Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
No one can stop the reign.
Several generations following Caesar's reign, apes – now the dominant species – live harmoniously while humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all he's known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.

Forced LGBTQ Character!
To ensure inclusion and for no other reason, they made Raka the orangutan gay, yet his orientation serves no purpose. Stopped watching immediately.

Boring action film
"Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" features impressive CGI, but when a movie is mostly CGI then I raise the bar high for the plot and pacing. It did not meet my expectations. The movie is too long, with too much action yet too much boredom.
On the woke front, the male orangutan Raka, played by Bortus of "The Orville", says the line, "he was my village", referring to the bones of an ape on a funeral pyre. To make sure I heard that correctly, I searched the Internet, which pointed me to three websites: one gay, one furry, plus Reddit. Their consensus is that that this orangutan was gay, but they complain that there should have been much more gay and gay-bestiality stuff, panning the movie as a result. This is why we can't have nice movies. And now I need to wash my eyes out with bleach, though I was exposed only to words.

Better Than Some of The Previous Apes Movies
The big thing here seems to be the assumption that Raka is gay. I don't know where that's coming from or how you would get there. Nothing
is actually said other than the line 'he was my village'. He says this after revealing he is part of a clan of keepers for Caesar and they
were all destroyed and the 2 of them where the only ones left. This line seems to be referring to the fact they were the only ones of the clan
that were left as it is following the discussion that Noa lost his whole village. I didn't get a gay vibe at all from him. However it should
be noted that only 2 humans are really in this movie. The 'good' strong smart noble female and the 'bad' weak white male that gives in and follows the Apes. Also of note is the end reveal of the survivors underground seems to be almost entirely female. That aside I thought this was a better entry for the franchise. The CG is actually very well done as is the acting and voices. The story is a little cliché and you can kind of guess most of it but I still found it an enjoyable film.
