Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (out May 9) is the 4th instalment in the rebooted franchise and I'm happy to report it still has legs. Set several generations after the last film (from 2017), it explores interesting ideas such as the way information is passed down over time. It's too long at 145 minutes but it strikes a nice balance of drama, comedy, and action. Grade: B+.
