You might have thought it was done with War. But the franchise is back. With a new story taking place three hundred years later. This would actually work as a jumping on point though because it does get some exposition in during the opening credits. Which should be more than enough to bring anyone up to speed. I have never been that into the original versions. I saw the Tim Burton one because I like his movies. But I don't have a copy of it in my collection. And it takes a lot to make that happen. I didn't get round to watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes till three years after it came out. But I liked that and Dawn. Although I thought War underwhelmed. As it didn't have enough War in it. Even so, right from the off this had me. We meet Ape Noa, who is trying to live up to his father's expectations and takes risks as a result. The cgi and the movement in these scenes really grabbed me from the off. It's also good how the ape language is done. Speaking not quite like humans would. Things happen and he is soon on a quest where he meets another Ape and human Nova [Freya Allan. Ciri from the Witcher. Whom I didn't recognise till looking at imdb later]. And this takes them into the territory of Proximus Caesar. An Ape who wants something..... This does keep it's focus on a select number of characters, which does allow for them all to develop nicely and get some great character arcs. It's also got a very decent plot which does keep you interested to see how things will turn out. There are some good twists and turns along the way, none of which I saw coming. The visuals do remain great throughout. As does the realisation of the Apes. Some scenes do give a real sense of wonder to the viewer. It does some great world building also. Caesar is now something of a mythical figure, and how he is remembered has an interesting effect. The ending worked for me. Let's just say it would allow for more in this world. And I hope it happens. Really liked this. I hope more follows. There's nothing during or after the end credits that is essential. The dvd has the following language and subtitle options: Languages: English. Castilian Spanish. Catalan Spanish. Subtitles: English. Danish. Finnish. Norwegian. Swedish. Castilian Spanish. The dvd goes straight into the main menu when loaded. It has no extras at all.

It’s difficult to believe that this franchise still has pulling power after all these years. Caesar, the original ape from the first film is long gone. Apes have become the dominant race with numerous clans and fighting. Humans have become largely inarticulate and are subjugated. The theme of this film is an attempt to find a way that apes and humans can live amicably. It has a cohesive plot and the effects and make up/CGI are absolutely stunning. I was a big fan of the original series with Roddy Macdowell and didn’t think a reboot would have the same impact. But with advances in technology, the film industry is able to create phenomenal landscapes and scenes, way beyond the often staged and set backdrops of the early films. This film follows the essence of the original story,but takes it right into the 21st century. It works well as a standalone but if you’ve missed earlier films in the reboot series, they’re well worth watching first to see how the strain has developed. A stunning production and I enjoyed every minute and will happily watch again.

Planet Of The Apes has always had it's ups and downs as a film series. This new film, Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes is one of the best in the series, and definitely one worth watching. I bought the 4k Blu-ray, and it looks and sounds absolutely amazing.

Great quality and value for money

Overall great product. International version works great on my US 4K Blu-ray player. The picture and sound are outstanding.

very good

Good movie

The 4k presentation of the movie is wonderfully vibrant and the sound is perfect even in quieter scenes where on DVD presentations is struggle to hear them without subtitles. It was delivered reliably and on time thanks to the seller using auspost a reliable courier service. The steelbook it's self is absolutely beautiful the pictures don't do it justice I knew it would look nice but once I opened the package I was blown away. With this being another thought provoking instalment to such a heart felt franchise it's definitely worth paying that bit extra for the 4k steelbook.

Not as good as the others
