After watching the trailers I was disappointed by the plot. Noa (Owen Teague) a nude chimpanzee with no genitals is part of a primitive Chimp village who train eagles to get fish for them because Chimps love fish. A human is following him around. A group of Gorillas who also follow the teaching of Caesar burn his village and take prisoners. Noa must travel in the forbidden valley to rescue his clan. Here he teams up with Mae (Freya Allan) a rare talking human to help him. She has a hidden agenda.
The film pays homage to the original film with a doll that says Mama, the name Nova, and the dead human scarecrows on X frames. This made me think this a distant prequel to the original, although a lot did not line up. The characters didn't excite me. The plot could have been better.
