The franchise is quite popular and a lot of people follow it. The concept is also good to watch where the world is in the hands of Apes. Also, we all love to watch a nice Sci-fi movie.
The response and reviews for this film are great and fans love it. Unfortunately, this was not the case with me. I felt the movie started a bit slow and caught its pace in between making us curious about what will happen next. But as soon things got to an interesting point, things fell flat. Proximus, the Villain has no character building and looks faded. Also, the story contradicts itself, when telling about how humans have changed over the years,
Overall it is a decent watch with great VFX. As a Sci-fi fan a theatrical experience will be great for such movie if you don’t give much attention to the details. I also hope the pothole in this movie will be filled in upcoming parts (If they plan to take the series forward).
