Working on the VFX for this movie was working wise one of the best things I’ve done - Even got a credit 😄 thanks to the KF team for making entertaining content to get me through the long nights lol
The first is Rise because the ape rise up against the humans who wronged them. The second is Dawn because it's the beginning of a new age for the apes.
Anyone else get a "Horizon Zero Dawn" vibe in certain places in this movie? Climbing, jumping, training, and wondering through ruins of buildings and cities. Exploring old underground facilities.
Nick saying he wants a sequel that focuses on the human characters had me screaming “dear god please no”, we’ll get to the Beneath & Beyond Planet of the earth story telling where the apes become secondary. Love how Reeves & now Wes has made sure to flesh out the apes. This is their story.
The Maze Runner movies were very well directed and surprisingly large in scope and scale. I’d actually say that Wes Ball could probably make a Zelda movie better than many directors.
I feel like they missed the part of Proximus Caesar that shows he was willing to sacrifice apes for the sake of his own power. He basically forces the other clans to sacrifice themselves to try and open the door and then says without outright saying it that they have more to sacrifice to try and open it once again later on. He even says at one that he doesn’t care how many apes he must sacrifice to get inside. Anyway I loved this movie with the one major exception being that some of the humans not being infected felt like it was very forced for the sake of forcing some story stuff (I did enjoy the story stuff it just didn’t feel completely earned) also I guess them just saying “many generations later” wasn’t enough to help with that if they’d said straight up that it’s been 3 hundred years since Caesar and even gave us more explanation of how they avoided the virus for centuries it’d have made more sense to me.
I thought this was part of the old movies then heard Tim talk about how its doing in the box office and had to run in to pause. Always gotta watch the movie before the Kinda Funny review so I have context to argue with one of you in my head afterwards lol
I had a pretty great time watching it last night. I really enjoyed the worldbuilding and score. It did feel long but the pacing was pretty solid, except for maybe the end. It's consistently gorgeous/impressive with some amazing performances from the actors and VFX artists. The villain wasn't fleshed out quite enough, but what we got was good for plot motivation and worldbuilding etc. 8.5/10 maybe wgaf
The part where Mae and our main apes are exploring the bunker, she almost takes a more authoritative role, and it turns from her cooperating with them to her giving them orders.
Nick you’re correct on the water levels equalling out. Without pressure on one side that whole facility should not have flooded to the top, but hey the movie was great. Loving the reviews!
The planet of the apes titles are meant to pay respect to the old franchise that also used that naming convention. You guys would know that if you watched the originals
I loved it! I think it's a smart move for the franchise to give us a more YA-friendly chapter defined by action adventure. As long as they continue to make these movies with so much care, I'll be on board.
If there was no human in this movie I would have loved it still, i was all in on the ape politics and how they interpret Cesar’s lore and beliefs. Felt like it was Ape religion basically
I was a little lower on this movie than the team; however (having watched it last night), ranking-wise, I walked out of the theater mentally placing it where the crew landed in this review. Have a great day all!
Liked the opening, but was a bit worried after the egg scene - was cool but seemed very CGI and video gamey. Pleased to say that feeling was short lived and quickly foubd myself immersed and fully buying the animation. Some incredible sequences that felt very real, almost practical.
I hate the dragon/wyvern argument because these are made up creatures, theyre all dragons 😂 but I gotta disagree, 4 Legs + Wings be lookin dope, Monster Hunter has plenty of em
@@TheRealGarate lol I strongly disagree, but that's totally fine. I just feel like it's what some medieval peasant thought a big lizard would look like. A Song of Ice and Fire probably ruined them for me
Such a mistake putting all this content on one channel. I no longer subscribe to either channel despite being a diehard KF fan since you launched. I simply don't want my feed filled with so much gaming content as I don't care about it.
I just want to point out that I'm pretty sure the Caesar symbol is the shape of his window from the first movie.
Yeah they were not clear if they remembered that, but its 100% the window.
it is, and it's used as the ape's symbol for "home" in Dawn and War
It 100% is, a director confirmed it in an Interview
Did people not know this till now? I thought Rise made this super clear haha
Came here to say it😂🤣🤣

Man incredible stuff Brad! Absolutely phenomenal VFX so whatever role you played, little or large, you helped make a stellar movie
That's awesome! Great job to you & your team
The first is Rise because the ape rise up against the humans who wronged them.
The second is Dawn because it's the beginning of a new age for the apes.
PLEASE DO THE ORGINALS there were so many references from those in this movie which made it awesomeeeee !
I legit haven’t felt that much excitement walking out of a theater since Endgame. This franchise is special

That might be Andy's best In Review theme song, ever.
Illa, illa, illa, illa
I agreed
Dude in the yellow jacket gets it. This movie was bad ass
And the guy on the left he valid

I throughly enjoy 1 and 3 of that franchise
Fantastic series. I need a sequel to Kingdom!
The next 13 weeks of 13 Alien and Predator films could lead to nicely into Alien: Romulus…
THEY KEEP IGNORING IT and it makes me so mad 😂
Tam's Sailor Moon hoodie is amazing
VERY solid follow up to one of my favourite trilogies. Here's hoping we get another classic trilogy.
Proximus was a bad antagonist? Are you shitting me? He’s the best part of the movie the minute he enters it
Agreed I was disappointed he wasn't in more of the film
I love that the first word she shouted was "Noah!" Reflecting Caesar's first word "NO!"

I know Wes Ball is doing a Zelda movie, but why have I not seen anyone talk about how similar this movie was to Horizon Forbidden West?
Because that movie is unknown and nothing like this one
@@TheGalacticProphet-lf8bn? It’s horizon looking, especially the parkour scenes😂
Visually, it did remind me of Horizon
Because Kinda Funny hate Horizon, they shit on the series any chance they get plus only Tam and Andy even spent some time playing them.

Yeah I noticed that too, was like damn I think she’s gonna betray them
Hell yeah, love to see Tam back
You can hear Rakka’s breathing in the after credits scene.
My favorite part was when Nick said about owls, "I think they shit and poop out of the same hole like birds." Grade A content.
Also surprised y'all didn't see the homage to the time when Caesar first spoke when Mae screamed "NO-ah" as her first word.
100% disagree with the movie feeling 2.5 hours long. It flew by for me.
Also, Kingdom is planned to be the first in another trilogy of PotA movies.
W gonna see the new movie tonight in imax
Nick you’re correct on the water levels equalling out. Without pressure on one side that whole facility should not have flooded to the top, but hey the movie was great.
Loving the reviews!
I loved how they showed the doll from the 1968 film, that was some nice fan service and the movie was awesome overall.
Doesn’t William H. Macy’s character say, “I almost made it to the coast before…”?
The planet of the apes titles are meant to pay respect to the old franchise that also used that naming convention. You guys would know that if you watched the originals
Noah in this film is spelled Noa.
As in Nintendo of America
Wes Bell is direction Zelda.
Coincidence? Probably. 😂
So when are we getting a PotA game using the Horizon engine? Come on Guerrilla it works be perfect!
I loved it! I think it's a smart move for the franchise to give us a more YA-friendly chapter defined by action adventure. As long as they continue to make these movies with so much care, I'll be on board.
Should be seeing this at the weekend
All that talk of the overhead shot and comparing it to Jurassic Park when a film did it years before.
The original Planet of the Apes.

My “POTA” Reboot ranking:
1. Dawn (amazing)
2. Rise (really good/underrated)
3. War (good/slightly overrated)
4. Kingdom (good)
My ranking
1. Dawn (2014)
2. War (2017)
3. Rise (2011)
I think I agree with nick might be the second best of the modern trilogy
I’d like to see this movie! It sounds like a good one and I’ve enjoyed the previous modern entries as well as the old movies!
@30:00
what a wonderful review! 🗣️🗣️
My ranking is War > Dawn > Rise > Kingdom, I did like Kingdom but the original Trilogy is so special to me
Y'all always complain about movie length and it's getting really old, just like David Lynch says..."Who gives a shit". 🤦🏽
these people don't understand falconry
Feel the opposite the movie should have been longer based on the players involved.
I think we could of cut some time from the eagle egg hunt
The Maze Runner movies are alright but pretty meh adaptations of the books.
Catwoman is still the worst movie that's been in "In Review"
Yeah I didn't like this one. Glad y'all did tho!
More like Horizon Zero Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
We need to put this argument to bed. A wyvern is an anatomically correct dragon. If Wyverns aren't dragons, then dragons look stupid
I hate the dragon/wyvern argument because these are made up creatures, theyre all dragons 😂 but I gotta disagree, 4 Legs + Wings be lookin dope, Monster Hunter has plenty of em
@@TheRealGarate lol I strongly disagree, but that's totally fine. I just feel like it's what some medieval peasant thought a big lizard would look like. A Song of Ice and Fire probably ruined them for me
Was the old guy not Mark Hamill??
Lmao no, he's the dad from Jurassic Park 3. Also the dad from Shameless, and probably a few other things but thats where I always associate him with
Fargo
Also recently, the boss in the movie “Ricky Stanicky” lol

Feels maybe a bit early to release this
Then don't watch it yet?
It's not going anywhere 😅
7minutes of absolute garbage tht you just fast forward through before they talk about the actual movie. Yup. What youd expect of Kinda Funny
