Though Matt Reeves has never really been one of my favourite directors, his work on the previous apes trilogy was commendable. Six years after the release of War for the Planet of the Apes, we are back at it again in the world of the apes.
As a concept, these stories have always been interesting: a world where apes rule and humanity has regressed to a primitive state. Technology has allowed for better-looking special effects, so yes some may think we need to revive the franchise, but I didn't really see the need for it. However, we live in the age of franchises, and the previous trilogy made a lot of money, so the studio had to find a way to bring it back.
