In the review of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes we explained to you that the new chapter of the saga could be the beginning of a new narrative course. Indeed, it should: why at this point continuing the story, and closing the circle, becomes practically necessary.
Let me explain better: with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes of 2011, the franchise rewrote the classic story recounting the origin of ape dominance on Earth. With Apes Revolution And The War by Matt Reeves we then witnessed the conflict between humans and primates, with Caesar’s suffering epic which sanctioned the affirmation of his race and the near extinction of the human race.
The 2024 film throws us into a world set 300 years after The War, in which the evolutionary process resumed its course in favor of monkeys. The civilization that we see in the new chapter seems to have developed at an age that resembles the proto-Middle Ages, it cannot therefore be ruled out that in the next feature films of the series we will see the quadrumanas make increasingly advanced progress, until they reach the post-Middle Ages evolutionary structure. modern that we saw in the very first film in 1968.
Since the 20th Century Studios franchise was born as a prequel-reboot of the classic series, it is reasonable to expect that sooner or later the events of the brand will be linked to the events of the first, historic episode. However, we are currently around 2300: the events of Planets of the Apes of ’68 instead take place in around 2600.
If you remember, then, the current saga also takes into account a group of astronauts lost in space following an exploratory mission: always Dawn of the Planet of the ApesIn fact, we see the Icarus crew leaving for the expedition among the stars, and subsequently a newspaper clipping suggests that NASA subsequently lost track of the spaceship.
It therefore seems more than plausible to imagine that, if the series continues in the coming years, we will witness George Taylor’s crash landing againwho will find himself in a world completely dominated by monkeys.
