Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes REVIEW - NO SPOILERS

[@ozwarz]

Not sure were did you saw hints of a romance between Nos and Mae. There wasn’t any. 😅

[@adrianamontalvo7472]

And also the fact that the film stated he likes Soona, even Mae said it lol

[@katy2176-p3m]

@@adrianamontalvo7472 it's probably because they have more chemistry and are on screen together a lot more than noa/soona. the film seems to pick up on this parallel as you have the scene where noa has to choose between them and he struggles lol. it's more subtle but it's definately there.

[@hazelstardust]

This series is kinda underrated. Because sometimes even I forget about this series but when I am reminded about it I remember how good this series is.

[@MrOiManDudeGuy]

Grace is way off the mark mentioning that there was ANY sort of implied romance between Mae and Noa whatsoever. There wasn’t even an inkling of an implication that there even would be a romance…. Just because Noa is nice to Mae eventually doesn’t mean he has feelings for her and vice versa

[@adrianamontalvo7472]

And they made it very clear that he likes Soona, Mae asked him: "You like her". Also even in the end of the movie, they traveled together, like it was obvious

[@user-qq1fd4gh2y]

Exactly.

[@eddiep118]

This is grace we're talking about lol she has the worst read on just about every movie she sees

[@andromeda5414]

Right on the money. I have no idea where she got that from.

[@lunavioleta001]

I still ship it. It would be way more interesting than another boring ape with ape or human with human romance.

[@jameslacey5474]

No, go see it in a theater and help support theaters and the film itself.

[@C-Bee]

Sucks the marketing was weak but I’m glad the film is actually good. We’re doing a matinee on Sat in Dolby.

[@limoreshakar6686]

Enjoy 😊

[@pmpowalisz]

Marketing has to be weak these days for a movie to make the biggest possible profit, since much of the causal audience has abandoned causally going to the movie theaters. With this new reality the only way a movie is going to make a profit is if it is highly anticipated, in which case, there is not much point in a serious and expensive marketing blitz anyways. This means new IPs are going to have to have seriously reduced budgets to make it worth seeing if a sequel can become highly anticipated.

[@justafidemyself]

People should have never doubted Wes Ball :) What he did with the Maze Runner with SUCH a limited budget will always be mindblowing to me. Those movies look like 200$ pictures. Those 3 movies also don't feel as bloated or stretched out as other properties based on books, so I was pretty onboard with his directing skills from the getgo.

[@rosebud8416]

I don’t understand how anyone could see those movies and think there is a chance this would be bad. When I saw he was directing I new this was in safe hands.

[@chazharris]

Same! His directors commentaries on those films Blu Rays are great too!

[@Concepcion30]

I know everyone wants to forget Mark Wahlberg's 2001 Planet of the Apes. But if you'll recall in the final scene when Captain Davidson is trying to escape back to his time, he ends up traveling to another time where there is a civilization of apes that resembles our current time with cops ambulances and apparently their ape version of Abraham Lincoln. 😅

[@ingobernoble2678]

That actually scared tf out of me as a kid lol

[@JonJeremyTv]

Aperaham Lincoln

[@moreno999]

Read the novel the original movie is based on by Pierre Boulle, completely different from the movie with a cool twist ending also different from the movie

[@majorlazor5058]

The only redeemable part of that movie.

[@SilverScribe85]

"Should you see Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in theaters?" Survey says...HECK TO THE YES!

[@CHarr1991]

This was a very VERY good outing for this franchise. We just got back from a 12pm premium screen, and everyone had a wonderful time. I love Noah! I want more ! 😅

[@Rockstar-bq5fm]

Wes Ball directed the heck out of the Mazerunner films. Their nothing special but he made really watchable and entertaining films out of what is a young adult novels

[@andresbecerra1183]

“What if your dog not only turned to you and spoke, but wanted to have a philosophical discussion, disagreed with you, had its own agenda, and was effective?” Literally described that Rick and Morty episode.

[@TueSorensen]

Good movie. But it was never explained why Mae sought out Noa in the first place. Was she actually specifically plotting a rebellion against Proximus using Noa's clan?? Did she deliberately lead Proximus' gorilla general to Noa's valley?

[@eejeej6363]

When are the astronauts that were seen on the TV screen in the first movie, going into outter space, going to come back from space & see that apes have taken over?

[@ngin98]

I think grace is undermining how good dawn was

[@sonicsnake44]

You know Grace is all over the place with her takes.

[@ngin98]

@@sonicsnake44 yeah I feel she really undermines stuff she isn’t really a fan of like out yourself in our shoes feel grateful your favorite genre (comic book movies) are so popular & successful like let us enjoy this 😂

[@InfinitySquared79]

Kevin Durand has been a staple of Canadian television for a couple of decades, and he always plays great villains. Glad to see him getting a little Major Motion Screentime...

[@WrytnFool]

I've really enjoyed all the recent Apes movies, and I'll be seeing this on Friday!

[@brunobousquet1109]

I was bitten by a monkey when I was a child. One injection after school, for 50 days. That could’ve only happened to me.

[@deeonbrown]

That opening was EPIC!!!!!

[@EnterpriseGeek]

Nova is the original character from the 68 film right? the lost woman😮

[@sjoo8]

I have IMAX tickets for this this Friday and I cannot wait! My mom and I rewatches the first Ceasar movie last night and will do one per night till then.

[@yamiksus]

Seeing it tomorrow in Brazil!

[@ResonantJustice]

I’m super super super excited to check out the film this weekend!

[@DanielBulmer]

Tickets booked for the weekend, definitely hyped for this one!

[@stevensantos9572]

Sold. I was going to skip it but based on you're review I'm going to go and order my tickets for this weekend.

[@Freedomispower05]

After your post on Twitter I RAN watch the 1968 planet of the apes for the first time and wow I actually enjoyed it

[@abemeetswrld]

Haven’t seen kingdom yet but it’s hard to see this topping the last 3 entries. Maybe Rise but Dawn and War were so powerful capped off with great characters and story.

[@jmz8210]

Disney should use Planet of the Apes as an IP at Disney's Animal Kingdom. It shares a lot of the same themes of our relationship with nature, and as you mentioned does share some similarities with Avatar. Now with this film's glowing reviews (and hopefully good box office) Disney should take advantage of it

[@tewodrosgetachew7450]

Love from Ethiopia Grace❤❤❤

[@andym108]

The dog meme caught me so off guard😂😂

[@KindlingEffect]

01:48 _"Where are my testicles, Summer? They were removed, where have they gone?"_ - Rick and Morty, S1E2: _Lawnmower Dog_ 😅

[@dhruv9744]

Distant relatives not distant ancestors Grace. Our last common ancestor on the evolutionary chain has been extinct for millions of years.

[@dylantrost4471]

Grace, it’s the same movie whether it’s watched at noon or 8 pm…

[@Sanj1n]

Once I saw your first impressions in Twitter, I bought tickets for this weekend. 😊

[@AbefromAZ]

It’s a fine film but after seeing it I can confidently say that this is nowhere near Dawn and War. You could argue it’s better than Rise but watching Caesar’s origin was way more fascinating imo.

[@puspavelai8353]

The day a doggie finds out it was "loved" as man's best friend - a *phrase* not to be taken lightly...as it's for "loyalty and friendship" and being a *good listener!*

[@blended_blender]

Thank you for recommending an early matinee. Just watched the 11:30am local showing and loved seeing on the big screen. Appreciate your review Grace!

[@rmannayr2129]

WES BALL DID A GREAT JOB!

[@ColtIsCamp]

I’m excited to see this eventually maybe this weekend if I catch up for the rewatch

[@alienmoosestudios]

Oooooooh, thanks for sharing this review Grace!!!! 💥🤩💥🎥💥🍿💥 I am super excited to see this movie for sure. Have always enjoyed the Apes films...

[@brian.montero]

10:03 "I know some of you are like 'I liked Foundation' ....ehhhhhhhhhh" 🙄 Apple TV's 'Foundation' is a much different, but way better written and realized show than Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. Pretty sure Josh Friedman would rather be know for his work on Foundation than Terminator. Really surprised Grace even tries to compare the two and more surprised she believes Terminator is the "better" show!

[@Jgotmilk555]

Raka was my favorite character too!! I think he'll be back in future movies!!

[@geoffberesford]

Much thanks for the fascinating review, Grace! And for the matinee tip as well!

[@AnthonyPi1999]

Great review! And thanks for shouting out one of my all time favs - Sarah Conner Chronicles!!

[@zacpatsmith]

Grace, Foundation is the kind of story that would have you saying “it’s one of the best things I ever saw.” • It took me a few eps to get in, fully, and I didn’t think it was the kind of thing I would be into. • And yet you walk away wondering if you’ll ever see anything as brilliant as Foundation again. As soon as you watch it, you’ll wish you had watched it sooner.

[@ryanjstannard]

I loved this movie so much! My favorite of the franchise tbh.

[@LEOIAMLEOONYOUTUBE]

Imagine this movie also surprises us like Godzilla X Kong.

[@NeilEvans-xq8ik]

I love this franchise, and I feel like going to the movies!

[@BambamGogh]

My favorite on the franchise

[@zackarenstein6436]

Definitely outperformed expectations. Very much enjoyed this movie. It was simple and complex at the same time, very difficult to do.

[@rodrilover17]

I loved this movie. It did remind me of James Cameron work and alita battle Angel (produced by Cameron) joined the ranks of my fav sci fi

[@jjpros6287]

Definitely see it in theaters. The world building needs to be experienced on the big screen.

[@TechWeLove]

I'm seeing it on Thursday. ❤ AMC A-List.

[@RWM07001]

This looks epic. I can't wait.

[@xgalarion8659]

Kevin Durant! He's amazing in Lost. Humongous guy. Always made an impression on me. I saw him once in stargate too. He looked like a buff elon musk.

[@matthewstanley2627]

Gracey baby 👶! Going to see this movie 🎬 on Friday. Heard good things. Hope you enjoyed it. I know you had your doubts

[@al27mr]

Why was Sarah Connor chronicles cancelled btw?? I liked that show as far as I remember.

[@sonicsnake44]

Because not enough people were watching and it was an expensive show to make. I am also sad we'll never see season 3.

[@RecognizedJusty]

Excited to see it this weekend!

[@kbg12ila]

The trailers were amazing for this. I'm definitely seeing this!

[@resurgam75]

Not a cinema choice for me but I've really enjoyed the Apes movies so this is definitely on the radar.

[@wonderlanddreamer1021]

People, the movie is good. If it's something you think you will like, go watch it. The industry and theatres need butts in the seats

[@Adam-yf3ss]

The new Apes movie may not have hype but there were a lot of people at my 7pm advance Wednesday screening in a Texas suburb.

[@willjackson5885]

I just learned that humans and chimpanzees diverged around 5 million years ago, while horses and donkeys diverged 10 million years ago. So human-chimp hybrids should be completely possible…

[@Dfvill]

No, dont.

[@Alexander-vl1lg]

The reason it's not is because one of the evolutionary changes that happened is we got 1 less chromosome than they do so our 23 chromosomes could never mate with their 24.

[@dzibanart8521]

Nope, it is not about time. We could have diverged last week but if the changes are not compatible, inbreeding is not possible. It has to do more about the chromosome count.

[@laverdadescatolica5]

“… humans and chimpanzees diverged around 5 million years ago?” Huh? Were you there? 😀

[@Halbared]

Stalin tried it.

[@tomasarfert]

I really miss The Sarah Connor Chronicles!

[@TheRManProds]

I ENJOYED THE MAZE RUNNER FILMS!

[@NeilEvans-xq8ik]

I really admire you, Grace.

[@skybelowus_]

I really enjoyed this movie. Saw it twice already 😅

[@luckynyatlo9166]

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!!

[@obmarte3803]

I love the apes franchise, but I honestly care more about Wes Ball hitting it out of the park for more justification on his Zelda project.

[@KickstarterRadio1024]

Grace your bang on the money. The trailer put me off it BIG TIME and only just watched it on digital tonight. So happy it's part of the new triology and agree it's my favourite of all the films so far. #Humans4TheWin!

[@cptclown2110]

The Sarah Connor Chronicles is way underrated. Was so good.

[@melissacarter334]

Great review Grace, thank you 🎉❤

[@MR3DDev]

Already got my ticket for wife and myself, we love the trilogy.

[@morrgash]

The day when dogs become intelligent and can talk to us would be a glorious day, as a cat person I would love to talk to a dog 😁

[@PathOfRage]

Apparently Caesar's son didnt automatically inherit the throne 🙂? Curiius how that worked out 🙂...

[@sonicsnake44]

Its best not to think about it 😰

[@jhonrivera310]

I really enjoyed it at the cinema. I recommend it. It's fun to watch this kind of film every now and then.

[@briankelley1908]

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Review- As a person that believes that the first Planet of the Apes is a top ten movie of all time for SciFi I pretty much enjoyed all the sequels This movie features great acting and special effects but the speed of the movie is slow death. I appreciate that you don't have to see any of the prior movies to understand the movie. With that said, I think you may enjoy it more if you had not seen the others. I could write a 📕 on how many questions I have with instances and plot decisions on this movie. Due to the standard of the past films I have to lower the score for this even though there was some positives. A 6 out of 10 but to be honest I have no desire to sit through 2 plus hours of the movie again.

[@ToastyAvocado69]

I'm really happy for Owen Teague. He was the best part of that version of the Stand guy is a revelation

[@julioblase9861]

Grace, is there still some sign languages in the movie or are all the apes speaking now? Thanks

[@nadinekore6308]

I'm waiting to watch it on Disney +... with my kids... and I can't wait!

[@rjhemedes]

Apes and humans are not distant ancestors. We have a shared ancestor with apes, chimps and orangutans, but we are definitely distinct species.

[@brianrichards9242]

Chimps are apes. So are orangutans. Maybe you were thinking Gorillas?

[@sandal_thong8631]

Yep, but she was close enough that I got the gist.

[@Alkelly-hh6rv]

It’s the same reason why song writers, artists, painters, book writers authors, all have a pattern. The more they write, paint creates as time passes the more songs start to sound like previous songs. Book have the same patterns. Paintings look similar to previous drawings. One creator

[@skaven969]

I like that they added Owen Wilson to the movie poster, it needed star power to get me to watch it.

[@MJ-lp3zd]

Was looking forward to your review... Grace should we watch all the six previous movies to enjoy this?? Understand*

[@BeyondTheTrailer]

I don't think so!

[@Halbared]

How do you get to six?

Such disrespect towards Mark Wahlberg...

[@alexprinsrealestateagent1263]

I really don’t think this movie is going to do well at the box office. I don’t feel any excitement or hype for this movie. I think it looks too goofy. The apes are too human like when they talk. They are suppose to have their own way of talking. Yet, they are acting just like humans. It’s very jarring, and comes across silly.

[@Dr.LongMonkey]

Yeah I hate the apes seeming so human like. It looks like humans in a motion tracking suit, it doesn’t look like Apes. It’s like Cats

[@Halbared]

Mankind has been on top for 40,000 years. Imagine what it used to be like!
