Planet der Affen: New Kingdom

This movies is basically a passage preparing for the next one. It starts at one point and leave us at the same point.

Okay they are interesting things, but in the end we are looking at the story of Indigenous people getting overrun but modernisation. And just like every other movie of the genre there is an happy ending.

Which in this context does not progress the story.

There are many many many things they could have done to save the story. But they were either afraid or got controlled out of it.

I do recognise amazing work on the visuals, which is why I compare this one to avatar. Good visuals but empty story. And it might actually be avatar 2 . A shell movie using the previous one to sell and trying to be a filler for the next one...
