‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ Brings Forth A New Reign

‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ continues the franchise's thought-provoking commentary on humanity — and Reggie “The Reel Critic” Ponder shares his thoughts on the new film. Directed by Wes Ball, the film opens to a newly-emerged power dynamic with the apes, once subjugated, reigning supreme over the humans. It follows the struggle for power and freedom as Proximus Caesar asserts dominance, and humanity grapples with its new reality. The film offers a captivating exploration of societal dynamics and the human condition, and Ponder says it's a worthy addition to the franchise. The film hit theaters on May 8.
