- The franchise is known for its hyperrealistic visual effects. Director Wes Ball plans to release a pared-down version of the movie so audiences can better appreciate the "level of craft and artistry.”
- Longtime star Andy Serkis is out, but new talent Owen Teague and Freya Allan give the franchise a refresh.
- Why I’ll be watching: I saw the extremely different movie Sasquatch Sunset a few weeks ago, and now I’m hooked on the nuances of primate politics.
