Does ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ Rely Too Heavily on CGI?
According to ScreenRant, in response to social media comments about the film’s CGI dependence, director Wes Ball jokingly admitted to a significant CGI presence in ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.’ However, his remarks were meant to celebrate the capabilities of modern visual effects rather than indicate a lack of quality.
While excessive CGI usage is often associated with lower production values, this is far from the case for the ‘Planet of the Apes’ reboot franchise. The previous films, including ‘Rise,’ ‘Dawn,’ and ‘War for the Planet of the Apes,’ have showcased impeccable visual effects, enabling groundbreaking performances like Andy Serkis’ acclaimed portrayal of Caesar.
Ball’s comments suggest that ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ will continue this tradition of excellence, utilizing cutting-edge CGI to bring the film’s post-apocalyptic world and character performances to life.
