How Dolby Can Elevate The Experience Of Seeing Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes
Dolby Cinema theaters have a few features that make them a great choice specifically for watching grand, epic stories, like that of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes play out. Firstly, the screens tend to be bigger than those in a typical theater, so audiences will be able to see the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes characters—not to mention the movie’s expansive title—in impressive detail. Dolby Vision is also designed to bring out darker darks and lighter lights, making the unique world of Wes Ball’s movie look even more lifelike.
Before Dolby was known for designing movie theaters, the company made a name for itself in audio. Elements like sound design and effects are obviously crucial to any film but are especially important when subtly cluing an audience into a new setting, like the post-apocalyptic Earth of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. The enhanced audio capability of Dolby Cinemas is also sure to help the score by John Paesano shine—and given that the composer has previously turned in top-tier scores for the best Marvel Netflix show in Daredevil and Robert Kirkman’s genre-defying Invincible, his work is worth a clear listen.
As Ball discusses in the clip above, the director was passionate about both the visuals and the audio in his latest film. Judging by the wealth of positive feedback the movie has received (see Screen Rant’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes review), Ball’s work has paid off. Based on the reviews, the movie is sure to shine in any format, but for audiences in search of an enhanced experience, Dolby may just be the way to go.
