Bravo! Brave! Bravissimo!

This series is back up on its feet n knuckles again after what I personally felt was an underwhelming close to the trilogy.

The fourth installment of the rebooted planet of the apes franchise comes in swinging and climbing into a world entirely dominated by animated apes.  

Some second act pacing issues aside, Kingdom delivers with deliciously textured animation, relateable (and some hateable) characters, and a certain something that sci-fi action is often lacking in the post superhero Hollywood wastehole: it’s got a fully formed third act and a dope villain!

Talk soon,

The pace, and style and unparalleled craft of the animation is so impressive and exhilarating that it’s easy for me to only talk about it, but honestly the acting/blocking and dramatic swing of this story felt not only real but POWERFUL like watching the actors in a black box theater. It’s hard to describe or discuss the shear visual thrill of Across the Spiderverse it really has to be experienced.
