A brave new world sees nature unbridled in “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”

Nevertheless, this iteration feels like it is set to be a more heartfelt, what-connotes-humanity type of excursion with a sprinkle of Disney-esque magic. Which may or may not work in its favour. Nevertheless, colour me intrigued.
