Critics Consensus

Carving out a new era for The Planet of the Apes with lovable characters and rich visuals, Kingdom doesn't take the crown as best of the franchise but handily justifies its continued reign.

Audience Says

If the plot loses a little momentum after a strong opening, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes still delivers stunning visuals, compelling performances, and proves to be a solid entry in the Apes cannon.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christina Newland iNews.co.uk Kingdom... is more than a big-budget epic: it explores dilemmas that haunt our real world and has so much empathy for its characters you wonder if it wants us to root for the apes, rather than the humans. Rated: 4/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Matt Goldberg TheWrap Ball’s movie — intended as the start of a new story arc featuring new characters — is the typical bloated and bland franchise fodder that can only come out of a Hollywood that relishes IP as far as its name and no further. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times Kingdom is the episode of the series that we didn't know we needed, distinguished by a powerfully set scene, more than decent level acting and a narrative proposal worth appreciating. [Full review in Spanish] May 25, 2024 Full Review Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Rubén Rosario MiamiArtZine The elemental pull of the storytelling guides “Kingdom” over its more schematic and placeholder elements, resulting in a serviceable 21st century variation on the sword-and-sandal epic of past generations. It'll do.

LAFLEUR Great start to a new trilogy while keeping the mythology of the reeves universe Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Justin not the best planet of the apes movie. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Jordan F Very strong female lead with an interesting take as there’s a lot less talking than a typical movie. A darker movie for family but it’s still something that the fam can enjoy together. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Glen One of the best in this series! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Kervin Great movie kept with my expectations... Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Greisy This movie was a big let down compared to all the other movies. I went to watch it with my husband and his best friend and we decided to leave halfway through the movie as it was simply not it at all. It was such a plain and long movie. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
