As the highly anticipated Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes nears its May 10 release date, director Wes Ball brings us the latest instalment in this beloved sci-fi franchise. The film’s final trailer was recently revealed by Fox, and it contains a significant revelation that might sway those still undecided about watching it.
Humans Can Speak
In this new trailer, amidst the typical montage of pivotal moments from the film, a startling discovery is that humans can speak in “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.” The reaction of the apes depicted in the trailer suggests they are utterly shocked by this revelation. While not all humans seem to possess this ability, it certainly raises intriguing questions about the state of humanity in this post-apocalyptic world.
The Mystery Unraveled
Following the events of “War for the Planet of the Apes,” where the Simian Flu caused humanity’s downfall by robbing them of the power of speech, “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” takes place generations later. The assumption was that all surviving humans had devolved into feral beings incapable of speech. However, this new development challenges that assumption, suggesting that not all humans have regressed in the same way.
Fascinating Questions
While the trailer’s revelation serves as a spoiler, it also introduces compelling new questions. How can certain humans still talk? Are there others like them? What do they know about the apes’ dominance? How do they perceive their world? These mysteries add depth to the film’s narrative and invite audiences to ponder the intricate dynamics between humans and apes in this dynamic dystopian society.
In Theaters Soon
Mark your calendars for May 10, when “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” hits theatres.
