tl;dr not worth watching for itself but is fine background noise for when you are doing something else

Not that the franchise was ever better than "not unwatchable" but this one came out just below that threshold.

A multi century time jump after the last one, peaceful ape tribe is doing peaceful ape stuff when they get bumrushed by warlike ape tribe and conscripted into being their helots. The main hero ape from peaceful tribe has to find a way to free them.

I'm probably not the right audience but chimpanzee politics doesn't exactly get my blood flowing. The CG was impressive but the CG is impressive everywhere nowadays. There was the obligatory human/ape interaction where they had to, yet again, point out how humans are the really uncivilized and the apes are better.

It is 2.5 hours and a slog and I watched it over 4 days, mostly in the background while scrolling twitter or eating lunch.

No obvious wokeness beyond mild anti-humanism which is almost obligatory. I thought the woman human character was exhibiting mary-sueness until it is sort-of explained how she is so knowledgeable.

The best thing it has going for it is CG eagles are cool.
