About
You may enjoy this if you want a darker, oddball sci‑fi adventure with practical ape effects and a pulpy, action-forward vibe, similar to Planet of the Apes (1968); Not for you if you need tight pacing and clear plotting.
Pros: striking ape makeup; imaginative worldbuilding; energetic action beats | Cons: weak script; uneven acting; confusing ending
