Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar's reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes 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.

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.

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.

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]

Odie Henderson

Boston Globe

“Kingdom” aims for some sort of anti-fascism and anti-gun statement. But the film tramples on its own undeveloped ideas when it suddenly become a large-scale actioner. It’s as if the studio had a carnage meter that had to hit 11 before fadeout.

Rated: 2/4

Cape Cod Wave Magazine

This ho-hum adventure has all of the suspense and excitement of a trip to McDonald’s.

Rated: 2.5/4

Film Feeder

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes carries enough promise for future instalments, and proves that this series, unlike its long-suffering humans, is not yet headed towards extinction.

Rated: 3/5

Ball expands the primate saga into unexpected areas that often boasts a certain visual prowess, but on the surface its plot frequents common places that turn the science-fiction adventure into a predictable event. [Full review in Spanish]

awesome film. this reinvigorated my interest in the planet of the ape movies. The conflict between human and ape, ape and ape, and the legacy of ceasar in the universe is so good.
