A human-made virus increased apes' intelligence and gave them the ability to speak, but it did the opposite for humans. One of the apes led them to prosperity. His name was Caesar, but he died many generations ago. Today, the Eagle Clan is a close-knit group that will celebrate the bonding ceremony at sunrise. Noa, urged by his mother, runs to his father, Koro, with his eagle egg. Noa found it in the highest nest with a strenuous climb. Koro is proud but smells a unique scent on Noa's blanket. Noa admits an Echo - their name for a human - took his blanket, but Noa retrieved it. Koro demands to know if Noa went into the valley. Noa truthfully says no because the valley is forbidden. Noa relaxes with his friends before the bonding.
Noa catches an odor coming from a tent and investigates. He finds a female Echo hiding inside and scares it away. The Echo charges past him and breaks his egg. He needs it for the ceremony. So, he travels into the forest to get a new one. Walking along the river, he finds the bodies of several apes he knew. He hears the Coastal Clan riding on their horses and hides. They use electrified weapons to subdue and kill their adversaries. They see Noa's horse in the woods, shock it, and follow it to the Eagle Clan.
Noa hurries home to warn the others, but it's too late. Proximus, leader of the Coastal Clan, had his army attack the Eagle clan and take them prisoner. Koro and Noa free Koro's eagles before battling Proximus, but Proximus defeats them. Noa wakes up in the morning. The Coastal Clan killed Koro and stole the Eagle Clan. Noa travels through the valley and vows to bring them back. Noa will learn the truth about Caesar, the Echos, and Proximus's greatest desire. Proximus is hunting the female Echo because she is the key to the evolution of his Kingdom of Apes.
This latest Planet of the Apes installment has mesmerizing graphics, heart-warming laughs, and a captivating storyline (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). The plot slows when Noa uncovers Promxius's plan and meets Raka. Raka is a wise elder and original disciple of Caesar. The writers use this meeting to give Noa time to learn about the lost ape culture and the height of human intellect. Also, they quietly slip today's issues throughout the film. Don't get confused. This film occurs several generations after Caesar died. So, the Apes lost or misunderstood their history and Caesar's doctrine. One thing Apes and Humans want is knowledge. It's the key to their survival, but can they coexist? This plot point is the movie's standout. Planet fans should keep their eyes and ears open for a few easter eggs. And there aren't any post-credit scenes, but the movie leaves room for another film.
I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars
Apes falling from the sky - Raka
Noah! - Mae
Careful, son. We are his now - Dar
I will bring them home - Noa
I am Caesar - Proximus
