Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes I 'What a Wonderful Day' Official Clip

Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign. Apes are the dominant species living harmoniously with one another and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape will undertake a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.

Starring Freya Allan, William H. Macy, Dichen Lachman, Kevin Durand, Owen Teague, Peter Macon, and Travis Jeffery.

A charismatic leader twisting the words of a historical icon for their own benefit. Sounds very human.

An instant parallel I saw was Proximus walking up and not acknowledging anyone. Caesar ALWAYS made sure to acknowledge & touch each ape whenever he walked thru the masses. Very telling

[nickjames]

"What a wonderful day!" This line is already iconic

[gilgameshdhofar]

Caesar's words, but Koba's spirit

[neegachu]

That symbol of Cesar’s old window being remembered is a very nice touch

[huntercool]

Funny how Proximus took one of Caesar’s laws to heart *”Apes Together Strong”* but not his most important law, *”Ape Not Kill Ape.”*

[atom]

Ive started off every shift at my job by shouting “WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!” to the rest of my department ever since I’ve seen this

[huntercool]

I love how Caesar is now basically like *”Ape Jesus”*

[DM-wkyr]

So amazing how a window frame became the symbol of the Ape religion after 300 years.

I like how Proximus' salute is the opposite of Caesar's. Instead of the palm up "asking for permission" gesture, they all point their palms down, like they're asking him to guide them.

[mdknowles]

I love how Noa is like "is this supposed to be a king?"

[generalstorm]

The voice actor who voices Proximus is absolutely fantastic. The way he delivers his lines is just...chef's kiss.

[ironvlogger]

To quote Ash: Caesar wouldn't want this

[darwinaguilero]

I knew he wouldn’t have lived to see it, but I would love to see how Caesar would react seeing how developed and literate the apes become. He’d at least tear up.

[karkoutheweirdo]

I don't know why, but the silava spewing outta his mouth when saying "Wonderful" is so satisfying to me.

[tomixparker]

Watched this in the theatres yesterday. All i can say is, it lived up to the expectations. Classic movies like this are rare nowadays. Excited for the next part.

[UnfoundFilms]

Love how this series turned bonobos from the most peaceful apes into absolute psychopaths

[Freeden]

I hope Kevin Durand gets the recognition he deserves for this role.

[Xerruy]

I love how Caesar’s attic window has become such an iconic piece of imagery in these films

[lukebaxter]

To see Proximus twist and use Caesar's words, which were meant for good, for his own gain and have apes blindly follow him like some religious or cult figure is just disgusting. I'm already more intrigued to learn more of him.

Edit: Saw it yesterday as of writing this and I loved the film. The little we knew of Proximus definitely made me curious.
