Alright, here’s the rundown on this movie. It’s been a long time since Caesar, the first smart ape leader, died. Now, apes are mostly in charge on Earth, though they haven’t exactly built anything high-tech. Noa lives in a laid-back community that makes its home around these old, overgrown power line towers. Her group’s thing is training eagles. They swipe eagle eggs and raise them so they’ll listen to ape songs.

But then trouble strikes when they’re attacked by this military-dictator place led by Proximus Caesar. They’ve got these electric weapons an imprisoned human whipped up for them. They’re hunting for a young woman who ends up escaping with Noa and this wise old orangutan named Raka, who kind of acts like he knows all about what Caesar stood for.

So here’s where it gets interesting: It turns out not all humans have completely lost their smarts because of a virus—it’s hit most but not everyone. Proximus is trying to get info from these remaining clever folks to beef up his weapons and make sure humans don’t snatch back control one day.

In the end, you might even feel like rooting for Proximus against these sneaky humans—they’re in a tight spot now which kinda excuses their behavior…but also makes things complicated as we wonder what’ll go down in future sequels!
There’s this movie that’s meant to launch a new trilogy, kind of like *Planet of the Apes*. But here’s the catch—it drags on for a full two hours and twenty minutes to set things up. And honestly, it’s loaded with clichés, heavy-handed symbolism, and some seriously awkward dialogue.

The main problem? It’s all about the rhythm—or lack thereof. You know how in those Matt Reeves flicks when apes started talking slowly and awkwardly? Yeah, it’s kinda hard for them to string a sentence together without missing words. Back then it kinda worked because humans were around too, keeping things moving along. But in this movie? It’s almost all apes having these stilted conversations.

Then there’s this plot with falconry involving eagles which—surprise—isn’t just random background noise. It seems pretty pointless most of the time but ends up being crucial by the end. If you see them in action at the start, you already know those eagles are gonna swoop in dramatically later on.

And then there’s Raka, an orangutan who talks better than the rest but… honestly gets stuck in that infamous “bury your gay” trope where LGBTQ characters often meet grim fates for no clear reason other than to make a statement or something like that. It’s a bit messy on that front too.

Alright, so the movie’s got this girl named Nova, hunted by some monkeys, and she’s played by Freya Allen—yeah, the same actress who plays Ciri in “The Witcher” series. Nova is kind of a mystery. She’s pulled between different loyalties and even goes to some extreme lengths that catch everyone by surprise, especially a guy named Noa.

Now, speaking of Noa—he’s not as deep or badass as Caesar from the other movies. He’s more of a country kid facing off against an empire with the help of a wise mentor. Think Luke Skywalker on a hero’s journey, but without any major plot twists.

Wes Ball gave us some cool action scenes and these cities that have all turned into overgrown ruins look kinda awesome. But sometimes, the story logic doesn’t quite add up and there are moments that feel unnecessarily dramatic. For instance, towards the end there’s water rising for no real reason—it just keeps going up like crazy when it really shouldn’t.

Yeah, it’s like he wanted to compete with James Cameron’s epic “Avatar: The Way of Water,” but let’s be honest, he’s no match for Cameron there. Even with these hiccups though, you’re left wondering how this long-running saga will keep evolving in future films once they pick up speed again.
“Ordo” is about this guy, Ordo, whose life suddenly turns upside down when he discovers a huge family secret. He’s living a pretty quiet and ordinary life until he gets hit with some news that shakes things up big time. It’s like finding out you’ve been living in one of those plot twists from a soap opera! The movie takes you on Ordo’s journey as he tries to deal with his past and figure out what it means for everything he thought he knew. Expect plenty of drama and moments that’ll make you think, “Wow, really didn’t see that coming!” It’s all about wrestling with identity and family ties when life throws you a curveball.
