Everything GREAT About Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes! 

Watch me react to Everything Wrong With Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes on Nebula! nebula.tv/videos/cinemawins-cinemawins-reacts-to-cinemasins-eww-kingdom-of-the-planet-of-the-apes

What I love about Raka's (hopefully not) last words of "Together strong" weren't just for apes. I feel a big part of this trilogy will be humans and apes having to learn to coexist for both species to survive.

This was a pretty good movie. I don’t think it tops War for Planet of the Apes but that movie had a completely different tone. So glad they added Ceaser’s funeral in the beginning.

Fun fact: apparently Caesar's face looked different in the opening of this from how it looked in the prior trilogy - potentially to avoid paying Andy Serkis for likeness residuals. However, it could also be seen as a sign that, shortly after his death, Caesar is ALREADY being misinterpreted from the ape he truly was.

One thing i ALWAYS appreciate about the New POTA films is the dedication to CGI and motion capture in general. Not once does it look off. The filmmakers took their time and it shows.

I think it's an awesome detail that most apes have completely forgotten their society's ancient history and the few that haven't are either missing the finer details or have completely twisted it to suit their own agenda. It makes total sense for a society where it's main tool of preserving history would realistically be by word of mouth

One thing I love about the scene when Mae speaks for the first time is that it also mirrors when Caesar speaks for the first time, it even sounds like she’s saying “No” the same way he did, but she’s saying “Noah.” Wonderful parallel and reversal.

Mae really has a lot of potential in this new trilogy. I love the grey morality presented with her. She clearly cares enough about Noa to ask him cute personal questions (like his crush on Soona) and say goodbye at the end. But she’s also so bought into whatever propaganda she was fed by humans that she can’t break away from it easily. So it’s up in the air what will become of her and Noa and I think that’s a really fascinating hook for this series.

I’m surprised no one pointed it out. The scar Noa gets from the taser rod is identical to Ceaser’s birthmark. Same location and everything.

*What a Wonderful Day!*

Having the marketing mislead that Noa and Mae would be friends was one of the smartest choices. Much like the OG trilogy marketing you expect one type of story but then get something much more layered, nuanced, and not so straight forwards. Having a new human ally essentially also a villain, the heroic ape not trust humans, that was a ballsy move and I'm so glad it paid off.

The weird thing about using bonobos as villains is that the species is more peaceful and sexually active than most other apes

"What is *for* apes? Should we go back to silence?" Contender for my new favorite line in the entire franchise.

The hunting feral humans scene kinda feels like a callback to the start of the very first movie where Ceaser’s mother is captured in the jungle.

Author's Saving Throw (from TV Tropes): For people who didn't like the Mythology Gag of having a mute human female named "Nova" in War for the Planet of the Apes, just 15 years after the downfall of humanity (Planet of the Apes (1968) took place after two thousand years): this film reveals that “Nova" has become a generic ape name for female humans after a few centuries and they will presumably continue to use it as such in the future.

Im surprised you didnt mention the clear Old Testament inspirations for this movie. The main character is named Noa(h), hes gifted knowledge with how to make things, theres a flood that comes in to destroy the remnants of the old world that he saves his people from. Only thing missing was a boat and a rainbow.

No, I don’t want to pet Sylva’s fuzzy little head.

These Ape movies, Kingdom and Dawn especially, are so incredible to watch! These movies are the only ones that rival the Avatar movies in terms of showcasing visual effects and performance capture.

Love the detail with Sun being the eagle that keeps holding on until the very end as if to ensure Proximus' death. Raka forEVER!

I think Trevathan saw Noa as threat to his self preservation after he learned that the ape was able to repair one of his taser staffs which is why he said “He’s gonna skin your monkey alive…” showing some contempt to the one who can threaten his “good life”.

I feel like something not a lot of people know that makes the water scenes so much more terrifying is that apes don't float. Their body fat percentage is too low so they just sink unlike humans. So any time you see an ape go under water during that flood, they drowned.

I could honestly watch 20 hours of the eagle clan living their day to day lives. It’s so beautifully realised, that whole ‘happiness is simple’ life.

2:01 Fun Fact: Chimpanzees grow up faster than humans. That means if Noa and his friends are in their late teens they're around 13 or 14 years old.

One thing the ending of this film implicates to me - the trilogy' Simian flu understandably led everyone to assume that _Rise_ onwards was a full-on continuity reboot of the franchise. But then this film concludes with the reactivation of a satellite network, and sapient humans active in bunkers. Who's to say the nukes still can't be activated? What we thought was a reboot might actually be a stealth prequel to the original movie... On a lighter note, please do an EGA about Red vs. Blue: Restoration, in light of the upcoming Blu-Ray release; that or some other Rooster Teeth property.

Another one I caught is during the rapids scene Raka says to Noa "together strong" leaving "apes" out of the quote because he doesn't want to exclude humans.

The more you think about the more it looks like Proximus tried to recreate Ceaser's OG Squad, A huge strong Gorrila for Buck/Luca, and a forgettable hairless chimp for Rocket I think he tried to get Rakka and his buddy for wise old Maurice but when they refused Proximus had them killed 😢

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAAAAY!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed this movie. A lot more than I expected, I was a little cautious with the trailer as something seemed off. But, I was very happy to be proven wrong. Thought this was very comfortably in the same league as the trilogy.

This was my most anticipated movie of the year and it did not disappoint so many fantastic moments and performances and the ending was mind blowing

Please consider making EGA The Adventures of Tintin (2011) one day.

"jk, They often made more than one doll at a time." is the peak comedy & I WILL be using that as soon as the chance presents itself.

The most powerful reveal to me was when Mae handed off the component to someone with a hazmat suit, and then walked away. She can never go home again. Every decision of hers was made with the knowledge that she could never go home again.

The modern human should have been 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) taller than the "feral humans" due to proper nutrition, sanitation, and medicine. Also, most mammal overheat easily when working as hard as a human -- our "human" super power is the ability to dissipate heat rapidly (and to see over tall grasses).

This is random but.. would love to see "everything great about the secret life of walter mitty"

It is unlikely to be a coincidence that orangutans are by far the best swimmers of the three species, and only the orang drowned. He’s alive, period.

20:02 Noa didn't see a planet. If I'm not mistaken he told Raka he saw a "tunnel that eats light." So a black hole maybe? A wormhole for some astronauts to whoopsie into?

The return of the Friday uploads! WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!!

Aren't we thankful for cinemawins, what a wonderful day!!

I like to think Anthropologist would love some of this movie. Its very VERY close to early human cultures. The old is created but it branches out and soon the new cultures it spawns forget where they came from. Put all of human history into perspective and you see that it all happens pretty quickly. Without the written word and long range communication it takes like 10 generations to forget. Which makes it boht funny and a little depressing when you realize these apes havent left the West Coast of the USA AT ALL in all those generations.

Also that kind of disturbing parallel of how Proximus's army wields electric prods as weapons, like Dodge in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". A symbol of oppression, almost, but now wielded by fellow apes.

I love Kevin Durand’s performance as Proximus Caesar! 🦍

I absolutely LOVE the new POTA trilogy, and loved this film as well. I can't wait to see where they go with this. I think Dawn is still probably my favorite. But this may be 2nd, or 3rd behind War.

I just realised that Proximus was searching to steal knowledge from "superior" beings and got killed by eagles on a rock. Dude is an evil Prometheus, seeking knowledge only for himself while Prometheus wanted it for others.

I loved this movie one reason specifically for having stakes but at the end, none of the main characters loved ones died on the climax, it was surprisingly refreshing and wholesome! And villains claiming Caesar's name is such a "how dare you say his name/use it like that!" 😂

The entire time I was watching this film I was thinking to myself "damn, if Sony put the money and effort they could make a wicked good Horizon Film". I now demand a horizon movie

Do Everything GREAT About Bumblebee, and Rise of the Beasts, and Wish, and The Conjuring, and Suzume

EGA WolfWalkers, Power Rangers 2017, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, and RRR!

I thinkn proximus is the only living type of ape where his rib cages and hips are connected, so that's why he walks straighter and taller than everyone around him - pretty sure Durand said that in an interview.

The film originally had *a much darker ending. Before Noa and Mae part ways, she pulls out a gun and aims it at him while his back is turned. Upon Noa mentioning Raka's name, Mae decides not to pull the trigger and leaves.* *In the final movie, she only conceals a gun for self-defense and never tries to use it.*

When you said you wished more of Kevin Durand's face came through from the motion capture, I was unfamiliar with the name so I looked up "Kevin Durant" I was like oh cool they got an athlete to play a role in this movie. I was so confused when I couldn't find any other information about his role or link to the movie. Now I know about two new Kevin's :)

This movie was a great experience in imax, and the CGI realism was absolutely insane besides some of the weird fish-lense action scenes. It's great that they released a movie cut where the mocap-guys haven't been replaced by the apes. Very respectful.

Haven’t watched yet, but if there isn’t a win for every time Proximus says “EE-VO-LUTION,” I’m gonna be upset.

"Cliffhanger Curse" right as he falls off a literall cliiff! lol 😂

The scene with the Zebras and the human rounding up were actually filmed right next to my house. I actually saw them film it right there. Sadly the zebras weren’t real

Can you do Godzilla Minus One next so I can confirm my opinion of how incredible that movie is?

The opening of the movie with all the vegetation-covered buildings gave me some real early Dragon Ball flash backs. Goku jumping around Mount Paozu, living life until he gets shot in the face by a young girl

I've never seen anybody mention the scar Noa gets from the cattle prod is almost exactly like Caesar's birthmark. Which is never commented on but, I'm pretty sure, intentional

I find it interesting that the film uses so much of its dystopian post apocalyptic setting to make humanity seem like a lost civilization that had wonders and were incredibly advanced. It both adds to the mystique of the setting while also twisting the knife that human "advancement" led to them destroying themselves and leaving echoes of their former selves behind. And even more it pushes that maybe things can still be reclaimed and made better. Especially because humans are technically also apes, and apes together strong

Seeing frank gallagher in this movie was crazy

This movie was a really enjoyable watch, especially on a real IMAX screen. I can't wait for a sequel.

Also, I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but having the first word we here from an ape in the original trilogy sounding almost identical to the first word we here from a human in this series is a cool parallel

Thank you for your positivity and sharing your love of movies 🐵

Something not mentioned: Historically, the Romans had the habit of conquering surrounding tribes (shocker, I know) and then suppressing their culture, so that within decades, while not being Romans themselves, their culture definitely was and they could be relied on being loyal to their rulers. One of the first things you notice is how distinct the culture of the Eagle clan is, and how they are all about symbiosis with their birds. After being captured, this part is actively suppressed, as Proximus, the new Caesar, has no need for eagles, he needs slaves to work on the door. And in the end, it turns out that Noah was able to hold on to his culture and with the help of his clans eagles kills the Roman Empire Larper.

i liked the movie. i thought it was great 'new trilogy' being the descendents of the original trilogy and not understanding the lessons the original movies tried to tell us about war. and about trying to get back to what they considered the "norm" (the humans trying to be the dominant species again) but also showing the apes are just as known to be as corrupt as the humans they hate.

When I saw this in the cinema, I always hoped that both Noa and Mae would suddenly see a spaceship hurtling to the sea. I would've lost my collective shit, given all the other callbacks to the original.

PoTA was always an under ground trilogy which fell wayside among the many mainstream franchises! But this is a worthy sequel to the high bar that Andy Serkis and Matt Reeves set in the trilogy!

These movies are so good literally the only thing they're not doing that I'd want is aknowledging that humans are apes. Which would be fine if "Apes Together Strong" wasn't practically the movie's catchphrase

Gotta admit I was singing along with my ape NOA here in this moment 23:06

I love all of the The Last Of Us references Lee makes in this video lmao. If only he could win the show.

CAN YOU PLEASE DO THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION! 🙏 🙏

I've been waiting for this one. What a wonderful day!

I very much look forward to the day that you do the OG Apes movies.

God, even just the few seconds you showed of the CinemaSins video for this movie made me profoundly angry. So glad you exist, man!

Mae is a villain, she’s a Zealot, and her attitude is what makes it clear that the people in the bunkers will eventually morph into the underground radiation powered psychic humans from the original series, that’s DEFINITELY where they are going with them.

I thought at first that horses could never carry a gorilla like they could a person, but turns out a specific breed called draft horses can carry up to 8000 pounds! A full-grown male gorillas can only get 500 to 600 pounds. They wouldn't be able to fully sprint for too long, but walking for miles would be equivalent to a hiker carrying a medium weight backpack.

I would love to see you do Everything Great About The Village someday!

I noticed on my second viewing that Noa at 12:04 says you were "not true" it seems like his clan doesn't even have the word "lie" in its vocabulary. I like that little world building.

My favorite movie of the year so far. My only complaint is that the didn't keep Proximus alive for the sequel.

3:30 Siberian here. Mosquitos definitely go much higher than 25 feet (MUCH higher). Not all of them, but even one will destroy your sleep.

We got the most wholesome fella on RU-vid making 9/11 jokes before gta6

Yeah. My honest reaction to the end of this movie was that that disc could be thing that helps humans take the world back... and I kind of hope that they don't. It's a very subtle but well-made point about what we've done to the planet as a species.

Kevin Durand has been on my radar since Mystery, Alaska, and I've yet to see him put in a bad performance.

Been waiting for you to cover this gem 💎

In regards to the nebula reaction video, might I recommend reacting to Th3Birdman15? He has a whole series reacting and critizing Cinemasins, and there are quite a few channels reacting to them, but Th3Birdman15 has been the most consistent, so there's a lot to choose from

Great movie, I hope they continue this story. Mae was awesome

Loved the video can you please do everything wrong with Jack and the Giant slayer please

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY

When CinemaWins uploads a video: WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!!

I'm surprised you didn't mention how the bunker was hinted at by the Colonel in War

CinemaWins taking almost a decade to actually rebuke CinemaSins is the only thing wrong with this channel.

Not sure if the script intended the birds to be falcons but those animated birds ain't modeled after falcons for sure😂

I got to see it on opening night, and I was highly impressed. I was partly disappointed with the big reveal about May being there to get that thing from that bunker. When they first revealed her in the trailers, I had a small hope that she would be a kinda time traveler from that space ship from the Tim Burton movie based on her worn clothes being different than the feral humans. Still, it was enjoyable, if only in a mildly bittersweet way by the end

Great timing! Just watched this movie yesterday

I'll eventually watch but liked taking in the film this way in the meantime. Thansk Lee!

Please do Logan Lucky!

I definitely realised that it leans into the fact that the world isn't black and white at all, there are so many shades of grey and all the character are pretty much a shade of grey. They all want the best for themselves and those they care about, wheter it be a bad or good reason.

Hey cinema wins! You should do a video on the book of Eli with Denzel, amazing film man

I love the movie but there is no way in hell those giant satellite dishes would still work after hundreds of years.

Can apes and humans live together? Whos better, Theres no straight answer. As a human we are happy they survived, but if they had the vault (which Mae believed they should) wouldnt they attack apes to take back their world like Woody? Heck he killed his own son to stop the plague, Proximus wasnt wrong, yet he also wanted to kill apes despite Caesers teaching. Its a difficult perspective considering this amazing series is called Planet of the Apes, like Trevathan said. He was right, humans lost their world because of the virus they made, but insist on calling it the simian flu? They had their chance Also Mae seems dark cause she killed Trevathan, but Caeser killed the white ape in the exact same way in War. She seemed genuine about her mother, and teaching her silence, feeling the same sorrow as Caeser with his family. As much as I love Rakas character, he didnt know that Caeser wasnt perfect. He did kill Koba and he didnt like humans, in fact it took an Orangutan like Raka, to convince Caeser to care for Nova from War. Noa I feel is the true north in the dilemma, he knows apes and understands humans and knows the faults and values in each of them. Even he let Sylva drown cause of his father. Grief motivates everyone, but he seems to understand both sides. Finally the necklace, Noa gives it to Mae as trust even after everything. Mae despises apes cause theyre dangerous, but even after EVERYTHING Noa did for her, she didnt trust him not to attack her? She afraid of an instant attack but she killed Lightning with no warning and drowned Proximus' ape prisoners in a flood. Shes the black pot whos been completely untrustworthy from the beginning. The necklace in that scene isnt a sign of coexistence, but divide. The original window divided Caeser between him and the kids he wanted to play with, who like Mae will never accept him or other apes. In Dawn Caeser understood that there is no difference between them, with the added irony of humans evolving from apes. Sorry for the long para, but final verdict, unsure. Surviving extinction could change human hearts, and Noa can teach apes to trust, but they both have dark sides. Im not sure if they can or not
