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.

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]

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

Cambridge Day

The film’s gorgeously shot and boasts some imaginative world building, but there’s a lot going on, perhaps too much.

Rated: 2.5/4

Phantom Tollbooth

A thrilling film. Man against beast, but in this universe, who is considered a man and who is the beast?

Rated: 3/5

Awards Daily

At 2 hours 25 minutes, Kingdom could have benefitted from tighter editing. Despite plenty of exciting confrontations and action sequences, for every step forward, the story takes two steps back into a lull.

I believe Wes Ball is giving us such an expanding and tremendous begining of a new legacy of the entire Planet of the Apes Franchise besides the Andy Serkis trilogy with these amazing new characters with this amazing storyline that I just can't describe how amazing this film turn out to be and having Wes Ball in the action.

The plot was thin and didnt transport me anywhere. I guess apes and mankind cant coexist because humans are destructive.
