More than 300 years and several generations after the virus ravaged the planet, the disease took its toll on humans, the species dwindling to the brink of extinction.
The apes acquired intelligence and became the dominant animal. In the early years, Caesar emerged as their leader, and was deified after his death.
The word of Caesar is one of the fundamental themes of "The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," the latest film in the renowned sci-fi saga.
Long after his death, what is written endures, while what is spoken takes flight and fades into oblivion. "Apes. Together. Strong," he preached.
The civilization of the apes has progressed, yet they have not reached the technological and scientific zenith of humans.
This tribal aspect is evident in the character of Noa (Owen Teague), a member of the Eagle Clan.
Caesar's words called for unity among apes, but by that point, their meaning had already begun to blur.
Proximus (Kevin Durand), self-proclaimed Caesar, seeks to impose his vision and does not hesitate to use violence if necessary.
The film is magnificent, both technically and visually: the rendering of the apes and the motion-capture animations continue to evolve.
If you're planning a Planet of the Apes saga marathon, here's some good news: all the movies from the franchise are available on Disney+.
