to be used as his slaves.\u00a0 When Noa, a young ape, returns home one afternoon, he finds his village destroyed.\u00a0 Proximus’ apes have killed or captured everyone.<\/p>\n
Noa sets out to find and free his family.\u00a0 Along the way he is joined by a wise orangutan named Raka and a human they name Nova.\u00a0 What they don’t know is Nova hides a secret.<\/p>\n
Their journey takes them to Proximus Caesar’s kingdom.\u00a0 They learn that Proximus is close to breaking into an ancient human facility.\u00a0 If he’s not stopped, Proximus will gain power to make him unbeatable.\u00a0 But what chance do Noa, Raka and Nova have against a kingdom of apes?<\/p>\n
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nI’ve been a fan of The Planet of the Apes<\/em> franchise since the original was released in 1968.\u00a0 There have been highs and lows, but I’m always along for the ride.<\/p>\nQuite a bit of time is used to set up Noa’s community life.\u00a0 I wish we could have gotten to Proximus Caesar’s kingdom sooner and spent more time there.\u00a0 I didn’t particularly care for Nova’s secret.\u00a0 It was kind of obvious and then when the reveal came there wasn’t much time to explore the ramifications.\u00a0 I guess THAT sets up the next sequel.<\/p>\n
