The time has come my friends, the time to look far into the future of our world when it is ruled by apes as the new 20th Century Studios film “Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes” opens today in theaters everywhere. I’ve shared some other clips and thoughts about the new film which the interested can find by clicking HERE. Growing up I loved the original “Planet Of The Apes” films and while I didn’t see the film before this one, definitely want to check this one out. As a refresher I’m sharing the premise, cast and theatrical release poster. Have at it.

The Premise: Generations after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes, many ape clans have emerged in the oasis to which Caesar led his fellow apes, while humans have regressed into a feral state. When the ape leader Proximus Caesar perverts the teachings of Caesar to enslave other clans in search of the last traces of a secret human technology, the ape Noa embarks on a journey to find freedom alongside a young human woman named Mae.
