    ★★½

    An acquired taste. Points for (some) creativity, and taking on the pomposity of fine dining. Overall, not much happens though.

    ★★½

    I think my biggest problem with the concept is the lack of scale. Everything takes place between a few groups of people, is just a series of battles between them. I hoped for more world-building to show how we go from the end of the world to ‘the planet of the apes’. I think each film should have skipped ahead 50 years or so, and dropped the Caesar storyline. Basically do what ‘kingdom’ did, only better.

    Better than expected, or than  the first 20 mins promised. Got some genuine LOL moments from me.

    Favourite moment is McAdams waving a gun she thinks is fake In a bad guy’s face. The way he says ‘JESUS!’ Got me good

    Bleak, terrifying, authentic. Loved every second of it. Should be a bigger deal than it is
