The CGI on the apes was really good, it shows that 2024 CGI actually has the potential to be better than 2005 cgi for once. Other than that the movie stunk, stick with the first trilogy, it completed the apes story very well, leading to the 1960s original. This just feels like an obvious cash grab.

We thought it was going to be a war between man and ape. The war ended up being humans obliterating themselves like retards. There was literally enough land and resources in the new world that humans and apes never had to interact. That was before the virus mutated further.
War ended with a prelude to the next story, the apes setting to build a society free of intelligent human interference.
I guess. The Caesar trilogy is basically the story of how we got to the talking ape Earth of the original. IMO, those movies told that story well, with a definitive beginning and end. At this point, I think we get the picture, and this movie just felt like an overly long filler story without much of a reason for existing, other than money.

What I mean is, when the first installment (Rise) came out in 2011 ppl said the same thing(s).
Do we really need this? This is an obvious cash grab. The original can’t be outdone. Etc.
Valid points, but (I think) in this case the material proved itself.
This fourth movie is the 1968 movie but w. a backstory; it’s been pretty cool seeing how we got here.
It was good. It had a lot to accomplish having to sort of start from scratch and re-establish the world at this point. So considering that I think it did pretty well. I think I would still rank it just below all the others in the previous trilogy, though.
1. DAWN
2. WAR
3. RISE
4. KINGDOM
I was a little surprised that so many [SPOILER - highlight to read]: humans could talk. I guess there's probably more films planned to explain how they disappear or become more rare, perhaps?
