Noa (played by Owen Teague) appears in a still from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is riding the near-flattened ripples of its predecessors to the shore. The bad news is that without a central passion as much at its core — or, for the most part, many humans to rally against — its fourth entry has significantly less of a reason to exist.Noa appears in a still from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. The film is the least offensive of the reboot, but that's not saying much. Less than 10 minutes in, they tearily demanded we turn it off.
Proximus Caesar in a still from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Because here, Noa barely even interacts with humans — aside from one cowering, mud-covered woman named Nova — let alone hates them. By this point, they have been so thoroughly massacred they're viewed as near-mythic, yet pathetic, remnants of a former time.
There is its lost hero, Caesar, bent into log-line knots to try and literally eradicate humanity, while staying completely morally blameless. And in every movie is an ineffectual but pure human tagging along, doe-eyed, to prove there's some good in us, after all — if only we behaved more like those golly-gee animals close to the natural world., my deep hatred of these movies is not due to their direction — the plotting, cinematography and character work is actually usually quite strong.
